Stop autoplaying videos on the Yahoo News home page
I see a lot of complaints about videos autoplaying when news articles are opened. That's annoying because it is unnessarily chewing up bandwidth. Recently when I first go to the Yahoo news home page, a video autoplays on the upper right side of the screen. I find this extremely annoying. I've used Yahoo News as my primary online news source for at least 12 years and now I think I need to look at less intrusive alternatives.

Sponsored "articles" are ruining my Yahoo experience.
I have been a faithful Yahoo user since the 90s. One used to be able to find the account date in account information, but that seems to have moved, I know my account dates back to at least 1998 and I have been on Yahoo daily since that time.
I used to spend time browsing headlines and clicking through to read many articles from your home page. However since the inception of sponsored content, I avoid the Yahoo home page.
I understand the need to generate profit but when every other "article" listed on the home page is in fact…

I want to READ articles, NOT WATCH videos
I click on articles to READ them NOT WATCH them. I am sick of clicking on a text headline online to be taken to a video. If you offer it in video, offer it in text too!! If I click on a headline and it takes me to a video I immediately close it.

A Block button
A block button to prevent other users from seeing your posts, going into your post history and continuously attacking you everywhere you go would be incredibly useful. The mute button stops you from seeing people's posts but it obviously doesn't stop others from seeing your posts and post history. People with ill will just goes through your post history and constantly attack you even after you mute them.
Cutting off interaction between two very hostile parties with a block button will save everyone a headache in the short and long term. It will also improve the article comments section tremendously.

I want to customize the stories on my news feed! I am REALLY sick of getting stories about murder, animal abuse, genocide, etc. ENOUGH
I don't want to get depressed or outraged every time I check the news feed-- 90% of the stories I get are gruesome, and if I had young ones around while scanning my news- they'd be traumatized. Some of them traumatized me, and I am an adult!

Provide unbiased news coverage - pretty simple
How can this be improved or dealt with? Simply provide unbiased news. We are in dangerous times now where the bias displayed through, supposed news outlets, is glaringly, obviously biased which feeds the intolerance from different points of view. To have an article with the title - "Mike Pence Says Stripping Women of Rights More Important Than Midterm Gains" is disgusting! I will submit this to the CRTC as you folks need to be straightened out. If you cannot be unbiased just say so. Myself and the rest of like minded individuals will go elsewhere. Yahoo seems to be going…

Stop spreading panic news.
Dylan Stableford and Lauren Tuck need to just stop. The political bias is just too much...I love yahoo...but I'm about to delete it from my favorites because of this blue side panic driven goal of getting trump out. It's been 4 years...get over it...vote in a new guy if you can...if you can't..live with it. Everybody else is.

Bring back comment section
My guess is the comment section was taken down because that is the best way for yahoo to push it's very biased and liberal agenda. That's the best way to silence people with a different view (the truth) take away their voice. Have gotten to where I dont even pay attention on yahoo page. To much false ********. There are no journalists left in this country with enough testicular fortitude to actually report the truth

Remove trash articles re: butts, breasts, wardrobe fails, bikinis. Boring and shallow. If we click off it should stay off.
Yahoo has become more and more trashy. Do you only employ ****** teen boys. Its always about women's butts, breasts, bikinis. Sexist garbage. Enough. If I click do not show, I don't want to see it again. Get a life. Tired of Celebrity trash too.

Please give your readers more options in customizing the news feed.
I would like to get rid of the "Celebrity" topic but there is no way to do it. Right now you give people "See less from" option regarding the source but not the theme.

Base your stories on truth, be objective rather than devisive
This would be a refreshing change rather than the same old mindless Trump bashing

Let's see the top 15 stories use HuffPo in 6 examples. Since they hate Trump and are a confirmed Tabloid how about using other sources.
How about stories on the good economy or the low unemployment.

Stop Animal Cruelty stories
Please STOP with these horrible animal cruelty stories on your front page each day!!!! I literally get sick seeing "Dog dragged behind van" and "Dog's mouth taped shut." Let the cops and local authorities handle these things. You are giving animal abusers ideas and attention.
