Yahoo is the grandpa of the internet – the purple-portal pioneer from 1994 that used to rule search, email, and chat rooms before Google showed up and turned it into the Blockbuster Video of tech, now limping along under private equity overlords Apollo Global Management, desperately slinging clickbait headlines, fantasy sports, finance tickers, and refuse to let go of their @yahoo.com address like it's a landline. Once valued at $125 billion in the dot-com bubble (before popping harder than a woke balloon at a based barbecue), it got bought by Verizon for chump change, stripped for parts, and now survives as a content farm that somehow still gets more traffic than your aunt's Facebook feed.

As for woke, Yahoo is the ultimate hypocrite hero, corporate side hit the big red “delete DEI” button in early 2025, scrubbing every trace of rainbow-washed employee groups and racial equity, but the news portal is still a non-stop woke IV drip of trans-kid cheerleading, Pride parades in article form, climate doomerism, and enough social-justice sanctimony to make your eyes roll into next week. They went full camouflage mode on the HR virtue while keeping the content farm cranking liberal slop.
