Except that a conspiracy is meant to be hidden and this is blatantly obvious. Yahoo is saying "we don't like that conservatives comment on our inaccurate stories so we are shutting them down". I haven't been on Yahoo in years, but as I recall conservative comments outnumbered liberal comments by a wide margin.

Well, I just know that many people exposed the spin Yahoo had with their stories, whether Yahoo originated stores or not. In the comments, commentators frequently shared the real story with references, often a few words here and there gave a lot of different context to the story Yahoo ran.

Yahoo for a while tried combating this by rerunning the story, thus all the original comments would disappear, they would rerun some stories a few times to reset the comments.

I would not even call it a conservative nor liberal thing, I saw all sorts of stories no matter the side benefited, being corrected in the comments.

It did seem to me for some time now, there has been a dedicated group of comment makers doing this, so really hounding Yahoo's rear.

Yahoo i guess gave up for now.

That's why they shut them down. They just couldn't deal with the fact that so many disagreed with them and were not buying into their propaganda.

Yeah Yahoo was being delusional all around with this stories and agendas they think the American public would 'embrace.'

Some of the times they would get it right, but many times their attempts at shoving an agenda down our throats failed miserably and the comments showed it.

Amazing how many more pro-liberal, pro-BLM, Orange-Man-Bad "articles" are on yahoo now that they don't have to deal with any non-believers obstructing their narratives.

Yahoo is basically no longer usable for me.

You've gone and made me sad because for a while I forgot about IMDB message boards.

I loved IMDB message boards. Once I was contacted by someone who was going to create an alternative site but nothing ever came of it.

I think it was the Daily Beast that stopped the comments shortly before it became known Hillary would run. I think was 2014ish they stopped. Doesn't Verizon own yahoo now. I think they have a European in charge.

I'm predicting Yahoo will bring back the comments sections after the election is over.

Removing them basically silences any dissent to their left-wing bias.
