Its amazing to see Yahoo news articles have their responses screened by their employees before being posted on the site.
A recent tech article had their 'tech expert' giving praise to a telecom company's 4G network's excellent connection speed... how he could see videos and play games, etc so much that he did not notice a difference between it and his cable modem. The download speed? a blazing 4mbit!!! (insert praises and flowers to telecom company).
thing is.. he was posting that in a 24 hour period he had used a whopping 2.5 mb of data just browsing stuff.
So.. you submit a reply to his article telling him very formally that he is incorrect (you exceed 2.5 mb just by loading 2 or 3 pages on yahoo thanks to the images being downloaded) and that 3rd world countries that use 3G networks already exceed 5mbit speeds as of last year so just what is it he is celebrating about?
The reply never materializes in their website.. but tons of 'excellent article' and other supportive replies do pop up. Sign in under a different login, type in a random praise... submit... and its up in less than 5 minutes.
Yahoo news has turned its news section into advertisement revenue source. No wonder they going broke
