What's up with all these "can a 14 y/o make money online" questions?

Question

Are they scams or are teenagers so lazy nowadays that they don't wanna get off their butts to find a job like normal people? If these teens are serious they need to know that a lot of online jobs are scams and you should never have to pay somebody to work.

Answer 1

I agree, but come on, video games are getting expensive.  And all the young ladies like a little man that can take them out somewhere nice.

*SIGH*  

(I mean this quite sarcastically)

Answer 2

hmm interesting perspective about it being spammers. I personally (maybe cause im new) kinda thought they were legitmate questions and i was recommending a site that is legitmate.

At least i have a good idea who's reporting me now for answering what i htink are honest questions.

Will avoid these ones.

Answer 3

You hit the nail on the head. The people asking the questions and the spammers answering them are ruining Yahoo Answers. I try to report as many as possible, but they keep coming back and Yahoo doesn't seem to care.

Answer 4

maybe because its hard or almost impossible to find a job at that age?

Answer 5

It's just two part spamming.  Spammers set up multiple accounts, some pretending to be young teens.  They ask the question with the "young teen" account and then answer it with another account.

Keep reporting them!

Answer 6

I think most of the teens that are looking for ways to make money online are just sick of making minimum wage, so they look elsewhere for income...

Answer 7

They are scams and Pedophile rings looking for minors.
