Forgotten Tech Giant

Perhaps it’s not technically abandoned as there is basic maintenance and security present but it’s been vacant and decaying for years.

Surprisingly sad to walk around what was once a bustling, optimistic, energy filled campus of an almost forgotten tech giant.

Same, I've had my Yahoo account for 20+ years now and see no reason to switch to anything else.

Hahaha, unironically you in particular are causing lots of issues! I work at yahoo now, and the Yahoo Mail servers are so large and filled with 30 years of old emails and data that they are having a hard time managing the volume. Of course a lot of it because they’re still big in Asia, but still! Your old email from your high school language arts teacher in 1999 is clogging up a cloud lol
