Fuck Yahoo to the max for removing the comment section. I've had Yahoo as my homepage for years (just never changed it I guess), and the comment section would always call out bullshit and poorly written stories whenever they popped up.

In the best case, it might only be temporary, presumably until after the Cirque d'Amerique dies down.
The international news site of Yahoo suspended comments on July 23, 2020.
Many speculations started running around after Yahoo suspended comments on its site.
Some say that the feature was stopped because many people on the site used words that might disregard certain communities, feelings, and more.

However, a message by Yahoo news on their website reveals exactly why the website removed the comment section.
It reads: “Our goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions.
In order to improve our community experience, we are temporarily suspending article commenting.”

Yeah, I've read the statement where the comment section used to be. It's typical PR speak.

The types of comments there were pretty much just people giving their opinions. Not in edgy or offensive ways. Sometimes they were blunt, but they definitely weren't worth disabling the comment section over.

Now that there's not a direct source of dialog and responses from readers concerning published stories on Yahoo, it takes extra steps (which most people don't take) to know if a story is twisting words and facts or leaving out context altogether in order to push a narrative.

As long as they don't get rid of Yahoo Answers.

Also, something about that godzilla meme is really triggering my "satire is dead" senses.

As much as i hate to say this (especially since this is my first post on the forums), generally speaking, none of the mainstream media is trustworthy, and will blatantly lie to you, yahoo being one of the worst imo (like you, used to use yahoo as my homepage until i switched to a email account that didn't track me), i rarely saw a actual legitimately true news story on there, usually even the most normal story would have something trumped up (no pun intended), in the long run, left or right politically, it's best to look for alternative media sources, because i doubt yahoo's comment system will come back, it's politically inconvenient for it to do so.

Believe me, I'm aware. The reason I use Yahoo as my homepage is because that was the homepage when I got my first computer (a hand-me-down) and I haven't switched it since.

I'm actually considering changing it now since they've removed ordinary people from the discussion. I would have to say that reading the 'calling out on BS' comments was the one thing that actually made it worth keeping as a homepage for me. I do follow some more trustworthy alternative sources though (alternative as in not MSM).

Agreed. This was my reaction to the comment section's disappearance as well, I just didn't want to get into it too much in my initial post. And that's what annoys me the most: the fact that Yahoo has shut down the conversation so no one can call them out on their own site anymore.

Can't tell if your being serious or not, your political posts make it clear that your pretty heavily biased into a viewpoint that is far left of center, so MSM is fine for you (they literally tell you what you want to hear), if however your being serious, you have to search around when it comes to news aggragators, for example jumping from cnn to fox news for the same story is needed to get a clearer picture, both are biased but in the long run, unbiased news is hard to find, if your talking things like video news segments, a good one is tim pool on youtube, until a few months ago he would have voted democrat but that was before they lost all semblance of sanity, either way he doesn't cherry pick info, though he does push into politics a bit more than others, more importantly he's willing to have antifa and the like for a discussion on his livestream channel (he had a antifa member by the name of vaush on a couple of nights ago), , now to be clear, he's definitely more on the republican's side now, however this is more or less the riots fault as he's not in support of them, otherwise he's probably the most miquetoast fencesitting guy in alt media, which is why he's so popular, the fact that he even took a stance shows how insane the progressives have gotten lately as he's pretty left of center economically.

Now i tell it like i see it and i fully expect you to call him a person on the right etc(your disdain for the right seems to border on fanatical to the point you even hate centrists), but you asked for one who will actually tell you the truth.
Personally i'm not a big fan of tim pool myself, but he's as close to a centrist as you can get in these insane times of 2020, hence why i watch him still, i don't want to be biased on either side of the isle when it comes to news.

There are others i watch that are a bit right of center but i have no intention of telling anyone on the left about them, since they've been flagged before just because they don't go along with the narrative and i'm gonna be honest, i don't trust you with how your political stance is to not dox them, nothing personal about the things i've said about you, but i know how the communist left of 2020 operates, seen it happen way too many times.

Oh and i won't reply to you again, not really my intention to talk politics on here in general, but i had to put my 2 cents in about yahoo especially.
