“Yahoo... Verizon's Big Mistake”

Dr J.
1/28/24

Yahoo was cool in the dial-up generation of the internet. Then stupid Verizon purchased the platform with dreams of being like Google. Boy Oh Boy...that an expensive mistake.

“Yahoo Hard Up for $5?”

Anne E.
1/15/24

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 News is a complete disaster. I do not recommend reading their news articles. I'm not sure why it's published in the first place. Another concern is Yahoo Mail. Their spam filter is horrible, and delivery delays occur more frequently than with other email companies.

You must be a scam place. I ordered some T-Shirts from you and have not received them yet and you charged me. I want my money back and I am going to turn you in as a scam taking money from people.

Yahoo is a fairly decent website business, but the design is outdated compared to other websites like Google or Bing. The news content is scraped from other websites and the search engine is powered by bing. For example, the site packs too many ads in its search results and email service. Additionally, there isn't any reason to use yahoo when there are better alternatives out there. Maybe I don't like it because I'm 15 years old, so I'm not really part of their userbase.

Tip for consumers:

Amazon does not report purchases to my bank on a one-by-one basis, but lumps purchases together. This makes it hard to verify receipts for each item. We started an excel spreadsheet to compare purchases with bank statements in order to verify we are not being falsely charged for items. We just shouldn't have to do this. Amazon could issue weekly or monthly itemized summaries we can compare with bank statements. They need to start doing this. We buy so many things through Amazon Prime, so we expect better accountability.

Tip for consumers:
Be careful not to buy more than one product per day.

Yahoo News is just terrible. I do not recommend reading their news articles. I am not even sure why it even gets published. Yahoo Mail is another issue. Their spam filter is terrible and sometimes there are delivery delays which are more common than other email providers. Yahoo Business is an okay service but overpriced.

In my opinion, Yahoo is only good for their email service. That's about it. The other services you can live without. You can find better alternatives for them.

Tip for consumers:
Yahoo Mail is okay, their other services are terrible.

We recently went there to celebrate an anniversary. There were 8 of us. The food was good and the scenery was beautiful. Our Major complaint were the old chairs. My hubby has a terrible back and suffered 2 days afterward. All the padding from the middle of the seats were missing! We traded chairs etc. No luck. Also, our waitress forgot a drink order for one of our party, by the time it was served it was watered down due to the ice melting. We did not complain because the waitress was running and doing the best she could. The food was very good, and prices were fair. I would only go back if they got new chairs.

They had a good thing going before google, the reason i feel they went out is because they just planned on being successful forever. If you don't have a backup plan you should not have a business!

Not a bad place for a round of golf. Very challenging course with friendly staff. Green's and fairway tend to be in pretty good shape the majority of the time however the cart path's need a good deal of work as they are not in good shape. I can recommend the course for an occasional round of golf but not for seasonal membership if you want to golf at least to the end of the fall as they close way too early around December 5th. I had been told they stay open at least until the challenging winter weather comes but thats apparently not the case. Fortunately there are many other golf courses that will remain open as long as the weather permits.

I received a response from yahoo on a comment I made and was rejected. Of course, Yahoo doesn't give details as to what was said out of character. Here is the comment that was sent:

Your comment on Mo'Nique Under Fire For Posting A Woman's Airport Outfit On Instagram: "If This Is Not Your Best Then Do Better!" has been rejected as it contains content that is in breach of our community guidelines.

My comment: 1st of all, a penny for your thoughts. Depending on the age range of the comments will determine basically the person who are sending the hateful messages where their mindset it at. Words from Jack Nicholson in A FEW GOOD MEN, "YOU can't handle the TRUTH! Ms. Mo'Nique HAS spoken the TRUTH on both comments she has said! Some of YOU know that what Ms. Mo'Nique has said is what YOU have been THINKING all along! What I can't understand is that she didn't say ANYTHING out the way, just TOLD the TRUTH and she is blackballed. The flip side RAPPERS, MEN, WOMEN, YOUNG TEENAGERS (male &female) go around degrading one another and saying WORST names than what Ms. Mo'Nique has said, so WHERE'S the OUTCRY about that! The POT(S) shouldn't be calling the KETTLE black!

I ask others do anyone see where there was something said out the way?

I must say I used to love yahoo in the beginning when they had messenger and all the goods but now, it is just a bunch of news. It started to becoming boring. If you don't have to have yahoo, then don't.

I've never met anyone who *hasn't* been hacked if they had a Yahoo account... unless they were protected with Multifactor Authentication. It's a simple option under account security.

Something to keep in mind (just like gmail) if you run your email through a search engine company it's going to be scanned.

Watching her cook and it's seems she thinks that "everyone is going to go crazy over the food she cooks". I've watched several of her shows and she says this alot and I haven't seen anyone go crazy yet.

Having tried to post a comment many times, they never get posted even though everything in the process seems OK. I suspect Yahoo only allows selected people to comment. How sad. Also, they are partly funded by Wells Fargo. I'll never trust Yahoo again.

I like using Yahoo, but dislike that they banned my old account without proper reason...
They were not willing to assist in helping me recover that account.

Yahoo used to be my "go -to" site before I left for CNN. Yahoo is ok in terms of providing a mix of political/current event topics with celebrity gossip. I don't check in as often anymore which is not a reflection of the site, my preferences have simply changed.

Yahoo email has being my "email for years" but I don't know why I get so many spam, I don't even know why I find myself subscribe to those site that I don't even know. For a reason a spam folder was created. Now we need no spam at all. It will be awesome... Who mail's owner wants so many emails from people we don't know, and services we don't need, or people we don't want to meet. I don't know... it is frustrating sometimes.

Next to google the second top most search engine used by most of the people in the world is Yahoo. Yes both google annd yahoo are both ends as far as I knew. Yes, if the google is best in giving the search results for the unknown concepts in forms of deffinitions, acronyms etc., yahoo is at its best in covering the world news and also it is first place in updating the current events of the world frequently.

Yahoo used to be the best site on the internet. Easy to use, the email was really easy to use. Now I find that the email is much more difficult and can act funny at times. The Home page is not news it is 75% just gossip stuff. What has happened? I really wish we could go back in time 2 years and have the old yahoo back.
