Yahoo! unsolicited yahoo malware

Please stop hijacking my PC, I had nothing against Yahoo until you boneheads decided it would be a good idea to constantly crash a party you were not invited to. I am sick of having to clean up my PC to get the uninvited unwanted yahoo (or yahoo's) off my pc. Pissing people off is not a great way to increase market share.

Are you looking for another class action suit?

Do it again and I'll see what I can do.

Yahoo! horoscope on news front page, please remove

After many years I no longer use Yahoo News or Homepage because the Horoscope on my IPad keeps popping up and flashing. Horoscopes are based on ignorance and superstition and you forcing people to look at it is disgusting and annoying. The constellations have changed since they were created and it sheer ignorance. It is also offensive to religious people. Who ever created the Yahoo News Home page is an ignorant [censored]. I am glad I switched to CNN

Yahoo! yahoo news

I am well aware that Yahoo mail is a free service, and therefore ad placements and clicks are vital to the business running, and supposedly to tailor to needs (at least to catch the interest of passing attention.
However when I went to check my mail this evening (without clicking on anything), I was forced with the graphic headline 'Man forced mother to listen to children being raped'. Now I know yahoo are not responsible for how someone emotionally reacts to distressing news.
I had no intention of reading the news, and didn't click on the article. The content in the title was overtly graphic and distressing especially to a mother, and frankly rather than drawing me into clicking, was very upsetting. It's unnecessary, unethical and irresponsible to reveal such content, to someone who wasn't going to and didn't try to read the article. In these times, it seems that clicks matter more than the understanding that there are individuals in front of the computer.

Yahoo! yahoo account

Yahoo is trash. Every time I respond to an article which is contrary to other peoples opinion Yahoo tells me something happened because they don't want people to see what I wrote. You are censoring my email responses. I want to complain about your censorship which is freedom of speech. This happens every time I reply to an email Yahoo doesn't agree with. No more censorship from Yahoo or Verizon who owns you. BTW, no profanity has ever been used in these email responses.

Yahoo! I used to be able to share items with a small yahoo inset..

With a small yahoo inset.. Now they are a big purple mess and I wont do it anymore.. No matter how much I want to put your messages on facebook I will not share them like this.. Your brand is bigger than what I want to include.. Maybe I need to find a different web browser although if you check my history I have been loyal to yahoo for many, many years.

Yahoo! photo by advertiser

Recently saw photo of dog/coyote/wold running IN FLAMES just by scrolling down line of images in news feed. This was traumatic for me and appears in dreams as well as waking moments. I never clicked on the advertiser.
It was a site which promised "photos taken at just the right time". Yahoo needs to control material from advertisers better, at least on the cover page. Not prepared to search it out again, validating the site, in order to better describe it here.

Yahoo! England

Hello I just want to make you aware of how boring you are making the website for yahoo news. The world is a pretty big place and yet you have covered nonstop the kardashians when no-body wants to know them in the uk. Please research more I have had enough of the man world syndrome of women, women, women. It is offensive. Look at your webpage...! Asap... Become real journalist again with real stories that matter... We do not care for the kkkkkkk... What ever they do or say. All you do is fill money into the pockets for them. Talk about the environment, animal welfare... Real lives matter... Not fake gossip... Please please stop the nonsense. Its mind boggling how boring you are.

Yahoo! yahoo small business

I loaned my credit card to my friend for a one time charge for yahoo small business account and it turned out to be recurring and my friend lost all information about their account. My credit card was charged until I put a hold on it..the hold ran out and once again yahoo small business started charging my card.
There is almost no way to contact yahoo small business unless you call their number to apply for a yahoo small business account...absolutely no way to contact them otherwise. So, I posed as a prospective new business customer just to be able to talk to someone in order to cancel the recurring payment and try to get a refund.
They cancelled the recurring payment, hopefully, today but they said they're going to keep the 70 dollar because "it's not fraud".
I just want to warn everyone that Yahoo Small Business is shady, don't know what customer service is, and are basically unethical, immoral and thieves.

Yahoo! advertised in the side panel pop up of email.

This advert was very misleading and although not a scam missold me goods I did not want. i tried to contact them as soon as the incorrect transaction went through although they promise 24/7 enquiries. It took me 3 hours. I believe they will refund me but it will take up to 5 days.Iin future I will keep the right hand panel closed as because it was on your site I believed it could be trusted. I hope they are honourable.
Time of transaction 0937 gmt 28/10/2019
Time of agreement not to process order 1300 gmt. 28/10/2019
My complaint is with Yahoo for constantly popping up this Ad.

Yahoo! opinion moderators

Why are Yahoo moderators systematically censor and refuse to publish my replies ?
For instance on Friday October 25th I was reading the article "Mike Pence accuses NBA of acting like a 'subsidiary' of Beijing and takes aim at Nike for silence on Hong Kong "
In the opinion part following the article I was reading the following post of a Chinese citizen :
Ting: 8hours ago :neither will China allow NBA to force China to accept Morey's speech.

To this post I replied:
@ Ting
China doesn't have to allow anyone living outside China for free speech ! in a Democracy people are free to say what they think even to criticize their own governments and leaders ! the free Morey's speech about Hong Kong was on TWITTER which is blocked by Chinese authorities in mainland China ! SO HOW COME THIS TWEET BECAME A BIG DEAL IN CHINA ? CHINESE CANNOT DECIDE WHAT CAN BE SAID OR NOT SAID OUTSIDE MAINLAND CHINA ! NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS !

WHY IS MY REPLY NOT BEEN PUBLISHED?IT IS IN NO WAY OFFENSIVE OR DIREPECTFULL !? ARE WE LIVING IN A DEMOCRACY OR IS YAHOO POLICY SUPPORTING CHINESE DICTATORSHIP?

Yahoo! domains

The last two months I've gotten multiple emails supposedly from Yahoo claiming they attempted to charge my credit card for my domains that were due for renewal. But that the card on my account expired and that I needed to resolve this immediately before I lost my domains.

Well, Yahoo has not been in charge of my domains for a year and a half because I switched over to Go Daddy then. I even renewed the domains with Godaddy several months ago. I have the confirmations and Go Daddy has verified it sufficiently when I called and talked two 2 reps there this month.

When I have called Yahoo in response to their emails about trying to charge my card for this, I spoke to 2 different Indian- sounding people who threatened me with, "you must pay now" and etc. I told them they haven't been owners of my domains or hosting my services for 1.5 years, to which they insisted I was very wrong. Scam!

Yahoo! yahoo mail

As a business owner I email a lot of clients with Yahoo addresses. Since you have changed the settings my emails leave me but don't even make my clients spam folder so they don't know I have emailed them. I can't be the only business that's complained about Yahoo.
Many of my clients have switched to gmail to avoid missing important emails.
What's being done to resolve this yahoo?

Yahoo! yahoo news option on ipad

I used to quickly review the content of the Yahoo News icon option on my iPad. Now, I am so disgusted I may not ever intentionally connect again. Complaints?
- What and Why would you continually show the photo of men's Health or whatever with a man drinking out of a condom. I gag every time it shows and have disconnected from Yahoo each time I see it
- Why all the repeat "news", day after day
- Why all the overly Liberal news feeds
- Why all the UK news
I know you don't need my viewing, but this graphic, attention grabbing, inflammatory blurbs is really garbage, and you know it. I guess it's cheaper than real news reporting. I'm done connecting and reading or scanning this link to Yahoo
