Appolo must need a tax write off. No one in their right mind would pay that kind of money for those 2 dogs.

I am shocked to see that much value in Yahoo or AOL.

I continue to use my first email address I got from Pacific Bell (PacBell) many decades ago. It has gone through many corporate upheavals with SBCGlobal, AT&T, Yahoo!, Verizon and causes me untold pain keeping it running. But it still works.

Life comes at you fast. I’m old enough to remember when Yahoo and AOL were the 800-lb gorillas of the internet, as dominant relatively speaking as Google/Alphabet and Facebook are now. I still use yahoo daily for a mail account and stock quotes, vestiges of that earlier era.

weird...yesterday I got a notice from verizon about yahoo (or yahoo about verizon) explaining their privacy policy - which absolutely sux rocks. I turned everything off.

Drudge (I know, I know - still gotta see what the enemy is up to) is a big user of yahoo.

Yahoo! has disabled the comments to articles for several months to protect the “woke” snowflakes from dangerous ideas that conflict with their own (or the ones they’ve been brainwashed into believing).

Yet another shuffling of assets, and “rebranding”. $5 billion for both Yahoo and AOL. Somebody’s balance sheet has taken a loss ;-)

This has to be some sort of money laundering deal. With all the RATs now firmly in league with human traffickers expect more stupid seeming purchases.

Yahoo survives because between it and Goggle it was the lesser of two evils. Though they’ve been closing that gap, most notably when they turned their comments off before the election.

The Comments were the best part, there’s no reason to read the articles as they are full of useless propaganda.

I still have an AOL email address and have no plan to change.

Nobody is looking at AOL users as worth hacking!

A bunch of stupid people running Yahoo over the years...!

How did Yahoo! fall from $125 billion to $5 billion in 15 years?
https://www.zeebiz.com/companies/news-how-did-yahoo-fall-from-125-billion-to-5-billion-in-15-years-4200

Yahoo! had the opportunity to buy Google for a paltry $1 million in 1998.

The opportunity came back in 2002 but Google’s $5 billion price was too high for Yahoo!.

Reports suggest that in 2006, the company came very close to buying Facebook for $1 billion. The deal didn’t go through.

I hope that every writer loses their job at Yahoo.
Miserable people who condemn America and conservatives all the time plus they cannot even get any video to play most of the time. Get rid of any kardashian stories too!!

The new owners need to bring back the comment section.

There is still a market for plastic drink coasters and insecure email services?
