I cannot reply to someone who has replied to my initial comment.
I cannot reply to someone who has replied to my initial comment even though I receive an email with the reply and a blue button to reply specifically to that person. It takes me to the article but I cannot find my original comment or the reply by someone else. I used to do this.

Allow replies to comments go directly to the comment. It used to do that but no more.
I can't seem to reply to comments that somebody posts on my comment

I have been trying for over FOUR MONTHS to get help with YAHOO NEWS comments section.
I am apparently banned from Yahoo News comment section. I believe the remediation algorithm has mistakenly done this. All posts and replies I make are removed in seconds with a comment that it violates policy. How does 'Hello' violate policy? No one can reply on Yahoo HELP and all I get are cut and paste emails telling me to review policies. I have done that many times. I subscribed to paid support and wasted that money to be told that they cannot help me and to contact OpenWeb. I have done this and not gotten a single reply from them…

Honor the browser settings - autoplay
I have Firefox set to NOT "autoplay audio and video", yet Yahoo News seems to ignore my browser settings.
I DO NOT WANT VIDEOS SUCKING UP MY DATA ALLOTMENT!
Why can't Yahoo honor my browser settings? If I want news videos, I will turn on my 65" TV. Why would I want to watch a video on my 6" phone screen? I even have dual 24" monitors OVER dual 27" monitors on my PC... Again, why would I want to watch a video on my 6" phone screen?
Guess my only option is to boycott Yahoo News on my phone.646th ranked -
The news articles that you've selected are clearly from biased sources. I'll check occasionally to see if you've corrected this.

Annoying Video Popup
While scrolling down a news article, new in the past month you popup a video on the lower right. The video never plays right, freezes or refuses to play at all. The video player covers the text of the article I came to read, making it unreadable. If I close the video to read it, the video pops up again the moment I scroll down. I did not come to Yahoo News to watch videos, but I will leave as a result of them.

I often see your articles state at the bottom 'What do you think? Let us know in the comments below'. But you don't have a comment section??
Fix your comments section, especially if you have articles stating 'Let us know in the comments'!

Yahoo News Articles Comments not loading.
NONE of the comments on Yahoo News Articles are loading! You can see the comment bubble, but when you click on it, it scrolls down to where the comments are supposed to be, you get a brief flash of background color and shapes showing article comments, and then it vanishes and there's just a field of white. Please fix this ASAP! Thank you!

video popup lower right corner
The news video popup in the lower right corner does not stay closed. It reopens with each new scroll down. No means no! Closed means stay closed. Reopening is harassment. This is important because on a zoomed browser screen, to 125%, your video blocks the text content overlaying it. Desktop, windows, brave browser.

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.

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 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.
