No videos in place of top news stories
I am not happy that you have replaced the bank of top stories with cheesy human interest videos that--even worse--autoplay when I load the page. This is ridiculous. Please bring back the top news stories, in text format, not video.

Please allow us to filter the homepage news. I love Yahoo but the liberal news propaganda is disgusting.
I just want to be able to block content from appearing on my homepage. It's really annoying to have to see such obvious propaganda and hate news in order to get to my email. I used to love reading the days events but you've alienated me and I get my news and entertainment from other sources now. Provide ALL content and let your customers set filters for what they want to see. Please be fair.

Remove the upvote/downvote system in the comment section
It's pretty common knowledge that Yahoo comment sections are absolute toxic dumpsters. Every discussion on any tangentially politics-related post inevitably gets incredibly polarized towards one political extremity. And the reason for this is the upvote/downvote system that is painfully easy to manipulate to steer the discussion one way or another. If Yahoo isn't going to do a proper job of moderating their comment sections and aren't willing to do away with it entirely (which is understandable), then please just remove the upvote/downvote system and just auto-sort the comments by most recent or something instead. All the upvote/downvote system does is…

Take all opinion articles and put them in their own category.That way the real news can be read by people.
Sorry, opinion pieces are being read by people and they consider it fact. We need to try to idiot proof the process so people can make good decisions for their lives and others around them.

Please stop refreshing page and going to top of page while I am scrolling down list of articles
Site is very annoying when I am trying to read the list of articles and it suddenly refreshes and takes me back to the top of the list. So I must go back to stop and rinse and repeat. After a couple of times of this I give up and just stop reading this site. Please stop this refreshing.

Please bring back local and world news
There is no where on yahoo to look at World News, no where to find Local News, no links to political cartoons or other cartoonists, almost never any science articles, and your sports page usually reads like high school students with no sports experience is writing the articles. Even as a democrat myself I find the far left political bias to be infuriating and the misandry oozes off the website like a sinus infection. Why?

my reactions
i am not sure how to word this because i am ****** off right now about this. i am getting tired of seeing someone has replied to a comment i have made in the yahoo news section and when i try and find that reply, my original comment along with all the other replies to it disappear. there needs to be a "my reactions" sort function that will allow all of your comments to be brought up to the front so you can see yours and all the replies to it first.

My Yahoo Homepage
My suggestion is for the My Yahoo Homepage. I would like to see new themes to choose from because they have not changed or been updated for years. Thanks!

Your entertainment headlines of late are getting very, very, spoiler-y. Please suppress that trend.
Self explanatory. Right now you're almost the kid that screamed, "Snape kills Dumbledore!" Everyone on the planet doesn't get the opportunity to see everything the first hour it's out. Edit your headlines in such a way as not to disrupt the enjoyment of the masses.

stop using such poor writers.
Your stories are interesting, but the one about the doberman showed a picture or a boxer on the front page, and it sounded like it had been written by a middle schooler for an assignment. Your articles are a insult to any moderate intelligent adult.

Please use closed captioning, even if it's lousy auto-captioning
Closed captioning on videos would be great, please. I know that the sources don't always provide the captioning, but when they're clips from TV news, they really should. IF GMA and local news channels want their clips to have global exposure on Yahoo!, then it should be part of their deal with you that they include the captions they were required to provide when they were on the air.
There is software in existence now, too, that will do an auto-caption; it's generally a pretty poor caption compared to having a trained person do it, but it's better than nothing…

Why am I having to scroll down to a totally different article. To cut off a video that has nothing to do with the one I clicked on.
Stop autoplay.
