- joshstrange 5y agoI don't mean to sound crass but is this really a surprise to anyone? I mean Yahoo has been a "dead man walking" for a decade+ in my mind. What did they do successfully? After they lost the search game to Google they stopped doing anything of note (Yahoo Pipes was cool and Flickr I guess, 2 more projects they destroyed/killed off). I think Yahoo News was a thing but I've never heard someone mention it in real life, I assumed it was like the older population still using/paying for AOL. The writing has been on the wall for way before a private equality group bought them (which should have been a clear sign if somehow you were unaware it was dying). I'm shocked that employees there are "shocked".
- PaulHoule 5y agoThere is Yahoo Finance which still has the best free stock charts but has forums that are just choked with oldsters who want to get the government out of their Medicare.
- Apocryphon 5y agoYahoo! Finance and Fantasy Sports have always been their core competencies.
- PaulHoule 5y agoHasn't Yahoo been in a shocking state of disarray since 2003 or so?

- moistly 5y agoIn my mind, Yahoo! brings back recollections of disastrous management, erratic pushes into new services, and the trope of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
