Stop with the "Yahoo is better with the app" pop up that freezes my screen!!! I ALREADY HAVE THE APP, for starters!!
What GENIUS deployed this half page pop up add for your terrible news app that FREEZES THE WHOLE **** PAGE???? You can't kill it, if you refresh it goes back to the main page, it's a complete dead end!! What BRILLIANT PERSON came up with that???
I'm done with you stupid people. -

Why does YAHOO not allow us to see content because the ADS COVER 1/3 OF THE PAGE???
Suddenly, ADS cover the lower-left 1/3 of the entire viewing area!
Do you not want us (the patrons/consumers) to actually SEE THE CONTENT? Then, why provide the stories? -
It would be nice if you could scroll through to read an article without the ads moving around and getting in your way, good god
Ad bug, the ads from the right now move over to the left and you can't make them move to see the actual content on the page. Is this a bug? Can you fix it?
Thank you again for reporting this issue, our Engineers have resolved the issue and you should no longer see ads covering article content.

If you're actually listening, please stop harrassing me with your ad to make Yahoo my homepage. It's ridiculous and not going to happen!

Get rid of the limit on publishers that can be blocked on the homepage.
Just getting rid of the articles on what color of underwear princess Dipshit was wearing and articles of what celebrity ****** take up the entire list. There's no room to get rid of articles of what hairstyle I should get or what dress would really show off my **. I'm a guy. I don't care about any of that *. All it does is take up space that could be occupied by actual news.

Give your End User the Ability to Control News Feeds!
Give your end user, and your CUSTOMER, the ability to manage and control their news feed. Let us delete or block news feeds we don't want to see. If I don't want to get news from Huffington Post or The Daily Beast or Fox News, I should be able to block them and control that news feed to my home page.
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback on this. Our product team has added a feature that will allow you to see less of the publishers that you don’t want to see on your Yahoo Homepage Newsfeed. The steps to do so can be found here: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/homepage/sln29105.html

Don't make Twitter the only contact for your journalists. Don't you think a Yahoo email account should be available.
Jon Ward isn't worthy of being a senior political correspondent if he can't even get the first name of TN's Dem candidate for governor correct. What sloppy, horrible, lazy, inexcusable work It is Phil, not Steve Bredesen. Moronic. Unbelievable but I'm not getting Twitter to point out a stupid, inexcusable error.

Discontinue HIGHLIGHTING "articles" from extreme liberal sources like Huffington Post.
It's one thing to occasionally post from these extreme sources, but Yahoo HIGHLIGHTS them every single day! Be more balanced in your approach. I've been a regular Yahoo! user for nearly 20 years and you're about to lose me permanently to Google. You are out of step with your clientele.
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. Our product team has added a feature that will allow you to remove publishers like the Huffington Post from appearing on your Yahoo Homepage Newsfeed. The steps to do so can be found here: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/homepage/sln29105.html

Stop continuous paopup about "Make Yahoo Your Home Page', and "Stay On Top Of Breaking News".
Can you please take down the Popups for Breaking News and Make Yahoo Your Home Page? They're annoying after several months of seeing them. First, Yahoo IS my home page. Second, I already read the top stories of that day. Take this stuff down! We don't need them anymore. You guys clog up the works with all this unnecessary code and junk.

Sponsored ad contains malware - ScanGuard is malware
This sponsored ad leads to a page rating antivirus software. One of them, ScanGuard is a well known malware/virus. It took me a couple of hours to remove it from my computer. Please do not expose us to known malware under the guise of antivirus apps.

Why do videos that I am not reading start in the middle of stories I am?
I am reading about Putin and some video for soccer starts 3/4 of the way down the page?

stop with starting several videos at 1 time all it does is cause anger and x ing out to another service
allow users to click on storied they want to see an stop forcing video popups that block the story you are looking at. and when two to three loud videos start at once. That is offencive and treats your users like idiots. Please stop this practice
