What is ‘persistent opt-out’?
I am not sure what you are opting out of.
Various controls and settings are listed under the settings icon — between your Hi, Yourname and the house icon.

Yahoo to Users: Let Us Read Your Emails or — Goodbye!
May 30, 2013
NEW YORK - As of June 1, all Yahoo email users are required to upgrade to the company’s newest platform, which allows Yahoo to scan and analyze every email they write or receive. According to Yahoo’s help page, all users who make the transition agree to let the company perform “content scanning and analyzing of your communications content” to target ads, offer products, and perform “abuse protection.”
This means any message that Yahoo’s algorithms find disturbing could flag a user as a bully, a threat, or worse. At the same time, Yahoo can now openly troll through email for personal information that it can share or hold onto indefinitely.

It's amazing the intensity and self importance of the immature of all ages.
They ignore the question to demonstrate how much more clever they are.
Lost on them is the certainty that they are also demonstrating their ignorance.
I have had a Yahoo account since 1997 and I remember the opt out thing. But I am on my phone and don’t have it. Yahoo is my domain provider, too. During the Russian spam attack I had 10,000 emails in my spam folder and hundreds that got past the filter. If you don’t want ads, clear your cache and coolies and flash folders regularly. I’ll send you the links for that tomorrow if things go well.
