Do you hate the new invasion of 'Trending Now' links?

Yahoo Answers has added this group of "Trending Now" links to get more revenue. Those celibratty "news" pages must pay Yahoo to get their link included in Trending Now. It is a big mess, interferes with reading the question and answers, and pushes the answers so far down, that some folks will not read as many of the answers. It actually punishes answers who are not at the top of the "relevancy" rating.

Anyone want to boycott "Trending Now"? If we refuse to click any of those links, maybe Yahoo will move it out to the side, like it should be. Next, they will start putting annoying video ads under the question! It's a game of bait and switch – bait you into participating in Yahoo Answers, and then switch the format to make it awful.

Boycott Trending Now!

    Yes it takes more time to load your question. This is another way Yahoo is trying to get past AdBlocker to make you see advertising.
