Yahoo pulled the comments because 90% of their stories are fiction from Huffington Post, Business Insider, or deviates from the LA Times.
This thing, Yahoo, used to be a news service but that ended years ago. They used to actually cover sports. Now, all you read is how shameful it is that everybody is not kneeling. You could get movie reviews and actually leave your own review. Now, we get a diatribe about how great it is that a movie had two transgender people and three gays. I don't care about inclusion if the thing stinks. There used to be actual NEWS in Yahoo and some was picked up from local outlets without being sanitized. Now, if a white guy does something bad, it's in the headline. If a minority shoots up a convent then race is never mentioned even if the story gets used. In politics, one out of every twenty stories is from National Review. Ten are from Huffington Post or Business Insider (which never has a story about business). The rest are a conglomerate of pieces written without any sources or verification. Most are trash like "Twitter shocked as Trump says most Americans should get jobs." The only thing worth reading was the comments because they were better written than the actual articles. People responding posted sources and real data, unlike most of the Yahoo articles. But Yahoo has their wish. They are left with a reader base of infants who could not change a tire or cook an egg but insist that their opinions are the only ones that matter. If you actually have a home, a job, a career, and a family then Yahoo thinks you are out of touch. I don't think this stinking pile will be with us much longer. The other day, I was trying to read a story about baseball and it was insipid, ignoring the game itself in favor of a diatribe against healthy people trying to return to normalcy when they could be rioting instead. I wondered about the people who used to search for advertisers just to tell them they would never buy that product because they had advertised in a NAMBLA newsletter or on Yahoo, pretty close in editorial quality. But I actually struggled to find any actual advertisers. Years ago, Yahoo had popup ads all the time and sometimes had banner ads. Now, I sometimes get a flash ad on the side that tries to convince me to buy ladies' swimwear, without bothering to show the vendor, or there are click bait ads that I sometimes tap by mistake. There, we find ads that nobody reads and stories written by Scary Mommy on how she learned to make hot chocolate in her microwave. Such tales are not worthy of a single page but go on for twenty. The simple truth is that Yahoo is terrified that somebody might have an opinion that is not right in line with the doctrinaire socialist militancy that they dole out every day. They are the Soylent Green of thought.
