I don't like the new news format that came in about a week ago (2/15/24)

The new format is very off-putting. Previously, the section at the top had a nice, scrolling mix of stories is gone and now I'm being force-fed "for you" articles that are wall to wall Trump. The section should be called "For You . . . to be depressed or For You . . . to be nauseated." Stop making people doom-scroll. Sadly, it's time for MSN News and Google News to step in.

The new format for yahoo comments section is poorly designed and user unfriendly. It is impossible to determine whether a comment has a majority of favorable or unfavorable votes, and which comments are attributed to a former comment or are original. Please return to the old format which was easier to use and understand.

The new comments format makes it difficult to follow a thread. There is no line that connects one comment to a previous one.

As each news article has a yahoo feedback it would be worth while for, in the commentator's profile, to give some indication of where that commentator is from (like if they really are someone who is affected by the news item or just some irate troll farm.

Since the latest update on news article comments I no longer receive notifications when someone likes or comments on my comment. I've checked my settings, the notification setting is turned on.

You literally have people posting insanely offensive things, and you've taken away the option to dislike a comment. One user posted about "putting a cap" in other users, and of course it only shows likes, since you stopped counting the dislikes. You still have a thumbs down button, but it has not effect. What a terrible change.

You have ruined the Yahoo comments section. Whoever thought this new format was an improvement is delusional. It's ****! Thanks for nothing, moron!

What has happened to Yahoo News Page? Just one story is in the line up box and that’s all. Also you have maybe only two choices of newsfeed. Please fix this problem! Also for several days my Yahoo News Page continuously crashes then re downloads. What is going on with Yahoo?

Why can't readers "mute" commenters? I don't want to report anyone, I just don't want to see their comments. Why has this feature been removed?

I have to open the Yahoo mail weather & search every day for a variety of reasons. It used to open with a single click which saved time and so easy. This just changed this week. Now I have figure out a way to locate it every day. I never thought this would happen and I don't know why but it would be so nice to have it back on its logo on my home page. Thank you.

OpenWeb has been rated the worst-ever comment platform in internet history since its inception, yet the company somehow managed to make it even worse with its new version. NO ONE likes it! On every article, without fail, the top comment is of people complaining about it. What's good about it: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! What's bad about: EVERYTHING!!! The text is too small on the website. Cannot create paragraphs (line breaks), so you're looking at a WALL OF TEXT, which is insufferable. Taking away emojis and GIFs is a bad thing. It was fun using them and seeing others use them in a fun, joking manner. The new reactions are a jumbled mess: You can't tell which reaction has the most or least clicks. The ABSURDLY AGGRESSIVE AI moderation is beyond out of control!!! Having benign comments removed is appalling! Having to scroll through countless removed comments to find an actual comment is not only frustrating, but it suppresses conversation. No one wants to look at hundreds of notices of "This comment has been removed..." The Yahoo Community (us users) is sick and tired of OpenWeb! The new comment platform is literally making us NOT want to come on Yahoo anymore for our news' reading and comment activities. The new version does NOT promote a sense of community in the way that it wants (a community of engagement): It created a HATER community against it. Get rid of it NOW before all of us Yahooers leave Yahoo forever!

I've received 5+ email notification spread out over several hours that the same comment has been removed. I use to defend Yahoo when other commenters complained but no more. I received another email notification while I was typing this. Your comment system is terrible.

Your new comments section is the worst. Bring back the old one. You are going to lose a lot of people with the new comment section.
