Is it their affiliation with Yahoo itself that gives it this power? Either way, it's an atrocity because the only thing Yahoo Answers is good for is: 1) Roundabout information that almost always comes from Wikipedia anyway, 2) Straight up misinformation, 3) Hate speech and conspiracy theories. Go to Yahoo Answers and type in anything related to immigration or terrorism and you'll get an uneasy sense of the type of people answering questions in the community. Perhaps it's better for business-related topics, but anything about Yahoo Answers makes me uncomfortable.
