Unless I 100% own my 'answers' and my social network won't be sold, I won't use this.
I see there being value as an open source project, but if this is just a way to monetize and mine me and my friend's opinions then jelly can go jump in a lake.

I'm being a bit facetious but unless the things you are answering are things that only you know the answer to, it's a bit silly to demand some sort of ownership over what usually amounts to basic knowledge.
Clearly, an aversion to mining in general is a fair argument against, but even if it were open source, third parties would mine it and use it for their own purposes, at least when you go directly with a company like this, they are beholden to their terms of service, and privacy policies, which I am sure is no consolation :)

This allows full intended use but not ability to sell your answers to marketers, repackage as a book, etc.
Or they could go entirely in the other direction, and make all content on their site Creative Commons.
