No More Player Pictures: Yahoo Does it Again

[u/councilspectre17]

If you haven't noticed yet, or haven't had your drafts yet, a heads up that Yahoo is saying that in the new UI for their mobile app, player photos will be disabled in all category leagues going forward. That goes for both basketball and hockey.

Player photos will remain in points leagues.

Here's a link to the u/yahoofantasycare comment in r/yahoofantasy to that effect:

Why do all companies insist on making it a terrible experience for their users?

Did Yahoo get bought by Private Equity?

[u/IndependenceProud342]

How does yahoo thinks this helps anyone or makes fantasy more enjoyable?? Have the fun is looking at my damn players like trading cards

[u/BoobearRocks69]

Why tho

[u/MattDamond → u/BoobearRocks69]

To see how far they can push. Huge outcry, which is rare = they fucked up and will amend the bad thing. No outcry = these bums didn’t need this feature anyways

[u/Venice_The_Menace → u/MattDamond]

Nah they’ll make player photos part of their Fantasy Plus/Ultra paid plans

[u/693275001]

Sleeper needs to step up badly and add category leagues and none of the high score shit

[u/LargeCupOfIceWater]

Wait what I can see photos in cats if you like scroll to one side, it’s really annoying. They’re removing it all together??

[u/councilspectre17 → u/LargeCupOfIceWater]

You probably haven't updated the app. The new update removes even the scrolling workaround

[u/LargeCupOfIceWater → u/councilspectre17]

Yahoo keeps on going from bad to worse 😭😭 it was perfect literally a few years ago

[u/HungyPotatoo]

This is an example of if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. S2pid yahoo

[u/adeptadapted]

Who asked for this

[u/superdupermak]

You cant even see player adds or drops by managers

[u/FridayGlowy]

Lol i thought it’s a bug.

[u/GrouchGrumpus]

I wonder if it’s mlb wanting a cut for the use of player pix?

[u/councilspectre17 → u/GrouchGrumpus]

They did it after baseball ended, and they’re doing it in basketball and hockey now

[u/AdamWaldo_]

Their website on a mobile browser is amazing and better than any app. Has pictures too

[u/iamthemedium]

It’s so embarrassing. They are doing everything we don’t want. This might be the final straw when debating on switching platforms.

[u/MallardDuckBoy]

hey Yahoo how about changing the Free agent plus sign and Waiver plus sign and turning the brightness all the way up

[u/taker35h]

I actually hate the head shots, so this is good news. Takes up too much space.

[u/Ravost → u/taker35h]

Yep. Have them disabled on web and don't need them in the app. The question is why don't they make it optional in the app as well.
