Stop linking to 3rd party pages requiring subscription to continue reading...
My long list of complaints is growing...
After having to install an add on to stop videos from auto starting, the new aggravating thing is going to a news item only to discover that a subscription is required to view the article beyond the first teaser paragraph.
If ya can't come up with original content Yahoo please just do without!

ESPN links with their "insider" requirement. These are a subscriber only feature. You can only view the first 2-3 lines.

Dallas Morning News/Sportsday - you can go 2-3 articles before you get the "requires subscription" pop up

why not give us more personal preference controls period? With a little work, you should be able to tie content sources to settings a user controls. Sure you might have to lay off some people who customize and force feed us the news you want us to see.. but in the long run wouldn't that just save you money and make your user base happier?

Come on with the **** news subscribe to finish reading this story stuff . Get rid of them or are you getting kick backs from them , the news that you have to subscribe & pay for gets more promos than anything else . It is also free on other sites & better reported . In stead or searching to finish a story we could just quit using yahoo. What do you have that is better than google or Firefox anyway

Quit peddling news paper subscription , if it is not a full news article that can be read with out subscribing & paying quit posting it . Your browser is starting to suck . There are others sites we can use & read to get news . How big are your lick backs from Miami & the Boston Globe ? Enough

This pertains to third party articles with ads not promoted through Yahoo.

Now we cannot read an advice column without a subscription? If the readers can't read them, why post them?

Delete articles we wish not to see, over and over again! I get it, some woman needs to prove her woman-ness by ****** feeding in public. Don’t care! Don’t care about the amount of anti Trump on yahoo either. Tired of the **********’s...and their well paid drama. Don’t care!

I'd be ok if they at least stated somewhere that "subscription is required" to let you know that you'll need a sub to read it.

Tired of seeing interest in one of your articles and finding our I have to pay to finish...Miami Herald and Washington Post and others are making me wary of yahoo....please quit featuring articles from them or at least put a big dollar sign on the top of the teaser so we can skip it...

Please correct your news links. Everytime I click on "Read More" it opens a new page that goes to the Jul 24th main page. This has been going on for several weeks and it's very annoying because you can't finish reading news articles. Please fix it.

Miami Herald is now charging a subscription to read there articles. Why do you provide links to pay sites on homepage?

The recent appearance of Cheat Sheet links is especially annoying--the reason I sought this feedback section. Dozens of items appear daily, with enticing titles. You used to have other sources for similar health/food related articles that did not require a subscription. Please remove these from cluttering my news feed or tell me how to remove them myself.

Lately any article supplied by cheatsheet.com requires signing up for their newsletter to read it.

This is nothing more than bait-and-switch or clickbait-and-charge. I have no desire whatsoever to subscribe to these "newspapers".

I agree! STOP posting these links to articles requiring subscription to continue reading...

If I click on an article or a site of interest to me that's what I want to see, not a bunch of other 3rd party stuff. It's frustrating and it takes a lot of my time as well.
