Why would Yahoo alienate their best users by doing away with the "classic" my yahoo?

Question

Yahoo took away the old my yahoo page today, giving long-time users no option but the new one, which I find annoying and inferior. Why have they forced this down our throats? Sadly, I'm looking at switching.

Lets hope they don't force the e-mail change as well--I'm a paying member there, and will yank my 10 year old e-mail account with them if they do.

Answer 1

i agree they did it to all of us i dont think anyone really likes it...

Answer 3

I think it's called "progress." Stinks, doesn't it?

Every company out there is under pressure to provide "new & improved" services. And yeah, often the "improvement" is inferior. :(
