From Yahoo! to yea....
Long ago, when the Internet was still in its Infancy, Yahoo! was my go to site. From getting information to pinging exercises. Heck, even now, I have to re-train my handss' memory muscle from typing that address. And sometime in the 2010's, I realised it has some nice Storage facility. I did not check that out since I was busy Dropbox and Google's.
To be honest, I really did not know they had storage space as I only use their Email. I later found out that the touted to be 'Unlimited' Storage Space was later reduced to 1TB. And now...

The Trap: Nothing is Free, even later.
So, if you want your 1TB back, you have to pay for it, of course. By now, nothing is free. You'll have to pay the 'compensation' later on. This is so common on the Internet where they give you free stuff and convenience to hook you in, and once the numbers are there, you have a very, very challenging time to get yourself out from that hole.
Just like Credit Cards.
How now, brown cow
I'm not sure about you but since I only use Yahoo! for Emails, I am not to concerned. But for many others, USD9.99/month might not be so bad. Sadly, that's MYR42.77 per month which is about three and a half lunch for me.
There are other alternatives such (ahem) Google Drive, Dropbox, Thumbdrives, Hard Disks and so on. Alternatively, stop growing your pron collection.
