I have been using Yahoo mail since 2001, and have grown increasingly frustrated with it.
-Their sign in seals only worked once or twice and I finally gave up on those.
-A few years ago they kept prompting me to upgrade to the newer version/format.
I resisted each & every time, so it finally said that 'I was now being switched over' to that anyway!
Uh - excuse me - but why give me an option in the first place, just to ignore my choice if it isn't the one you were hoping I'd choose?
The option to resort back to the older classic Yahoo
was available, but very well hidden.
When contacted, they resisted in letting me know where & how to choose that option to go back.
-Then my default browser got switched to 'Yahoo Search', without me knowing and I had a hell of a time getting that to go away.
-Their articles are mostly Pro-Women/Anti-Men 90% of the time, which is incredibly biased & unfair, consistently portraying 'Men Bad - who ruined & destroy everything'! while 'Women Good - who fix all things & make everything right again'!
Most of time it's 'Men are cheaters', even though studies now show the cheating rate of women is equal to and is anticipated to surpass that of men.
I guess Yahoo hasn't seen those statistics yet - or they simple refuse to for their own purposes.
-The titles of those articles use the power of suggestion to consistently make their point so you don't even have to read them to have that stuck in your craw!
-They've been prompting for a few months now to set up my public profile, which I don't want.
So now, if I go to sign out and mis-click or don't wait long enough, it automatically goes to my profile - remember the one I didn't want to set up? Except now I have to wait for that page to switch & load, only to sign out.
-Lately now, in addition to relentless ads, & slow loading times, they're throwing surveys as pop-ups at us.
I refuse to ever give even a single cent to any paid options, service or version of this 'new Nazi party' and their slimey tricks, that have nothing to do with their users choices!
Edit: No sooner do I finish this post, and there it is yet again - another post about cheating men and what one particular woman did about it as 'pay back'.
And yet if a man did anything even remotely close to that, he'd be wearing his nackers like earrings before long!
Go Yahoo Go!
Good Grief!!!!!!!!!!!
That's it - I'm finding a new email tonight! Clearly I'm even more cheesed than the OP.
Boy do I have trigger points & issues with Yahoo or what???????????????
