Yahoo Answers is shutting down on 4 May 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Will Yahoo survive as a search engine and mail ?

This is very likely going to be the last question that I am going to ask, but in just less than 2 days, Yahoo Answers will become a read only thread, and then on May 4th at who knows what time, it will be shutdown entirely. So can Yahoo survive as search engine and mail only, since Yahoo shutdown Yahoo Groups last December. So how long do you think it will be, before you get rid of your Yahoo account, will you wait until at least May 4th, so you can see what will be seen if anything in place of Yahoo Answers, or just be a blank white page, or will be a message that will say that Yahoo Answers no longer exists.

    I think they can with mail and search,these are there two core products / services.

    Search won't be much for them to maintain, they get their results from Bing.

    Hydrogen peroxide "H2O2" kills nanoworms inside face masks. The elite is faking that they took the real vaccine; the real vaccine will cause spiritual and physical damage. When will the official churches start praying for the false prophet? Orthodox Christian three hand signs are different than Buddhist mudras. Ecumenism = 263 heresies; each heresy leads to hell. Orthodoxy = the only true faith; Roman Catholics tried one cup - one spoon ritual and got sick with Bubonic plague; if heresy enters Orthodox monastery then monks/nuns will get sick with flu/tuberculosis (for instance); Orthodox churches who closed for COVID or had disposable cups/spoons or dipped spoon into alcohol are no longer brides of Christ (now they serve Satan and honor Satan's new COVID religion). Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good. SSN is written as a barcode/QRcode; then it's put into a chip; chip is put into vaccine; chipped people are influenced (by super computers) to receive grey plastic card World Passport with no name on it (but when they stretch their hands to get it, gov't clerk presses secret button to administer the unforgivable green 666 tattoo by isotope rays). If you reject mark of the beast (by hiding within a 10-15 people group according to saints Gabriel Urgebadze and SeraphimofSarov), then your direct ancestors go to heaven (according to saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov from Ural). First vaccine shuts off your immune system; second vaccine gives you diseases; third vaccine puts your immune system back and it will start fighting the diseases and will cause death. Saint Paisios from Mount Athos said that the devil wants to deceive the rich with freemasonry, poor with communism, and believers with ecumenism. Elpidios Vagianakis said that there will be seven “mark of the beast” vaccines; reject all of them! Documents are from Satan; burn all the documents that you can find. Electronics will be used to track you. Even old broken unplugged 1970 TV set will show the evil flying antichrist using Tesla's ether. Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good; always pray the Jesus prayer or to saints who help right away (like saint VyacheslavKrasheninnikov according to whom if you reject mark of the beast, then your direct ancestors go to heaven); forgive me.

    Source(s): Pray the Jesus prayer just like priest ElpidiosVagianakis asked you to do: 33 times (symbolizing 33 years of Christ) at 6am, then at 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm, 12pm, 3am. If you remember, awake, etc., pray it. Later you will pray it in your sleep. Documents are from Satan; burn all the documents that you can find. Electronics will be used to track you. Even old broken unplugged 1970 TV set will show the evil flying antichrist using Tesla's ether. Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good; always pray the Jesus prayer or to saints who help right away (like saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov according to whom if you reject mark of the beast, then your direct ancestors go to heaven); forgive me.

    For now Yes Search Engine and Email is not going anywhere

    Answers is only a small part of yahoo which is now a small part of verizon.  In the last few years it's had few active users and not the demographic yahoo were hoping for.  It's closing because it's not making them money.  It's as simple as that.  I'm surprised that the search engine is still going as it's so rubbish.  Even bing is better and that's saying something.  I think the mail will be around for a while yet.  Lately they've been genuinely trying to modernise it in a usable way so I think that they'll try to relaunch it in some form or other.  @yahoo.whatever may become a legacy address.  Still, I'd advise anyone who doesn't have a back up email address with another provider to make one asap.  It's not just for big disasters like being discontinued, what would you do if your only email went down for a few days due to a cyber attack?  It's good to have options.

    Yes. Even with the closure of Answers in just a little more than two weeks, this won't impact the rest of Yahoo's other services you normally use. It's no different from Groups' closure last December and the shuttering of Messenger almost three years ago and all users' Yahoo accounts weren't impacted in either situation.

    Yeah, I know that ya is closing and I'm not a fortune teller. It doesn't matter to me anyway. You all are too invested in Yahoo, for some reason.
