Yahoo forces you to subscribe to their premium email service by bombarding my email account with offensive advertising. They give you no other option to stop this practice!

Authoritarian
September 28, 2024

The Yahoo news page links garbage news articles from low-grade leftist sources like Salon, HuffPost, "SheKnows", etc. They clearly scoured the web for sources that were far-left enough for them. So I was glad when Yahoo brought back the ability to comment on articles (during the Trump years they disabled comments on propaganda articles where dissent was not allowed). But then I was permanently censored without warning or explanation after posting an article comment that did not violate user policies but went against their politics. They also deleted my comment history. If you're not a paying customer, which I now refuse to be, they provide no support or means of contacting them to complain.
Furthermore I have seen other reviews written by users whose email accounts were suddenly deleted without warning so I've begun transferring important emails and accounts to another address.
If you have an account at Yahoo, know that you are in the hands of immature, vindictive people who don't care about you. Do not keep important emails here or use this account as a login elsewhere. You never know when it will go away and you won't be able to access your other accounts. Yahoo offers large mailboxes, even to non-paying customers, but it can all suddenly disappear if they decide they don't like you.

Yahoo censorship
July 11, 2024

I recently wrote a review on Yahoo and in no way should it have violated any guidelines. I have been a Yahoo fan for a long time but I am extremely disappointed and irritated that they are politically censoring comments which is in violation of free speech. This is very disturbing and is in line with the political environment and limiting what we can say. I want to bring attention to this issue to let people know that Yahoo is slanted biased and political and limiting free speech. I hope that a lawsuit is brought against them in the near future to put them in check and stop their censorship if it does not conform with their political views.

Doesn't work
June 25, 2024

I normally don't use a search engine for shopping except on rare occasions. But for some reason, my default search engine was shifted to Yahoo rather than Google, even though I never told it to do this. And when it did work, it only gave shopping sites when it was clear my search wasn't asking for this.

Yahoo Hard Up for $5?
January 15, 2024

I have been getting charged $5/month for an ex-employee account and Yahoo refuses to delete it. The person who's email it is has changed billing a year ago so Yahoo! Is double dipping. A phone conversation with a foreigner hard to understand resulted in 'file a complaint' with your card after they validated the account being paid also by owner of account. Dumping my yahoo account too.

Yahoo is clearly doing all it can to get Trump re-elected. It seems the closer we get to the November election, the more frequently Yahoo rejects negative comments about Trump - even when the comments state Trump quotes. Boycott Yahoo!

For over 20 years Yahoo has been my home page. However, Every single article is written in slander towards Republicans and Trump. Yahoo has become a democratic Party marketing machine. I cannot trust what I read and could care less to read it because it is all from a position of scorn and hateful. Yahoo has lost all credibility as an independent news source in my eyes. I feel like I am reading news articles written by 22 year old impressionable liberal arts college students. Blatantly Biased and oblivious to the fact at how shallow and easy it is to see.

Unless I wanted to lose my faith in humanity, I would not visit yahoo.com under any circumstance, including the threat of my d being ripped clean off. It's yet another boomer echo chamber that allows death threats but not dissenting thought, as is the boomer way.

Never subscribe to any service or give your card details to Yahoo. Yahoo charges without permission.
They charge me $380.00 yearly for service without any notification before taking the money. It was a free trial, and a message should be sent before charging me the yearly fee, which I was unaware of.

Left leaning
February 28, 2024

Have had a Yahoo account for decades and have to admit, they've went so far left it's almost impossible to read their articles. At what point did the media become so far left that they cant even post unbiased articles? If you want to read non stop Republican Conservative bashing then this is the outlet for you, but be advised you post anything questioning their integrity be ready to be blocked.
