Yahoo!Answers - Kinda Sad
People July 30th, 2008I’m beginning to lose my interest. It’s fun, climbing up the level ladder at breakneck speed…
… but some of the people there are such pathetic losers. There’s this one guy - who calls himself a web designer - that answers a question, gives everyone else the thumbs down - not because their answers are wrong, mind, but to make himself look good - then logs in with another account, gives every one else another thumbs down, and himself a thumbs up. Bingo!
The whole thing is a race to get as many points as possible - never mind about just giving people information, absolutely never mind acknowledging other people may give good information, too…
His answers aren’t bad… but his attitude is one of a first-grader. A retarded bully first-grader. And his website, oh my god, his site… animated GIFs all over the place. A yellow background. With… with horizontal lines, like a college binder. Sorry, but I can’t respect the petty if-I-make-everybody-look-bad-it-makes-me-look-good behavior. And there’s plenty of ‘em like that.
Yeah… like with a lot of other things in life, Yahoo! isn’t capable of keeping me interested. The Laissez-faire attitude of the actual staff regarding spam reporting; the trolling; the adults acting like kids with a double-bottomed shopping bag in a candy store…
Time to move on, I think.

Realizing very well that I may be throwing out the baby with the dirty water...
If your website is a blogspot.com website or your email or url ends in .ru, you can pretty much expect your comment to be considered spam - experience proves me right. I don't click links in spam, I don't approve spam, and all comments are moderated. Save yourself the trouble. I have NO issues whatsoever going in and spending an hour deleting crap. All it takes is one click, anyway, and *poof*, spam buhbye.
It's your loss of time, not mine.

Its still a nice way to get a bit of traffic, even though most of the users are teenagers who care little about the answer they chose as the best.
