This week i decided to go and check out my yahoo account. It used to be my primary email account from my younger days. Eventually as I grew, so did the spam and the ugliness of the interface. It was horrendous and complicated. Yahoo is dying and we all know that, it is the next AOL. So yea i thought it’d be funny to go check it out. Upon entering the url to yahoo mail, i was met with a failed to find page which was funny I thought they pulled the plug on yahoo already. I went the long way and went to the yahoo page which itself is terrible. Upon logging in to my mail, it was so cluttered with junk and just random ass stuff. Such a terrible interface too. 9999+ emails, great. Lucky for me I was greeted with an update Yahool mail interface popup. It was a message from god himself. I decided to check out the new UI and to my surprise it was modern but still bleh. Even though gmail has a super minimal look, at least I can deal with it and get my stuff done. Yahoo is trying too hard and it ain’t looking too good imo. On a more positive note, it now said i had 999+ emails so there is that! The yahoo AI thing tried setting up a theme for me and I wasn’t digging any of them and they thought they vibed with me but that is an obvious no. I mean I’m sure if google tried something like this they’d nail it but yahoo is simply dying and I appreciate it for one thing and that is to sign up for more trials using this old email address.
