Yahoo.com
Search Results Limited to Paying Sites, So I Cancelled Email

Now that you charge for sites to list with you, I know that my searches will return fewer results. Why would I search with Yahoo, knowing I am not seeing everything, only the information from companies who can afford, or are willing to afford, to pay?

The answer is, I wouldn't. I will tell all my clients not to, and I have cancelled my Yahoo email, bill pay and everything else I used to do with you. I will tell everyone I know that Yahoo is only displaying results from paying businesses, so we can't expect to see the smaller companies that can't afford to be in your engine, or the ones like me that could but refuse on principle.

You are setting a standard that will be your downfall, mark my words. We know you are not the only one, but we had grown to count on you to keep the Internet a place for the people, not the rich people. Now you have bent over and let commerce push you toward less service and more money for you. I hope that, in the long run, you are very sorry you did that. You have ruined everything I was loyal to you for, and I will never return or forgive it.

This is a blatant disregard for the way people wish things were. You should be forced to have a disclaimer in large letters at the front of your search engine warning users that only paid subscribers are listed there. Shame on you. I am repulsed.
