And yahoo itself is owned by some asset management corporation. I guess that asset management corporation is not in the business of losing money, so somehow yahoo must still have some good income sources.

Yeah, the "some asset management corporation" is Verizon Media.

It's actually Apollo Global Management. Verizon only retained 10% of the company after they sold it.

They have a finance app? It's heavily used in my circle for fantasy sports.

Interesting, I guess yahoo is especially irrelevant here in continental europe and less so in other markets.
Yahoo throwing its name into the conversation throws me right back to the bad old days of web browsers, when Yahoo’s hideous toolbar was a staple of the ‘helping your grandparents with their computer and wondering what the hell all these things are doing on the screen’ era.
It’s also making me wonder if we know what we’re really getting into with the chrome divestiture. A Yahoo chrome would make the web a worse place.
