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.

This woman never should have chosen healthcare as a review. She's mean. She actually made me cry. If you smoke, stay away! Instead of suggesting tips for stopping, she berates you and treats you as if you are a pariah. None of your other issues matters.

Bummer
March 30, 2020

1. I trust that Yahoo will now stop spewing that anti-Trump venom and settle into a cozy relationship with Uncle Joe and his $#*!. You really gutted Trump; nary a kind word or attractive photo. But at least it will be an interesting forthcoming 4 years.

I am a registered democrat, didn't vote for Trump... This is the most left leaning, democratic propaganda machine out there... Lines right up with CNBC and CNN. This is most certainly NOT news. It is a machine to promote a one-sided OPINION... just awful

Bad doctor
February 10, 2020

I went to Island Doctors in Palm Coast, FL. And saw a Dr Martinez. She is the worst doctor ever. I am overweight and was having trouble with my knee. I had broken it several years earlier and had to have surgery. She said it was because I was overweight and I said No I fell off a bench. I told her I had lymphadema and she said iat was because I was overweight and I said No after the knee surgery I developed cellulitis and had this for a year and went to an infectious disease Dr In Indianapolis who taught at IU medical school. He said the cellulitis
Had developed into lymphadema. She paid no attention. My daughter was with me and she was laughing at me and she said I needed to take her to someone to find out why she was laughing. Needless to say she did not listen to me and I walked out without my knee taken care of. I walked in with my cart because it was hard for me to walk and asked her to sign an application for a handicapped plate, which I have had in Indiana for years. She refused to sign it. She is the worst of the worst. I walked out and thought I would never go back to her!

Don'y take my word for it. Read their news. I defy anyone to find one, yes one article that is critical of any liberal politician, any liberal idea or any article about any conservative politician that does not have a negative overtone or incorrect information. By any standard they are not news! Unemployment at its lowest in 50 years, low interest rates, lowest welfare participation in 50 years, trade agreements. What? Yahoo news has never heard of these topics. Must just be an oversite on their part.

The previous negative reviews of Yahoo are right on as the site is totally biased in favor of the Democrats in almost every so called "news" article on the site. There is even heavy bias in the comments section where you can add an animated GIF along with your comment. If you search the animated GIF library for President Trump, you'll find countless amounts of derogatory GIFs towards the president and none that support him, with nearly every GIF trying to make him look bad. While if you search the GIF library for any Democrat, you won't find any GIFs that makes them look bad, you'll find the opposite, every GIF tries to make them look good!

UPDATE: was called by third party today and was told if I got $500 gift card all money would be returned, yeah right!

Email was hacked. Had since 2001. Contacted yahoo, asked for money to verify account. Kept saying needed money but would get it back. Contacted Yahoo again and was told I was working with a legitimate third party yahoo company. They connected to my laptop, (my mistake) and are still connected, cannot get them off until I have professionally cleaned. Contacted by my bank to confirm authorized charges! No! Third party company suppose to be terminated by yahoo but yahoo wants $500 to investigate! Yah, right! Yahoo and affiliates are thieves! Have filed police report and FTC complaint and will continue to file complaints and ratings.

I like using Yahoo, but dislike that they banned my old account without proper reason...
They were not willing to assist in helping me recover that account.

Back in the old days in the early 2000's, I really loved Yahoo!'s search engine, Yahoo! Messenger, Yahooligans, and Yahoo! Chat rooms. Yahoo! Has degenerated into a left-wing nazism while its mail provider got increasingly worse after the 2000's. It even got increasingly hard to use Yahoo! Fully without a phone, especially when people are required to have a phone number before they can use a Yahoo! Email address. Phone numbers are required because the greedy psychos are wanting to violate people's privacy to exploit them for money. If you care about privacy because you care about ethics and morals and you care about high quality service, then stay away from the Yahoo! Business. The Yahoo! Business does not care about ethics, morals, quality service, and other things because it has sold its soul to the greedy con artist Verizon business. Verizon has been known for abusing its customers by doing con artistry. Customers dealt with irregular money charges in their accounts because Verizon fraudulently lies to its customers about how money Verizon charges on customers' account because Verizon is controlled by greedy psychopaths. So, I am not surprised Yahoo! Has stooped this low ethically and morally. All of these popular online websites are controlled by the bottom of the barrel when it comes to ethical quality and moral quality. Money is what Yahoo! Cares about at the expense of ethics and morals entirely.

I hate the new Yahoo mail set up, why change something that's not broken, the old style was much better and the adverts are a pain in the neck too and there is no way of turning them off. I think its time to look for a new email provider as Yahoo has completely ruined it now. Listen to your customers and revert back to the old way.

No help!
June 25, 2019

It's ridiculous that you have to pay to get help with your account and you cannot even email them. This is why barely anyone uses this crap email anymore. Can't even login so oh well. If there was free help not $4.99/mo just for one simple question maybe I would stick around. SMDH!

I've never met anyone who *hasn't* been hacked if they had a Yahoo account... unless they were protected with Multifactor Authentication. It's a simple option under account security.

Something to keep in mind (just like gmail) if you run your email through a search engine company it's going to be scanned.

Tired of Yahoo blatant bias against Republicans and TRUMP. Also I notice as you scroll down the promote stories that are actual ads. This site is garbage and on the same level as the National Inquirer

Worst of the worst
November 17, 2018

Their email client is known and has been proven to scan your emails for personal information to sell on to third parties, and has been doing so for years. If you want your personal data distributed to random and numerous third parties, and some faceless tech company/millennials making money from doing so, this is the site to use.
Bye bye

I must say I used to love yahoo in the beginning when they had messenger and all the goods but now, it is just a bunch of news. It started to becoming boring. If you don't have to have yahoo, then don't.
