Why do so many people make up questions?

Made up questions deserve made up answers. If you have the time. I only answer where I find joy or knowledge.. that's why I am here.\n\nI'd sometimes just ignore those questions, other times actually roll my eyes and there were times that I paid attention to them! Yeah, I felt patient!!

Well, when someone gets too many answers they may want to know which is more accurate and a way to find that out is to know how many other people think that way, it is not about popularity, the asker wants an answer.

Probably because there are some ignorant people out there.  There are some people who genuinely come to "Y Answers", looking for serious answers.  While others view it as an opportunity to ask irrelevant or sometimes disgusting questions.  Therefore, when you have a good number of people being silly and derogatory in their questions, you'll get silly and derogatory responses, and at times those people will spill over onto questions that are quite sincere.  I'm not trying to excuse anyone's behavior. I'm just thinking maybe that's the reason why so many people act so immature on here.  I must admit, though, that it doesn't bother me as much anymore because there are 10 responsible, fun and respectful people for every one of those ignorant ones.

its kinda interesting seeing what other ppl write. its also natural of humans to try to find validation and importance of their existence or somethin like that so when ppl answer, it makes them feel good.

It is all to prevalent. Many of the "questions" here show it.

People don't answer questions on here properly because they are usually too lazy to form a proper sentence and really think about the answer to a question.\nThey just want the quick two points.\nIt's extremely annoying but on the upside for every five bad answers you usually get a really good informative and well thought out answer.

There are a lot of people on this board and sometimes a question may get overlooked.  Just keep asking and someone will answer.  Maybe you are not catergorizing your questions right.

They probably do not want too many questions and answers in their system, as it may slow it down. Also, they don't want people making many pointless questions or answers.

Some people are overly intelligent, some are not.\nSome people seriously need an answer, then some people have a craving to see if they can get an other answer with a stupid question like yours.

Because you can easily answer a question like this with a simple sentance, or even one or two words. But if I ask you something serious you might have to write a paragraph or do some other research. Plus, anyone can give advice or answer a serious joke, if you asking questions about how to set up your TV or a question about history, maybe only a few people actually know the answer. \n\nAnother thing is, after looking at most of the questions on here, I have to assume that 95% of the users on here are pre-teen girls looking for dating advice.

Most people are idiots. alot of ppl take things too seriously, even silly questions.

Good questions require thought and knowledge.  Some people are looking for an easy two points and thusly will answer the "stupidest" questions.

Well what you say is partly true. There are some people here who make useless questions or stupid questions like what's 1+1 or something stupid like that. i think most people here are just bored and just want to do random ****.

it is very obvious that we all do stupidities that we can't recognize as such at times we are doing them. as i wrote in one of my answers to your questions, humans are capable of memorizing huge amount of information, but do not filter such info properly.\n\nI always thought that there was a reason why was that question asked and why it was asked that way....\n\nwell, hope it helps though.\n\ncheers\n\nnedzad

Because too many people take things too personally! They think these questions or comments are being directed to themselves for real and feel the need to defend. The truth is they are actually defending themselves TO themselves. Everyone here is just a mirror for the inner conflict that occurs.

They do it to get attention.  They are also trying to get you to respond/argue, so that they can laugh at you.  It could also be because they don't know you, so they figured acting stupid is ok.  Some people's "stupid questions" may actually be real ones.  That is just what I think.

Unless the questions require only a yes or no, most of the questions need an explanation, that's why.\n\nIf you do not want to see long answers be specific in your asking. You'll see
