8 of 25Yahoo News has turned its comment sections into open sewers. There’s no moderation, no civility, just mobs hurling insults like drunken hecklers. Either Yahoo is too incompetent to control it or too indifferent to care. In either case, it’s pathetic.
If you like non stop ads and occasional full page ads with lots of trackers this app is for you
Most Everything here is from biased outlets and writers. Nearly Nothing is neutral. Remove “news” and you would be accurate. More like Yahoo Tabloid
Stop it now!!!!
They totally screwed up the site with this format. Need to return to the classic format. Looking for another option that isn’t messed up like this
Comments now don’t seem same as on a webpage so if I get a reply now I can’t view it in the app - so had to delete the app. Didn’t seem worth it.
As bad as Google
