    Around eighteen years ago I linked a Yahoo! question to a then friend of mine. He said “I love Yahoo! Answers, trolls trolling trolls.”

    Not sure why this comes to mind at the moment …

      My favorite story about yahoo Answers is that I was a huge troll. Like, telling people the wrong thing in recipes, and certain things was interchangeable. All lies. And I don’t know shit about food.

      And worse, id get lots of Helpful reviews.

      Then a decade later Yahoo Answers sent me a email saying that some of my answers were Abuse and would be banned.

      So for 10 whole years, my lies were up?

      Then the year after, yahoo answers was deactivated.
