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…

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)182nd 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.

Bugs me
The censoring is annoying especially when you can't figure out the reason/can't fix it but it's fun to add a gif & I can't do that anymore. The page is misaligned no matter what brower I use. The frames are all over the place. Even here there's something on top of where I'm typing. You guys have my email. Let me know what to do if anything. It's a hoot adding those things!

the news section UI is terrible. notifications on comments , but how to use link to see it?
notifications on comments , but how to use link to see it? 80% of the time does nothing . 2/10 times it will take me to new window to see comment reply. why only 20% of the time does it function? go to view past comment, where is it? you have most of my comments listed. if i navigate to new story i commented on ,there it is. but not listed in comment history.

Fix the state referenced in the transgender child article summary
The summary on the main yahoo.com news page says "Minnesota" is attempting to ban gender affirming care which is incorrect. The article text correctly references "Missouri" as the state attempting to ban gender affirming care. Minnesota and Missouri are different states.
Minnesota is doing the opposite making sure that gender affirming care is available for all from medical providers.
This is the article with the incorrect summary.

I can't log out of the News Chat OpenWeb
I have canceled my account with your racially discriminating chat system operators "OpenWeb" several times in the past month. The account continues to exist despite my efforts. I log out of the News Chat OpenWeb and find myself logged back in the next time I view yahoo news. I want to never use this horrible service again, the people who moderate are racists, and I do not want them to hold any information on me. So, far, all efforts fail because log out does nothing, and cancel account does nothing for months on end.

Fix your Help site so it functions properly and actually provides help.
I was notified my comment wasn't approved because I used a questionable word (claim). I was told to edit it or send for Comment Moderation. The site does not offer a way to send comments for moderation. Your Help site did not provide any answer or assistance. This is why people prefer Google.
