    I worked at Yahoo from 2007-2013. Many of the employees were amazing. Intelligent, creative and hard working. A big part of their downfall was their inability to leverage their talent. Things were lost during the turmoil of constant CEO turnover and internal reorganizations. While I was there, we had 4 or 5 different CEOs and I had literally 11 different bosses.

      Their Social Justice Warrior Writers have disenfranchised their mostly republican base. My dad and me both quit using the site because they constantly support Democrat narratives. Then they cause dissent by taking peoples ability to comment. Yahoo is offiicially dead

      Lol, I don't think Napster would've been drinking buddies with the others. =)
      MySpace, AOL, and Yahoo were
      corporations that were obsessed with growing rather than end user experience.
      Napster was a hobbyist project that was forced to shut down not by lack of popularity but by record companies. It would popularize P2P technology. It's co-founder (Sean Parker) would move on to help grow Facebook and Spotify.
      MySpace, AOL, and Yahoo deserved to die while Napster's legacy still lives on with torrents and Spotify.

    I agree with everything said apart from one SMALL detail: huge companies with a diversified portfolio should not be doomed to fail by default.
    You mentioned Google. Google got their hands pretty much everywhere. Many of their ventures fail as soft drink makers know that 7 out of 10 new drinks they launch will never make money.
    So, what is wrong with Yahoo?
    You kind of said it. Here it is yet in another form: people, companies, and countries should never have a RIGID approach to things. Not being able to back off from a hill conceived idea could be an alarming sign of a leader with a rigid personality.
    If that is a kind of 'company culture', then i won't be surprised at Yahoo's demise.
    Thanks for your accurate and concise analysis.

      The name is still there the same way AOL is. But it’s just a brand name at this point, the same way RCA or Westinghouse are just brand names. Obviously the company circling the drain still had some value as VZ bought them for $5B which while much less than they were at their peak is still not inconsequential.
