❗️ Yahoo is still one of the most visited websites on the planet

David Crowther at Sherwood News:

Racking up an average of more than 1.6 billion page views from March to May, Yahoo is pulling in more site visits than ChatGPT, Wikipedia, X, LinkedIn, The New York Times, ESPN, and many other household names.

I knew Yahoo was still around, but I had no idea they were still this popular.

I can see why, though. After reading this I visited Yahoo.com with content blockers disabled and it's not bad. There's one large ad at the top and some autoplaying (but muted) videos sprinkled throughout, but nothing overtly annoying beyond that. It's otherwise a clean, straightforward site that avoids overwhelming visitors.
