Difficulty finding and responding to responses
I think it's a bug, but am not sure. I get notifications of responses to my comments in gmail. I click on the Reply to [so and so] button in the email and it takes me...somewhere, usually to the article, but never to where my comment is or where the response is. Am I doing something wrong or is the platfrom bogged down because of high usage.

Fix Yahoo News notification feature
When I click on a Yahoo News notification for my account, it doesn't take me to the comment so I can respond. It makes me scroll through lengthy threads in hopes I can locate the comment response. Very frustrating.

Fix the reply to feature
If somebody responds to my comment I get notified in Yahoo mail but when I click on reply I'm not taken to where I can reply. I'm taken to the beginning of the comment section.

Ad can’t be closed makes story unreadable
The last 5 days, every single story I open is immediately covered by a massive Amazon ad that you cannot close and makes the stories completely unreadable. I’m having to go to other news sites to read news and you’ve been my favorite platform for years. Please fix it so I can keep reading.

Fix commenting problem
Whether through a link to a comment in my email, or by directly accessing a comment in the article comment feed, or by clicking the icon of the person replying to me, I can't reply to others, because the message won't stay up long enough to write a reply. It lasts about 3 seconds (3 letters worth) then reverts to the main comment feed for the article. FIX THIS PLEASE!
Especially if clicking an emailed notification link. It should go directly to the person commenting on my comment, not to the commtent feed, where I'm then forced to dig through…

Can no longer reply to someone's else reply; it has an option to sign in even though I am. Any attempt to sign in simply reloads the page. This just started happening today.

Viewing comments on your comments...
Not an idea, but an apparent bug...
In the last couple of weeks, whenever I've received a notification that someone has replied to a comment, and I attempt to launch to that comment, Yahoo will MOMENTARILY display that exact thread (for ~ less than a second), then immediately jump to the very beginning of the thread.
I.e., it just "flashes" the thread of messages/replies associated with the notification, but ill not stay on that thread.
This happens in both Chrome and Firefox.
I'm using Chrome Version 108.0.5359.126 (Official Build) (64-bit)
and Firefox 108.0.2 (64-bit)178th ranked -

Yahoo; Please label teaser ads for "subscription required" sites
Yahoo; Please label teaser ads for "subscription required" so that I do not waste time hitting them (I think you used to do this). Better yet, do not display ANY "subscription required" sites in my news! In the same vein, where did the three dots for "show less of this site" go? I took. Yahoo Plus to get rid of ads, it should include these options.

U.S. News stories are not from U.S.
Most of the stories in the U.S. News section should be in the World News section.

Do you know that many of Yahoo features especially comments don't work in the Firefox browser
Many features will not in the Firefox browser. Also when I get an email about a comment and try to reply to it, it is blocked because it doesn't go to a https website meaning your comments are probably vulnerable to hackers.
