My immediate thought, there is no way Yahoo! Screen survived into 2019.
I looked it up and Yahoo! Screen (which featured Community season 6) was shutdown in January 2016. But Yahoo! View launched in late 2016 (as a Hulu-like replacement), and that did shutter in mid 2019.
So Yahoo! was already dead, but it also died for real in 2019.
I love that nobody watched anything on Yahoo! Screen except for that one season of Community
Imagine having a streaming service so bad it fails twice
Isn't that kind of Yahoo!'s business model?
Actually, when Yahoo was the search giant, before Google went mainstream, they were pretty damn good at what they did.
With how shit Google is these days, I kinda wonder if Yahoo could dust out their search engine from two decades back and it would just be... better.
Yahoo had it's own web crawler only between 2004 and 2009, then they made a deal with Microsoft to use Bing indexes, so i highly doubt they even have their old index
