I open yahoo mail, and I see a 728x90 px bright oranging brown ad banner glaring at me. I click an email and I see a 728x90 bright green ad banner. Below the list of mail folders, I'm informed that I can get a $200,000 Loan Only $771/Mo.! Above the list of mail folders I notice a helpful Mastercard logo. "Ugly Credit? Attractive Card." Also, did you know that Netflix is $5.99/mo. No Late Fees! Yahoo taught me this, and I didn't even have to ask.

I open gmail and I see a tiny list of text links I can easily ignore. This is why I use gmail, if for no other reason. Though there are many more reasons Yahoo is trash. It's the archetypical site with a million features all of which are trash and half of which are ads. Their new homepage is trash, but so was the old one.
