Garbage out. Enjoy your 1.5tb of crap.

Somewhat outdated

For the last couple years I've been hitting their comics page daily, from there I'd sometimes go to finance and then regular news. Last month they nuked the comics page, and when I went to the finance page they had one of those annoying floating opaque ads that want you to click in them to make them go away. No thanks.

Haven't been to yahoo since. My reasons for going have been either A) removed; or B) made untrustworthy.

Icing on the cake? For about a week I kept trying to get the comics page, hoping it was a mistake. Then my google newsfeed told me that yahoo had deliberately deleted it. Not yahoo news, google news. Good job, yahoo.

Not going to be anonymous for long.
