What are the benefits of using those sites?

I’ve heard Yahoo! is good for stock market trading and financial news, but haven’t heard anything else about any of them.

    Meh, I don’t particularly use it anymore, but I’ve had my Yahoo account for over 20 years, before GMail even existed. My account there still works, but I gave up on actually using them after they shut down Yahoo Groups.

    My username on Yahoo is the same as here on Lemmy. Feel free to email me, I’ll promptly never check my email LOL!

      Don’t some of those services delete your account after a couple years of non-usage?

        Apparently not Yahoo, I had actually forgot my changed password for like 7 years, then once I finally remembered the answer to my custom recovery question, I found the account was still up 👍

        I do actually check it every few months or so, spam spam spam…
