What are your thoughts about Y/A shutting down on May 4th?

Disappointed but not surprised. Alas, it's questions like this one (chat violation) that added to the decline of the site.

Too good to last. They had to censor and were having trouble with people sharing in real time.

It was to be expected. They removed the link on their main site a few months ago. They like to cut any non growth service. Actions like this is why yahoo lost 90% of their value before they were sold to Verizon. Cut cut cut until nothing is left and then wonder why nobody goes to their site any more. 

Now people will have to find a sort of social media cite that is like the Yahoo Answers, but Quora definitely is not like Yahoo Answers because Quora involves sort of an academic approach to everything.
