Yahoo! Offensive email ads
February 28, 2025

Yahoo forces you to subscribe to their premium email service by bombarding my email account with offensive advertising. They give you no other option to stop this practice!

Authoritarian
September 28, 2024

The Yahoo news page links garbage news articles from low-grade leftist sources like Salon, HuffPost, "SheKnows", etc. They clearly scoured the web for sources that were far-left enough for them. So I was glad when Yahoo brought back the ability to comment on articles (during the Trump years they disabled comments on propaganda articles where dissent was not allowed). But then I was permanently censored without warning or explanation after posting an article comment that did not violate user policies but went against their politics. They also deleted my comment history. If you're not a paying customer, which I now refuse to be, they provide no support or means of contacting them to complain.
Furthermore I have seen other reviews written by users whose email accounts were suddenly deleted without warning so I've begun transferring important emails and accounts to another address.
If you have an account at Yahoo, know that you are in the hands of immature, vindictive people who don't care about you. Do not keep important emails here or use this account as a login elsewhere. You never know when it will go away and you won't be able to access your other accounts. Yahoo offers large mailboxes, even to non-paying customers, but it can all suddenly disappear if they decide they don't like you.

Yahoo censorship
July 11, 2024

I recently wrote a review on Yahoo and in no way should it have violated any guidelines. I have been a Yahoo fan for a long time but I am extremely disappointed and irritated that they are politically censoring comments which is in violation of free speech. This is very disturbing and is in line with the political environment and limiting what we can say. I want to bring attention to this issue to let people know that Yahoo is slanted biased and political and limiting free speech. I hope that a lawsuit is brought against them in the near future to put them in check and stop their censorship if it does not conform with their political views.

Doesn't work
June 25, 2024

I normally don't use a search engine for shopping except on rare occasions. But for some reason, my default search engine was shifted to Yahoo rather than Google, even though I never told it to do this. And when it did work, it only gave shopping sites when it was clear my search wasn't asking for this.

Boycott Yahoo Until They Stop Censorship
June 9, 2024

Yahoo is clearly doing all it can to get Trump re-elected. It seems the closer we get to the November election, the more frequently Yahoo rejects negative comments about Trump - even when the comments state Trump quotes. Boycott Yahoo!

Left leaning
February 28, 2024

Have had a Yahoo account for decades and have to admit, they've went so far left it's almost impossible to read their articles. At what point did the media become so far left that they cant even post unbiased articles? If you want to read non stop Republican Conservative bashing then this is the outlet for you, but be advised you post anything questioning their integrity be ready to be blocked.

Yahoo currently has a practice of taking articles from previously published sources and putting those articles on its site. Reports indicate that Yahoo does not pay the author or the publication - the original source. I responded to an article, on Yahoo's news site, from Politico, titled "Donald Trump has a big problem ahead". Since Yahoo has banned some of my opinions (with me intentionally omitting any troublesome/questionable words), I decided to post:

""The question of Trump's corruption should be front and center" (The Washington Post, Jan 20,2024);"Trump's Corruption Unbound" (The Atlantic, Dec. 5,2023);"A Grim Chronicle of Trump's Corrupt Public Life" (The Nation, Aug. 15,2023);"Trump's Sinkhole of Sleaze (The Chicago Tribune, Agug. 8,2018);"Trump's fraudulent financial statements were key to getting loans, former bank official says" (PBS, Oct. 11,2023);"Donald Trump's Ghostwriter Tells All: The Art of the Deal" made America see Trump as a charmer with an unfailing knack for business. Tony Schwartz helped create that myth—and regrets it." (The New Yorker, Jul. 18,2016);"How Mark Burnett Resurrected Donald Trump as an Icon of American Success With "The Apprentice" (The New Yorker, Dec. 27,2018);"Trump, MAGA and the insidious underbelly of white supremacy in America" (The Hill, Nov. 28,2023);"Donald Trump's long history of enabling white supremacy, explained" (Vox, Nov. 29,2018);"'He tells me he didn't know': Trump defends Kim Jong Un over death of Otto Warm"Trump Shrugs Off Khashoggi Killing by Ally Saudi Arabia" (The NY Times, Jun. 23,2019);"'He tells me he didn't know': Trump defends Kim Jong Un over death of Otto Warmbier" (Washington Post, Feb. 28,2019). "And 300 pages of search results regarding Trump's malevolence, disregard of the law, belief in his immunity, his public support of Putin, Jong-un, & other despotic leaders, upcoming criminal/civil court cases, & much more."

All citations were from mainstream media - yet the post was banned. The email from Yahoo stated my post was rejected for "not following community guidelines". Yahoo doesn't follow community guidelines, which includes Yahoo's scores of posts highlighting famous/semi-famous celebs, & unknown females in scantily clad outfits or less. Censorship without explanation!

Yahoo Hard Up for $5?
January 15, 2024

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.

Fraudulent charge. 0 rating
November 2, 2023

Never subscribe to any service or give your card details to Yahoo. Yahoo charges without permission.
They charge me $380.00 yearly for service without any notification before taking the money. It was a free trial, and a message should be sent before charging me the yearly fee, which I was unaware of.

Site operated and occupied by hateful, old folks

Unless I wanted to lose my faith in humanity, I would not visit yahoo.com under any circumstance, including the threat of my d being ripped clean off. It's yet another boomer echo chamber that allows death threats but not dissenting thought, as is the boomer way.

So I know my email and password I've had it since I was 18 im now 31! When I go to log in it's asking for a recovery code ti be sent to my number I don't have anymore. I call customer service and they tell me their may be a charge. When I tell them well I don't have any money in my card they tell me to call back in a few days ( basically when I have money in my card) and they ask to scan my id which I did and clearly stated proves it's me! Oh btw I've called 3 times they all have attitudes! I'm pissed I have everything connected to that email and now I can't get in and seeing other reviews now I know I'm not the only one with these issues. When I googled yahoo reviews it shows that yahoo as of recently has increased with bad customer service reviews. Now I'm very certain their doing this to everyone to get moneyyyyyyyy! F*cking pieces of $#*!! Their all Indian btw and we all know if an Indian answers a customer service line it's a freaking scammmmmmmmm! I wish I could see them face to face to put my hands on them! Lucky their miles away from me. Count your days yahoo customer service workers! Give me my sh****ttt back cause I promise you, you don't want these problems!

Once upon time
October 5, 2023

Yahoo was once upon time a before a great platform for fairness, quality content and the subscribers always had a chance to respond to comments displayed, thats is all in the history pass, yahoo today is a platform that promotes ( allow third parties) hate and they place themselves with the radical left nobody interesting to follow! Its obviously they lost their credibility and become a tool for the radical left and extremism! Elon Musk should buy you out and through out the radical lefties that thinks imposing their doctrine is normal for normal people, shame on you! There will be a day we will have the yahoo without the radical left third parties news, you should be prosecuted for allowing only these radical left to add their criminal news and lies

DL Shutters owner Kevin will promise you the world and deliver nothing on time or live up to his promises to right his wrongs. He installed subquality shutters in my upstairs bedrooms. Promised to replace and refund $3000.00 by 06.03.23. He did neither. He was filled with promises, excuses and delays. Never do business with DL Shutters. He has failed to deliver on any promises. And I paid in cash and on time. Shame on you Kevin

Crunch Gym, Hiram, PAULDING COUNTY, Georgia 30141
September 29, 2023

I don't recommend Crunch Gym. This is the perfect "clever schemes" fitness center. Make sure you read the contract on the computer before you sign or initial anything.

They will tell you that you will get an email copy of the contract, but know that email copy is AFTER you have already signed the contract.
You will have to stand your ground to get your contract cancelled and you will have to take an entire morning out of your busy schedule to get this done. It is not an easy task, especially if you sign a contract for coaching.

I tried to cancel my personal training contract with Haley Cole within three days after it was first signed and emailed because there was a discrepancy on the contract and what I was told. What I was told was not even on the paperwork regarding how much I was going to pay and for how long. The request for cancellation was rejected, my questions regarding what was on the contract and what was actually told to me was never answered or resolved. Haley blew me off. TK ignored my cancellation request that I personally handed to him; nor did he act on it. TK, the manager of the Hiram, GA Crunch Gym did nothing with the cancellation request.

When I finally walked in to cancel my contract with Haley on September 27,2023, I had to insist she pull up the form to cancel the contract. When I asked to read it before I signed it, Haley responded that she would email it to me. I responded by you're emailing it to me after I sign it.

She rudely turned the computer screen where I could read the cancellation notice and she was charging my credit card for eight more coaching sessions/services that I wii NOT use. Haley justifies it was because the contract was not cancelled within 10-days of the billing cycle period. But unknown to me at the time, the billing cycle is set up so that there is NOT a 10-day window to fulfill what I was told by Haley. Therefore, my cancellation is not effective until October 9,2023 instead of the day I requested and signed the cancellation form, September 27,2023. My credit card will be charged for services not used.

Second problem I had. I told Haley before the contract that I was going out of the country and not to schedule me for training the week of September 16-22,2023. Haley went ahead and scheduled me anyway three week before the scheduled trip. When I addressed it with her, she gave me no explanation except to say oh we can reschedule for another time. When I returned, I had to cancel my second week because I was sick. Another week that I'm paying for that I'm not receiving services.

When I asked for a refund, I was told that it would be considered credit for used in the future. I would not get a refund. Then when I looked at my cancellation paperwork form, Haley Cole marked that I did not ask for a refund.

Finally, my coaching contract was set up for two 30-minutes session each week. However, without changing the contract, Haley, on her own, changes my sessions to one-hour session a week.

So biased and not trust worthy
September 28, 2023

For over 20 years Yahoo has been my home page. However, Every single article is written in slander towards Republicans and Trump. Yahoo has become a democratic Party marketing machine. I cannot trust what I read and could care less to read it because it is all from a position of scorn and hateful. Yahoo has lost all credibility as an independent news source in my eyes. I feel like I am reading news articles written by 22 year old impressionable liberal arts college students. Blatantly Biased and oblivious to the fact at how shallow and easy it is to see.
