That sounds like Yahoo alright

It honestly blows my mind that yahoo is even a thing anymore. I can't think of the last time they got something right, yet they keep shuffling along.

Yahoo Auctions is still massive in Japan.

We used to use them to farm and sell gold and rare items in an online game that I won't mention because I'm afraid it will restart my addiction.

Data harvesting is a lucrative business. You don’t need to have a good product with todays internet, you just need to have access to a lot of insanely personal data, and yahoo has both an expansive advertising network and hosts hundreds of millions of email accounts. They're just Google except they don't pretend to care about anything else

They can keep shuffling along, though. If you don't have to pay for active development of features, maintenance of their existing product lines is relatively cheap.
