I’m the commissioner of our home league that is now 22 years old. After over a decade on ESPN, our home league made the change to Yahoo for fantasy football 8 years ago (2018). And we all felt it was the right move every year until this past year. I listen to XM radio channel 87 about 40-50 hours per week due to my business and being able to do so, and yahoo made a large shift to AI instead of employees, laying plenty of people off. I didn’t think it would be a huge deal for us, yet all of a sudden our home league with 8 seasons on yahoo disappeared. We also do a guillotine league with the same people on yahoo. 4 of the 12 teams show our home league, the 8 do not. I’ve tried to contact them at least 7-8 times and I only get automated computer AI slop and can’t get in touch with someone to actually help. I’ve also emailed 4-5 times with the same problem. I’m ALWAYS told I’m “likely” using the wrong login account, which is impossible because I’ve been using the same one for my fantasy sports for over 2 decades now. NO HUMAN WILL RESPOND TO ME OR FIX THIS!!!! I’ve been a “Diamond” level competitor for years now, and it’s astonishing how shortsighted this trash company has become. We even collected money last season to pay for yahoo+ so we could add a few other cool scoring/matchup systems. Yet this multi billion dollar corporation has essentially sold out for AI and cutting their VERY essential human presence for more money on their end. I hate to give up my incredible record/history over the years, but this is just flat out unacceptable and a perfect example of why greedy corporate (insert bad word)’s are gonna ruin many systems over the next decade. I’m already in another long standing league that made the change to Sleeper a few weeks ago and it’s sounding like that’s what we will be doing too. I doubt many or anybody read through this novel, but if you did, beware of what yahoo fantasy sports has become. There are MANY other options that have customer service and actually care about your experience and take input, while being there to help when it’s truly needed. Yahoo has become a joke and I suspect they’ll continue to lose fantasy sport leagues to the other up n comers who aren’t being run by corporate giants who only care about money.
