Why does Yahoo Answers, a 50 billion dollar company take so many "breathers"?

Question

Why can't Susan Decker and Yahoo (i.e. Yahoo Answers) afford to upgrade their servers to handle the traffic that Yahoo Answers gets. You'd think that Yahoo (on the verge of getting $50 billion form Microsoft) and Decker with her $80 million compensation could afford a few server upgrades.

Answer 1

Yahoo’s “coffee breaks” are long because not only do they drink pure Columbian coffee but they go to Columbia to drink it! That poor little burro has a hard time getting up and down the mountain to bring those fresh coffee beans.

They take so many "breathers" that we should send them some asthma inhalers.

Seriously, Yahoo has been known for a long, long time for having a lot of glitches. They think it’s cute to put those “breather” or “coffee break” messages because they don’t want to admit “We’ve screwed something up again so you, the users, just have to learn to live with it.”

Welcome to YaHELL.

Answer 6

This is mainly due to the need of Yahoo to find ways to fight off the Big Bad Microsoft. It takes a lot of thought to decide where to spend all that money!
