Yahoo Mail is still by far the largest worldwide mail provider, counted by active users.

Moreover, in e.g. Japan, Yahoo is the start page of almost every PC, in addition to being the commonly used weather, maps, mail and news web pages. One does really see everything through a very distorted lens from the own perspective.

Keep in mind that Yahoo Japan is not wholly owned by Yahoo! Inc. Similar to its shares in Alibaba, The global company holds a minority stake in Yahoo JP (about ~35%, which puts it in second place on ownership [0]).

Fantasy Baseball and Football. And their iOS sports news app (that they bought out last year).

Yahoo Finance, sometimes.
