It's extremely useful when failing companies declare themselves to be
in need of being ignored completely. The problem and the solution get
neatly delivered in a single tidy package. Efficient!

Yes true, but I don't think Yahoo are finished -- the regular masses
have no clue as to the problems though.
I just wish that Yahoo would not be such a problem, malvertising and
password issues for many; so badly handled, such a nightmare.
Unfortunately, many web services that are "free" are being bought via
other means. And with the horrid mess that gives us extremely bloated
websites, including all the analytics and advertising junk, well it's a
joke. Had they acted better (not just Yahoo), then perhaps there would
be no need for adblockers. There is most definitely a need for
adblockers these days, the junk that they stop is quite significant.
If everything is "pay for", then I can see more and more services
shutting up shop.

Yes, unless people use other "free" services in place and find out that
it "costs" them more in other ways.

For mine, I won't use them for anything more than absolutely necessary.
Yahoo groups, never via their websites.
Also, for the most part, I have given up on websites that require Adobe
Flash; not interested if I have to use Flash.

regarding flash -
I had some probs with installing and upgrading
I recently became a bit involved with scratch programming and some
investigation lead me to see that MIT use flash to render their
graphics. I embedded a simple example as proof of concept to show other
possible staff etc. I am fairly pleased with the result - the webpage
can be tidied up but I use it to test on devices, as you do. My old
Bauhn Aldi Android runs this nicely. Some Mint installations had a
problem, for me, with flash and I have a 'Dell Inspiron Manjaro laptop'
on which flash runs nicely.

What would be your reason for ditching it?
Speaking of my old Bauhn Aldi - I am having a bit of fun writing an
Android App - a restart of an old project - for fun - so far fun to
trouble ratio is high...

Second to Java as the most risky /optional/ software to have a on
computer. Besides, Flash is also far too often a resource hog as well.
Flash objects contain code that can do all sorts of things, including,
as Yahoo found out, providing malware via the Flash adverts.
If you can do without it, good. If you can't, then use it with care and
preferably only with trusted content.

If it's good enough, there might be quite a few takers. I'm betting
that a sufficiently large number of people tired of being the product
rather than the customer might go for it.
