Yahoo Reviews Summary

The overall reputation of the company reflects significant dissatisfaction among customers, primarily driven by concerns over perceived political bias in content and inadequate customer support. Many users express frustration regarding account management issues, including unexpected charges and difficulties accessing accounts, which they feel are symptomatic of poor service. Conversely, some reviews highlight the platform's ability to facilitate user comments, suggesting a commitment to free speech. However, the overwhelming sentiment indicates a decline in trust and credibility, with calls for greater accountability and transparency in both content and customer service practices.

Full of Fake news
September 12, 2020

Since they took comments you don't have no say to defend yourself. All anti-Trump, fake polls. If they don't like Trump fine but stop lying or go find yourself another country to live.

One sided news

Remember the days when news reports spoke the truth and wasn't biased to one side or another? Yoo-hoo is not one of them.

Horrible content collation, non-news news, badly written... the only redeeming feature used to be the Comments section where people could have interesting discussions... which has now been removed "to create a safe environment." Really?... you mean like Putin's Russia is a 'safe environment' where no one is allowed to express their opinions? Yahoo, your thinly disguised move to remove the Comments sections is as unAmerican as it gets... wondering if this was purely due to political reasons? Yahoo should consider moving to Russia or China where their substandard news reporting and absolute banning of citizens comments / opinions would be rewarded as 'patriotic'.

Yahoo has removed their comments section why? So that normal Americans cannot comment & challenge their slanted, biased, & marxist leaning stories. Their comments will of course return back on November 4th. They are simply trying to slant the election towards the hapless Joe Biden & the Democrats. They attack EVERYTHING Conservative. Everything that is good for America. Yahoo attacks everything to radically change America that is already the most desirable country in the world... into something like Cuba? Russia?... they want to wreck America. Why?

Presto Plumbing
August 31, 2020

We rent a home from JWB. And of course at times things will fall apart. Mostly it's the tenants responsibility for everything. At this time a fossett handle completely crumbled and fell apart in my hand. Well, 1973 it was bound to happen LOL. After contacting JWB that we have no Fossett. 3 weeks later Presto Plumbing arrange to come out. The call was rushed threw very short and unprofessional. I guess that would of gave me my first impression of this company. So I guess I'm not surprised that they were here for 5 min to replace a faucet and Woody had left me an absolute mess to clean up. Later I received a bill for a no show $65. That was more than the price of the cheap fossett they put in. No hesitation I confronted Britney at Presto Plumbing and again was addressed with there unprofessionalism and fast acting replies. Britney showed no courteous action to her words but to for me to address it with somebody else. Britney had billed me for a no-show. When in fact my nephew and sister were home. And my nephew is the one that answered the door. But it has came to my attention for Presto Plumbing that the tenant has to be there. So instead of contacting me or letting me know. I was billed for a no-show when in fact somebody was there. In these presidential times that we live in with this epidemic throughout the world it is sad that people have to act in an inhumane manner. They are quick to react without knowing all the content working in a unprofessional manner regardless of communication. This is my experience I hope yours is better. And doesn't end up with them hanging up on you like I was.

In my opinion Yahoo news is a politically biased news forum. In my experience you will not get honest, bias free "news" here. Just an obviously Democrat biased political opinion. In my opinion, since the reporting is so biased I have to give them a poor or below par rating. Not only that, but now they have disabled their comments so you no longer see all the people who disagreed with their reporting. My advice is to try and find an news outlet that is evenly balanced, or one that simply reports the news without taking a political side.

Worst service ever
August 27, 2020

I cannot access an email I HAVE THE PASSWORD TOO. The website requires I login to a verification email that I no longer have the password too. It was my only security option at the time, so I'm $#*! out of luck with accessing that email. I purchased 24/7 customer support to speak with a representative and instead spoke with an autobot for 5 minutes who then put me on a hold for over an hour. I will be cancelling this "service" immediately, as it's a pathetic excuse for one.

By canceling their opinion board, Yahoo proved to be a fake news media. Only in communism, people are not allowed to criticize false reports.

Yahoo censorship got so bad that they even pulled the comment section from the news articles. This was done so that no opposing views could get in the way of their propaganda. I am going to be changing my email and homepage very soon. They want just left money and points of view then so be it.

I used to use Yahoo for everything. But most recently Yahoo has been turning it to radical left or extremist right. To cause chaos on both side. Then they wonder why everything is getting so toxic. But most recently they have decided suppression of freedom of speech is the best option. They were also only giving 1/4 of the info or editing videos to only tell one side of the story not both sides to cause chaos. What's even funnier yet is they would plagiarize and then delete the article. After People corrected them and then recited the sources. So people took it to the comments to help cancel out the spread of misinformation. So they disabled the comments so they wouldn't be corrected. Which is extremely saddening that they chose suppression over fixing themselves.

What is also bad is yahoo ads. They are also making ads that look like articles and making it so elderly people can't distinguish what is an ad and what is it real article. What they do is but is they write ad in tiny text making it hard for them to know its an ad. Once the person clicks on the ad it takes them to a somewhat shady site which has those ads that go to virus or to a scammer. They are even adding ads to peoples emails to get them to click on them. I am not talking about the ad on the side they have ads within the emails the kind of looks like a real email. Ever since Verizon took over it's been really going down. I recommend using gmail or outlook. Do not switch to AOL it is also owned by Verizon...

Yahoo mail is full of ads that you have to pay in order for them to be removed. They 15 mb caps on attachments which is very small compared to competitors email platforms and there news is left leaning as hell! Articles that have not been fact checked, headlines that are crazy misleading and editing seems as though it is a thing of the past. Flipboard or the Onion would be my recommendtion.

My title portrays the body of my review. That is not common with Yahoo news headlines. Your far left, liberal (I am a little left myself) stance is insane. It would be nice to see actual unbiased reporting of the news. It's called journalism, you should try it.

Years ago (before Trump) Yahoo! Was the news go-to of choice. It all started to get weird when Bruce Jenner decided to change his gender. Something much darker and more insidious than just trivial and propagandistic news began as users were banned for sharing any thoughts the Yahoo! Police deemed dangerous to their agenda.

I visited the site today and was appalled to see how disgusting it has become. It's like an open sewer of filth from an intellectual standpoint. The news is 100% biased against President Trump. Not 99 -- 100.

How it can exist without being banned by the same social media engines and platforms that supposedly forbid fake news and hate speech is clear proof of the underlying agreement amongst the Masters of the Universe to wage war on the human species and as an extension -- the US Constitution and everything our country stands for.

At a minimum, Yahoo!'s website should be classified as pornography. But, a much safer decision would be to flag Yahoo! As a malicious website that users should agree to proceed at their own risk to enter. A better decision would be to take down the site entirely, but I believe in the first amendment.
