You make it sound like people who object are automatically part of the ‘something for nothing’ crowd. Prior to the update Yahoo mail did not attempt to cover costs/generate revenue through email scanning or outright charging a fee.
After having relative email privacy from the beginning (to the knowledge of the user), suddenly having private communications scanned simply does not sit well, especially with the recent gov’t snooping on every American everywhere (execpt for muslims).
My point exactly...
Odd. I've been paying for Yahoo! Plus mail for 7 years now. Main reason was so I could get POP3 mail services from Yahoo! for use with Windows Outlook Express mail.
My how time flies. I just looked up my Yahoo! account info, and I’ve been paying $19.99 per year since March of 2002.
No price increase in 10 years ain’t too shabby.
