Why do we ask questions on this site??????????

I was wondering this same thing before. A lot of people just answer for the points. What honestly what do the points do. Its all very confusing to me.\n\nI guess its nice to ask questions to people with out them truly knowing who you are. So they can't judge.

This site is intended for people to ask serious questions and get serious answers. Those of us who know some things would like to get the points we deserve for the time and effort we take to answer instead of seeing yahoos get points for being plain silly. This goes for all categories of the Yahoo Answers site, not just the Baseball category.

You are right ! There are some VERY stupid question on here. AND, most people do NOT care about them.\n\nHowever, there are also some very interesting, intelligent and thought provoking questions on here too. ALOT of people answer ONLY ones that fall into these catagories. Many people care very much about them.\n\nYou have access to just about the entire world here. It is up to you if you want to make it something silly or not.

You're a spammer.\n\nYou continue to ask the same question plugging the same website.\n\nVery lame.

Why do so many people ask such stupid questions?  You know you really don't want an answer, you just want someone to tell you what you want to hear, and criticize those who don't agree with you.  A plea to all, please stop asking stupid questions that you don't really want an answer to!

You should first ask why you asked this question.\n\nIf you're just trying to run up answers points I guess meaningless questions work you'll see lots of examples like this one.  \n\nThe idea behind this site is not to come up with questions but rather to answer them, read them and ask them when you have one.

I think people are more enthusiastic about answering questions!!\n\nThe reason people are enthusiastic about answering questions on this portal is that we, human beings, like to consider ourselves to be intelligent creatures and this is one forum where we can proove our knowledge and wisdom.\n\nAnd the reason why people are enthusiastic in asking questions is that they want answers from real people instead of having to use a search engine.

Yahoo Search is at the bottom of the "your answer" space, specifically so people can use their search engine to look up answers.  This site is designed to drive more traffic to Yahoo Search.  There is also a Yahoo Questions site that has researched answers, not silly ones like most of these are.
