I do not need a banner to "click here" to see unwanted and annoying videos. I have done everything I can to stop unwanted videos.
Put a box to click to disable the annoying videos in the news articles. I can read and do not need the distraction nor do I need a talking head spoon feeding me. I know Yahoo has lowered standards, but some of us still read! Let us opt out of the video ****

Scale back on the amount of junk that loads with your home pages? Most of the time I can't even get on because I time out and get messages like "Can't establish a secure connection to server" or "Lost network connection"! On my new iPhone 8Plus running under iOS 11.3.1 I can't even get e-mail to load in the Mail App unless I am on a strong WiFi network because it, too, times out. It's going to be a hassle to change my e-mail address with sooo many contacts, but I am almost to the point where I don't see much choice but to leave Yahoo. You are making things way too difficult.

Stop posting from newspapers, etc. that only allow a few articles to be read and then want to charge to read more. These should be listed as sponsored so I know not to read them.

I dumped Yahoo as my home page last year....or the year before that. Got tired of clicking "next" to get the their click rate up. I still use Yahoo on occasion. When I do I'm reminded why I don't. They have new "advertiser" disguised as a...um...news org/tabloid called CheetSheet. The titles get me to click on them then there's 10-20 pages to click through to read it!! If it's not on the first page in it's entirety I'm done.
A video opt out button would be useful. You're burning up my data!! It's limited and pricy where I live.

Making us click "next" after only a few lines of a story (while you are presumably loading a gazillion cookies into my computer) is awful. Once I figure out how to get my saved files out of my mail here, I am moving over to Google. Yahoo, you used to be great, now it's like Donald Trump has taken you over.

I've had Yahoo as my home page for years, but these imbedded videos are lagging my computer... they continually cause the page to reload, and there is NOTHING I can do to stop them! I'm ready to find a new home page. So, I guess your hope that you can count me as ad 'hits' will go by the wayside!

Why am I finding at least three or four pages still open behind my yahoo screen after I close it. I know you want to get as many ads as possible in my face, but I m sure having that many pages open at the same time is one of the reasons my responses are getting slower and slower. I did not open these pages. So I can only assume Yahoo did, and I don't appreciate it one bit.

In the middle of reading an article you get ads popping in your face in the middle of the screen so you cannot see what you are trying to read. This is assinine and unnecessary. I also don't like having to close four or five ads after I close the screen I was reading. I know your are probably almost broke due to bad management, but irritating your users is not going to help you with that situation.

everytime I am trying to read news I get kicked to some india website https://indiaonclick.com/ please see why after viewing your page, it loads that link and takes me from Yahoo ... this is very aggitating and a possible security issue on your end. this just started for me this week. i don't visit your site to get loaded into another site unvoluntarily.

Yahoo recently started listing advertising in the in box ans also video spots within Yahoo Mail. I cannot tell you how many times that I have inadvertently clicked on advertising, just to get something I do not want. (Along with the malicious garbage that is attached) With the changes that have been made the advertiser links show videos that are taking priority over my keystrokes. These links are loading very slowly and making the mail unusable. With this issue not being able to be solved in mail my long term use of Yahoo might be coming to an end. Please address the priority of the site making keystrokes by the user #1.......not the loading of advertisements.

After years of using Yahoo for news, I'm moving to Google news because of the READ MORE links which are silly and just blatantly so they can rack up page views. It's just gotten too annoying. Yahoo, you're risking becoming irrelevant as a news aggregator, unless you change and adapt to your users' needs. It's too easy to go elsewhere on a commodity such as news and info.

It also makes the page, its scrollbars, and its links move up and down. This causes clicking on the wrong thing.
GET RID OF IT!!!

Every article is about what people think of Trump, their opinion ! I don't give a rats a** what these news agencies and reporters opinions are ! Can they run a story without injecting their opinion and just give facts. Horrible journalism ! Disgusted that you can't even go on yahoo and get one story without the Bs! Can we go back when a story was a fact event not an opinion?

Get rid of that moving thing saying "n people reading ..." in the comments section of an article. It appears and disappears, moving the text (and links) up and down, causing the reader to click on the wrong thing.
It also unnecessarily uses up bandwidth. We DO NOT need it.
