This is surprising to anyone? It is a free service - the infrastructure doesn’t support itself, the revenue must come from somewhere. Anything that is free is worth what you paid for it. I can’t point a finger and say that it is wrong or that I disapprove. It’s just business.
Im not opposed to ads. I understand how the ‘free’ internet works.
Just not ready to be scanned without a care...
Not exactly free. I’ve been paying $10/year for extra storage on Yahoo Classic (no longer available) for a long time. The new, free Yahoo Mail is horrible: not user friendly and lacking features such as spell check and variable type styles and sizes.
Yahoo Classic, which they just discontinued, was quite acceptable.
