Is! Yahoo! still! a! thing!?!
Surprisingly, they're still in the top 10 most visited websites. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-visited_websites
I wouldn't be surprised if it's because their stock data and viewing is pretty mature and a lot of people would go for that alone.

My Hotmail address turns 24 this year. Still used for signups
About 20,000 unread messages 😂

I still use a @ymail
