Very well. We will give you an answer to your question over the course of several pages, often just to complete one sentence, so that on each page we can load up 20 banner ads above, below, and to the sides.

Yes this will lag like crazy and very likely freeze up your browser, but meh... some jackasses are paying us obscene amounts of money to throw these ads in your face.

Maybe instead of telling us how crappy a site we are you ought to boycott every business that advertises with us. THAT might teach us, and those businesses, a lesson once and for all.

Awful
October 21, 2017

This site is awful. When you want one simple sentence to answer a question, instead you get spammed with ads all over the screen, and it has like 15 dumb slides just to say one or two sentences. Very inconvenient. And almost every time I try to use it, it just freezes up and crashes. Never use this. Use ANY website but this.

Pretty simple review,
Asked question,
Paid for question all ok,
Unsubscribed
Then charged anyway,

Full refund from paypal not after spending a lot of time on the issue. Enjoy the jpg

Most concerning was the incorrect charge after unsubscribing.
Their system appears to be automated and the lack of follow-through cancelation request appears to be either a result of bad billing procedures or intentional misuse of billing information.

So would avoid,
Probably could have spent the time researching the question in google or a library, but that isn't the point.

ADS ARE HORRENDOUS
April 19, 2017

I counted. There were 5 ads without me not even having to scroll down. This does NOT include the 4 that popped up in an ad that blocked the entire screen! Awful! When I finally clicked out of the screen, it wasn't even the right question displayed!

Click bait--Do Not Use
January 7, 2017

Covered my daughter's Chromebook screen with ads--so many that she had to ask for help. The CLOSE button on the ads took us to an ad for Country Inns and Suites. I wonder if the Carlson Group, which owns that hotel, agreed to such a smarmy bait and switch. Makes me not want to stay there, that's for certain!

Site doesn't send email verification - despite several attempts to resend for it. When you then try to reset your password, it'll then say it cannot, because your email already exists. That's crook city.

Nothing but false information. And you can't even contact them to clarify a story Complete waste of time and data., I have a picture that can prove one of their stories false but there's no way to upload it or even contact anyone that tells you it's false

Not much to say really, just a total money spinner, no intention of providing any sort of useful content, just as many advertising refreshes per user visit as possible to get their revenue up. Site runs like an absolute dog too, no idea how they manage it on modern browsers with the recent boom in browser frameworks and JavaScript performance.

They should be shot.

My problem with this website is navigating through all the pop-up and advertisements on their page. Man it was horrible. I just went back to google and googled my request... lol. No one has time for that many advertisements!

Horrible user experience
December 20, 2014

Horrible user experience. It's a shame that the sometimes interesting content is embedded in such absolute garbage design. Especially detest that they spread one image literally across three pages by changing just the caption. So for 10 images they harvest 30+ page views. Of course the load time is horrendous. Navigation is like trying to find the light switch in the dark. Love how they place advertisements in close proximity to the content with fake navigation arrows to bait you into accidentally clicking the ad. Come on, really? If Ray Charles designed websites, they would look like Answers.com.
