Ad Banner across bottom of screen
Why is there a new advertising banner across the bottom of the page? 2 already exist on the right side of the screen. This covers up email where you can only see a small part of it. Is this an intent to have people pay a monthly fee?

Please remove the ad at the bottom of our inboxes. I understand the need for ad revenue, and the bar on the right side of the screen is fine, but these new bottom ads are too much. Not only do they lessen the amount of space we have to read our emails, they are extremely distracting and make me not want to use Yahoo at all. My eye is constantly drawn down to the ad that flashes and changes frequently, which wastes my time and undermines the point of using Yahoo for email in the first place. If I can't do my business as usual, I have no need for Yahoo. Plus, the constant flickering of the ad hurts my eyes. If this lower ad bar persists, I'll have to move to a different platform. It will be difficult to do, but it will be necessary and I will go.
I know Yahoo is a corporate entity that is solely out to make money, but please be better than that, at least on SOME level. Please treate your users with respect.

I agree this is very annoying. It bothers my eyes. If you don't remove it I will just stop using yahoo mail. I know you're doing this to get us to upgrade but I'm not interesting in upgrading.

I can't read my emails with the giant banner ad at the bottom of the page. Please move it to the right side with the other ads.

I can't read my emails due to the new ad box at the bottom of the screen. It's brutal!! This just started July 24th or 25th, was never like this before. Makes it REALLY hard to read email content. C'mon Yahoo, you should know better.

I have some vision issues due to some combat injuries. I use Chrome and have to zoom in, along with adjusting my resolution, to be able to read numbers and letters (otherwise they are just too small to read). The new adds on the bottom of the preview screen covers the message. Yahoo has become worthless for email.

Please remove the ads from the bottom of my screen - it completely changes the experience of using Yahoo for email and I'll definitely move to another email provider if the ad bar stays there. It's unusable.

We will be merging all feedback about the new bottom banner ad here. The right team who manages our ads will be reading and looking at this thread. In general, we do offer an ad-free experience if you upgrade to Yahoo Mail Plus, but of course it's not mandatory!

Hi Gaetan, thank you for the feedback. We will share this with our team that manages our ads. We currently have no plans to get rid of this ad, but we are always looking for ways to improve the experience. Thanks again!

Remove ads from bottom of Inbox page, it reduces too much the available space for email messages. Already ads on right side.

The new ad banner across the bottom significantly decreases the amount of space I see in the inbox. Due to a visual impairment, I have to use a desktop computer, not a phone. And now with ads to the right side and the bottom, it makes it even more difficult to navigate. Plus, because I have to use increased magnification, the ads become even larger. It is awful that Yahoomail seems so desperate to have users pay for ad free, that they make it awful for users who just want a free and easy to use email. I have a disability, I cannot pay $10/mth. It is corporate greed and really sad. I guess they want people to use GMail or something else. I honestly expected more from yahoomail. I know you need to advertise, but please consider less disruptive means and please be more considerate of the needs of different users.

This makes my email almost unusable. There are ads on the side bar which do not interfere. How many ad bars are needed?

Please remove the bottom ad that blocks me from seeing my emails in the preview pane. That is the most annoying thing!
