Did Yahoo remove my home page?

This morning when I opened my browser I noticed My Yahoo, my home page for over 30 years was gone. It instead it is redirecting to the generic Yahoo home page yahoo.com. Is this intentional or is something broken on Yahoo?

That's ususally related to clearing your browser cache Hokie Dec 12 #5

For example if you had a software update on your computer or browser. It may have logged you off.

I mean the configurers and conjurors of the internets. I've had a few occasions these weeks where I've been logged out of everything. Yahoo too.

If you clear your browser cache then you have to log in to most web sites again. I have had to do that to fix certain issues. However in this case I have tried multiple browsers and multiple devices. Yahoo must have decided there were not enough of us relics who used my.yahoo to keep supporting it. Another motivation that might be driving this change is that now Yahoo can force on me the news and articles they want to promote instead of allowing me to customize my experience.

Seems like a question for Yahoo support. If there isn't anyone answering queries, then I guess you get what you pay for ....

I searched Yahoo and used their chatbot but found nothing. To talk to a real person you have to sign up for their premium support.
