Yahoo Answers, a question-and-answer platform that launched more than 15 years ago and became one of the largest troves of information — and misinformation — on the internet, is shutting down on May 4.

The Verizon-owned website announced the platform’s cancellation Monday with a terse statement on Yahoo Answers’ homepage. The portal will go into “read only” mode on April 20 and avid users will have until June 30 to download content, Yahoo explained on its help page.
