#36Yahoo has digital magazines ? Why would a search company have junk like that ? How much other worthless baggage do they have ?
Yahoo considers itself a "media" company. And therein lies the problem.
There is no way that I would look at inane posturing on Yahoo's blogs.

#37What the fuck is a content vertical?
In longer form: basically a codeword for "A once vaguely or perhaps genuinely interesting website / channel / magazine / whatever but which is now (through various nefarious means) in the possession of Megacorp X, which, in turn, couldn't begin to give a toss about the actual content (let alone the so-called "community" of once passionate viewers / readers), other than through the perception that they serve some marketing demographic Y, real or imagined, to whom, they would like to fancy, they can sell zillions and zillions of ads to."

#39What about Yahoo Answers? I hate seeing their results show up in the top 3 when I do a Google search. They're always low quality and not useful.
Fun fact: practically every assigned problem in undergrad chemistry, physics and math is solved on yahoo answers.

#40The name Mayer is not present in that article. That's definitely PR for the investors. Maybe to prepare a transition?
