She seems to be good at getting nerds talking about Yahoo. I don't think I was ever in the target market for any of their products, and I almost forgot the company existed, until the recent controversy about the ban on remote working.

Even if you don't like their products, almost everyone is in the target market for one of their products. Mail, News, Groups, etc...

I use yahoo for groups (nearly every item of old hardware has a yahoo group[0]) and for auctions on japanese electronics, as ebay never really caught on in japan. I get good use out of yahoo finance aswell.

Uh what do you have against remote working that you're switching to Yahoo just cause they banned it?

[angli]

I understood that to mean he'd forgotten about the company until the remote-working ban controversy brought it back into the spotlight, not that he's boycotting Yahoo on the basis of its remote-working policy

[frogpelt]

Actually he thought the opposite, that said user was switching to Yahoo! because they banned remote-working on the basis that said user does not approve of remote-working.

But it is confusing.

Correct. (I have no strong opinion for/against remote working.)
