    Overtime, websites die. It costs money to host all of this on servers. If it's not making a profit it will die.

    It's just old and barely used. It happens to most services online.

    Because 1) corporations are greedy and don't want to spend the money and 2) users ruin it so we can't have nice things.

    Weirdly, you'd think they'd have shut it down back when they pretty much refused to fix the bugs for so long.

    They want to contain their propaganda, Trump has more supporters on Yahoo. DNC ordered yahoo to shut it down.

    Probably because it's no longer profitable to maintain.
