Yahoo blocked

[kashmirix]

The last update blocked all Yahoo! services by adding the naked domain yahoo.com in Hosts/GoodbyeAds.txt. This needs to be reverted asap.

Yep. Recent updates have just been blanket banning all kinds of legitimate websites. I won't be using this list again; highly reckless behaviour.

I disabled the "Goodbye Ads" filter in my NextDNS because of this issue. I agree that blocking yahoo.com in full is unacceptable and hope it's corrected soon.

four whole days and yet no action..... are we hitting the breakpoint?

[aLostEngineer]

Almost 2 months and NOTHING. This list is abandonware and I'm removing it from NextDNS. @jerryn70 how about addressing user complaints and NOT blocking entire swaths of the internet? just a thought since your list increasingly SUCKS recently.

Edit: I have requested NextDNS remove this list from the suggested blocklists due to erroneous and prejudicial blocking.

Fixed

[naturalpb]

@jerryn70 I'm glad that you fixed this particular issue, but I am concerned that it took 1.5 months to correct it after causing significant issues for users of the list. I'm unwilling to trust using this list again unless guarantees are made about future support.

[Deathbyteacup]

Yep, too little, too late - completely reckless behaviour, and a completely unacceptable response / time to respond. List is completely untrustworthy, and should be closed.

I fully support the closure of this list due to negligence, poor response time, and blatant disregard for customer needs.

[kashmirix]

Yep. Introducing untested changes that significantly affect unintended targets and then disregarding immediate multiple notifications from users is not a way to develop this type of software, even if it's free. I also support removal.

The yahoo.com entry remained in the filter file. This MR resolves the issue. @jerryn70 can you please merge?
