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!

    Many of the articles in your yahoo home page are interesting, but I can never finish reading any of them without some kind of re-direct 3rd party intrusion popping up on my screen. I know that business is business but you folks at yahoo don't really think that your customers enjoy these uninvited interruptions do you?

    I feel that it is wrong to require any of the following to use a news page:

    - A login and password
    - A subscription to the newspaper

    In many cases, I want to read one story that has national impact, and will probably never visit that newspaper again.

    In my case, I search for various traffic engineering solutions (e.g. the diverging diamond interchange and the flashing yellow arrow signal) and these greedy ne3wspapers keep me from finding out the information I need.

    If you sign up for one of their "free" subscriptions, you start getting "newsletters" that have nothing to do with what you were interested in. They want you to attend their Pumpkin Festival or know about their programs for the arts.

    Tell those greedy little newspapers that people in other parts of the country are not interested in their newspaper or their local events, but in only one article that affects other parts of the US.

    In addition, they are contributing to the password clutter people have to contend with. I now have over 200 accounts with various companies, most of which should not be requiring a login.

    Sprint/SoftBank: Rich uncle - FT.com

    SoftBank chief executive Masayoshi Son wants to put up more cash in support of his stumbling US mobile operator Sprint Corp. Sprint needs lots of capital, but its weak operating results and $34bn in total debt make additional borrowing tricky.

    Can't read it because I won't sign up for Financial Times. STOP DOING THIS!

    I noticed this complaint was shared 4 months ago & apparently, nothing's changed. Is this comment section for real or it just killing time for Yahoo workers to give them something to read because "fixing" things is not in their job description.

    Thank you, Mark. I won't read those articles either.

    What happened to free information yahoo ?

  • jim commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree i expect to read to a story but just get a few lines
    then get the - to read more click here
    only to find you have to subscribe to some other news web site to read the whole story
    I don't want to subscribe to other news sites I want to read the stories this site posted

  • Susan Schwartz commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is the final straw I think. Way too many articles I need to register or pay to read. No thanks Yahoo.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    It happened again to me. Following a link to NEWSWEEK and was told to subscribe before I could read the article

  • Jeff T. commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yahoo News article is link to an article in Fnancial Times that requires you to register to see the article. This should not be allowed or you should post a warning. Very disappointing.

    it seems that yahoo writters cant come up with anything original any way ...and the subscriptions to newsweek or THE REQUIREMENTS OF 3 & 4TH PARTY SITES BEING ALLOWED YOU PERSONAL INFO . yeah that aint gonna happen ...then thats WHAT YAHOO HAS BEEN ABOUT SINCE IT WAS THE BUZZ IN 2005 ....AND THE SUBSCRIBERS WANTED PERSONAL INFO.

  • John Matthews commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree with Mark. I will not pay to sign up to Newsweek or any other service. Yahoo should stop linking stories to companies that do this. I know it is too much to ask since Yahoo gets a cut of all the subscriptions, but, really. I plan to change my homepage to something else if this continues.

  • mark commented  ·   ·  Report

    I came here specifically to post this same complaint.

  • stephen pugh commented  ·   ·  Report

    put up news that can be viewed. Wasting of my time will send me to google!

  • rowlandw commented  ·   ·  Report

    I was going to post this myself - totally agree!
