Google Closure Exmples Did Google Answers Really Shut Down Because Of This Site?

Did Google Answers really shut down because of this site? - google closure exmples

I understand that the "researchers are paid here," but the quality of the responses seem to be quite low. A number of news sites reported the closure of Google Answers to tell to close primarily because of competition from this page. Really?

If you think that explains how the general quality could be given much less than unity and the individual responses. Please believe, please give a reason why I personally believe that some (in my case, I think the problem was poor / no advertising and rely) almost exclusively on word of mouth for people see website.
