    How improbable is it that in 2026 yahoo still exists and it is the first place you hear WW3 might be averted with a totally fine decent article about it?

      It’s interesting. I was just about to remark on how they are owned by Verizon, but this is no longer the case as of 2021. They are now apparently 90% owned by some private equity company called Apollo Global Management.

      The article in question is decent because Yahoo displays news articles from dedicated news organizations in the same way as MSN.com. In this case, the article is written by AFP (Agence France-Presse).

      My favorite aspect is the button that says “Add Yahoo on Google.” This would be an absolutely insane phrase in 2006.
