#12I truly don't understand how Yahoo still exists. How have they survived this long?
I ask myself the same question, especially when it was announced on HN they just spent cash on a new branding logo https://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/new_log...
What's the deal with this new folksy corporate logo style that everyone is jumping on? It seems like Yahoo and McDonalds are just copying Walmart.

What other service am I supposed to use as a permanent throwaway email account?

I realize you're posting this in jest, but I actually prefer AOL for this. They're one of the only major providers that will still let you sign up without providing a phone number. And, like Yahoo, I'm kindof amazed that they're still around.

Not accurate. Verizon owns them both, but bought AOL before Yahoo.

The updated Yahoo Finance app is really slick, actually. It actually makes me wonder WTF happened to Google Finance? Why did they essentially abandon it? Charts just show up at the top of the results page but there's no dedicated site anymore.
The fall of Google finance is astounding. You can go to https://finance.google.com and search for "Slack" with no results. You can search for "WORK" (Slack's stock symbol) with no results. You have to actually type "NYSE:Work" to have it show up in the search results. It's astonishing.
