Stop spamming yourself with your own ads!
Very annoyed that I can't even read yahoo articles without yahoo ads for other articles popping up. STOPP SPAMMING YOURSELF. We're already on Yahoo we get it, you want us to use Yahoo. I couldn't even read the live blog because of so many ads! Gosh.

Repeating ads after I say I am not interested or they don't apply to me is just a waste of my time trying to disable them.
Truly make it so people can disable these worthless ads.

Use basic Graphic Design knowledge.
Whatever article you are writing, you should review the cover photo on the main page. Thus, you will see that either a black or white text will not work with said photo. I cannot read half of the article titles, because of the font color and subsequent background photo. I'm a graphic design student, and a part of me dies inside when I'm visiting any yahoo news home page.

Stop showing me an advertisement between EVERY article I go to. Especially when the ad is sometimes longer than the video article.
I've said it all!! Stop all the ads. I know you need them, but you don't need one for every article read/watched!

Get rid of those constant motion ads that distract from reading articles, or allow to stop.
Ads like that old lady with her hands and arms always moving make it hard to concentrate on what your reading! The only time I pay attention to those type ads is to note the company in order to ad to my list of companies to Never Buy From!

Report Button
Articles are being posted with questionable reputability and intent.
Here is an example of one such article, which is advertising 3rd-party software for home router configuration:
https://www.yahoo.com/tech/s/now-secure-home-wi-fi-network-just-one-190600114.html
The article is so offensive, that it has received nothing but negative feedback in the comments section. One such statement, is that the article itself is "Dishonest and unethical."
This led me to realize that Yahoo! articles do not have a REPORT function. This is crucial for user feedback, and expresses a level of unprofessionalism on Yahoo! News's part. There should be no excuse not to provide users with a way to contribute…

71st rankedHi there,
We do appreciate all the feedback we receive, and we do listen to the feedback from our users on this Suggestion Board. Our Product Group checks each post on a regular basis.
With regards to the auto-play feature, you can turn this feature off. You’ll want to click on the menu icon when hovering your mouse over the video. Then use your mouse scroll wheel to see the bottom of the feature list, and click Preferences under Settings. Turn Autoplay Off, and click on the X in the top-right corner to close out of the options menu.

I want to be able to search the reivews. but the search takes you outside yahoo tech. how come?
If I want to buy a printer-scanner-faxer there is no way to search just the yahoo tech site for your posted reviews. If you want to keep the eyes on the yahoo pages don't force me outside to the internet, let me search your content exclusively, like cnet or pcmag does. make it useful to the consumer.

mistakes
I wanted to post the following link to my Facebook page:
https://www.yahoo.com/tech/s/chattanooga-touts-transformation-gig-city-153438202.html#
But the genius who configured this page attributed a thumbnail for one of the ads affiliated with the page, not the photographed featured by the article itself. You web site building could stand some better editing

Clean up of the visual garbage dump of the tech section. Text is fine.
The Tech section is a visual disaster. Unreadable. disorganized, random, unpredictable, unnavigable, and nauseating (literally, it causes motion sickness). It looks like a five year old child's room after a sleepover where everyone got sick. It is as bad as nbcnews.com. Please just show the headlines and if absolutely necessary, a SMALL picture to go along with the article.

Greater control by you of your advertising
I understand that as a free internet service you depend on advertising for income. However, the advertising becomes very obnoxious sometimes. I have had ads control my computer screen (without asking for the ad) blocking out what I am viewing, and the only way to get rid of the ad is to go completely out of the internet. That means that if I want to continue viewing what I had been viewing before the ad took over my screen I have to go back into the internet and then back into the website to try to pick up where I…
