In case they bias against certain referring domains, you might want to wash your last-sites trail by going somewhere else, first, or manually copying the link into a new tab.
Having not paid attention in some years, I can say that it used to be crazy common before the public knew what cookies did, .. and can still be done with bent certs, or common third-party origins (ad networks), or browsers owned by espionage interests or nations, or even cross-platform permissions from big mails or big socials.
(Or the entire shitbird OS, like Win10.)
Much of this rubber-stamped by Communication Acts or National Defense Authorization Acts. And although VPNs can hide an IP, unique info being revealed across the tunnel obviates protocol addresses being required for identification.
All it really takes is some manner of cooperation or collusion between any of the people involved in any of the remote requests between the various sites being visited, directly, or any of the items or functions they might commonly load.
My only point was .. lefty sites rarely play straight. Most would sooner blackhole votes from blacklisted referrers than allow a poll to reach an organic conclusion.
I don't think Lefties care about anyone's opinions anyway. It's all just for show. They're going to do what they want. Sort of like how they view elections and the legislative process.
Thats been going on for atleast a few weeks. When bubba "the noose" wallace story hit they started to hide the message boards from those stories for atleast a few hours.
Wow. Yahoo comments have been based for some time Now. Yahoo was one of the first places I ever started commenting, and I was trolled relentlessly by leftie fsggots. Eventually the mods shadow-banned my comments. I could write and post comments but they wouldn’t show up. I go back years later and see the comments becoming more and more based.
Yahoo comments are insanely based despite yahoo journalism going par in terms of leftist bias. Several YouTube comments also based. That’s what happens when websites comment sections don’t get astroturfed and censored to death.
Looks like yahoo is making a move, probably write a letter to David Brock asking for intervention in the comment sections. How soon til yahoo comments end up with a handful of shills on multiple accounts talking to themselves
I always found MSN to be based as well. I think it's because these sites are the landing pages for much of the online population, and more representative of what actual people think. Lefties always had to go seek out their echo chambers like reddit.
On social media like Instagram, if a celebrity, politician, or news page has a specific image with comments turned off, I automatically assume the comments were NOT in line with the message.
Think that’s funny? Guess how hilarious it is when I see comments at The Hill that claim that The Hill is far right...THE HILL...far RIGHT..,that’s when you know the majority of the comments are just trolls.
A friend's grand dad used to tell us stories about the times when Radio was a new technology, and everyone used to run a amateur radio club, there was hardly any regulation and no large radio stations, and he used to describe the amazing discussions people used to have over these radios.
For those who remember the internet bulletin boards, this was like the olden day version of that. He used to tell us that no matter what, Internet will get privatized, just like radio. We never believed it, because it sounded so absurd. But everything happening on social media is pretty much that.
A handful of companies are owning the Internet airways - and free speech fully suppressed. I think its time to create a alt-web.
Eternal September was the first gasp of privatization. It used to take some level of skill just to join a BBS or IRC instance. Once the powers that be figured out that there was money to be made the die was cast. Portals allowed a huge amount of control over content and made it easy for noobs to navigate.
Oh man, I had forgotten those AOL CDs you would find everywhere. Free coasters lol. But yeah, they killed the BBS subculture. Do you remember the kind of netiquette that was required to use BBS at that time? You had to be ready to defend anything you said. Even the worst screaming matches were so respectful. Miss those golden days.
I do. Prior to the CD's it was floppys. I do miss the quality discourse. We have more here than most places, thankfully. With the advent of the portals, trolling became an art form for the pre-Eternal September sysops and users. I admit to occasionally letting my troll out from under the bridge when people drive by a submission here and drop a stupid opinion or post flat out racist or commie bullshit. He's lethargic and not quite as fast with the pop culture references, but still remembers all the tricks.
there was a guy for yahoo that used to get called out every time for being a shit writer so often that he stopped having yahoo publish his name and instead was listed as "staff"
The comment section on Yahoo was being manipulated for a while. You would expect that since the same user base visits the website everyday that you would get similar likes and comment ratios on each story. But it's like I would click on one story and there would be a bunch of right leaning comments, all highly upvoted, but then click on another story and the comments would all be left leaning and upvoted. I'm pretty sure Yahoo was hiding certain stories from their right leaning commenters.
I can confirm, my work computer and personal computer always had different articles on the front. I've had the obama I didn't say that story up all day.
NPR did the same thing during the 2016 election for the exact same reason. Although they claimed it was so that there would be a single thread for discussion on Facebook.
gab.com created their dissenter browser which allows you to comment on ANY webpage. But only people using Dissenter.com browser can see the comments so not sure how useful it really is until Dissenter gets massively popular.
More fool them. Actually going on Yahell! news for actual objective “he said/they said” news is a fools errand. That’s if the site even loads even after being de-crapped with Ghostery and AdGuard.
Even the headlines are real eye rollers.”ORANGGGGE MANN BAAAAD MMMKAY”
I use yahoo for mail, rarely and yahoo finance, which is way better than google finance. Google finance somehow manages to shoehorn wokeness into news about dry financial data.
Yardbarker did the same thing. Once people started calling out their BS on the Bubba Nascar crap, they got rid of comments and replaced them with a link to Reddit.
No sign-in. Hit it up!

They're using SurveyMonkey. Last I knew, there was no way to track referring domains.

most of the more recent comment would still apply.
And feedback given!
Yeah noticed today they are selectively leaving off the comments sections on certain stories. Their editorial staff are all biased major left.

It’s not leftist bullshit without some form of censorship.

I generally assume the entire story is fake when you cannot comment.
It's really easy to see the machine in action this way.
If it's a story that MAY result in orange man bad comments they are wide open.
Drag Queen Story Hour (For children in a library), clossssed.
Those sites which open them for some stories and close them for others are the top of the list to avoid.
WSJ was like that too. Finally stopped paying for it when I realized the readers were better than the articles.
Yep. Even their most conservative writers turned during the Obama administration
Think that’s funny? Guess how hilarious it is when I see comments at The Hill that claim that The Hill is far right...THE HILL...far RIGHT..,that’s when you know the majority of the comments are just trolls.
I used to drop a lot of red-pills in there. I had a feeling this was coming. I've seen it on a lot of other sites.
The internet died when Imdb closed its message boards in 2017.
Legit a very sad day. There was pressure from major studios who weren't happy with the comment backlash against woke shit like Ghostbusters 2016.
same I loved trolling those things. My go to was why do you hate America?
Same shit happened in Sweden. People were calling out the newspapers biased bullshit and then, boom, gone.
Of course... Yahoo! comment sections were always overwhelmingly conservative. Just more election interference by big tech.

Blockchain/Ethereum is looking to do just that. Web3.0. Everything decentralized. I really hope it works.

The comments section was really the only thing yahoo had going for it.
Funny and sad to see them self-destruct like this.

I told them that "Verizon should step in and clean out the leftist infestation from Yahoo."
mods this should be stickied
So tired of PC faggots
Yahoo won't even allow comments on many of their latest articles as god forbid they ruin the narrative.
Reading the yahoo comments is one of my favorite pastimes. Commies gotta Commie. So sick of this.
More fool them. Actually going on Yahell! news for actual objective “he said/they said” news is a fools errand. That’s if the site even loads even after being de-crapped with Ghostery and AdGuard.

Done. I told them that removing comments will eliminate whatever is left in the appeal of their site.
I've had my yahoo email account since like 1998 honestly no real reason to even go there if you cant read comments.
I use Yahoo as my junk mail account. It's the ONLY reason I have a Yahoo account.
I use it as my main but that's only cause I've had it for so long. I have a gmail account too but I dont really use it much.

Whats a good alternative to yahoo that still has comments?
I deleted my Yahoo account the other day. Protonmail for me.
Yardbarker did the same thing. Once people started calling out their BS on the Bubba Nascar crap, they got rid of comments and replaced them with a link to Reddit.
