Everything that Overture & Yahoo do seems to have just one objective - strip people off money and off as much money as possible without giving a damn if they are happy with their services or not.
The biggest rip-off is that b***dy Overture budgeting feature where you can't get back to manual refill after choosing one of the budgeting options and it takes 3 or 4 phone calls to their support to make them restore this feature!
Another royal rip-off is site match where you obligatorily have pay additional $50 basically for nothing! It is done to discourage spammers you say? - B***ocks!
Spammers are a lot better discouraged by penalizing their sites by modified algos - again if you still have human review of each site as you claim - why not just get hard on them there and say - you either correct this and that or your site's not going to contaminate our SERPs!

I might not even get those ~ 333 clicks ($50/0.15) at all - I might want to close my site or my niche is very specific - why do I have to pay for nothing?

I do understand that you have to be smart and sly in business but most of Yahoo's policies well above that! It's called cynical deceit - how does that combine with the PR image you're trying to build ah?

If you don't scrutinize and rescrutinize a single line of their terms for this or that service you gonna get ripped-off big time - how do I hate all that!

I am ready to pray to all gods the humanity knows so that Yahoo runs bankrupt next fiscal year and their ads market is taken by somebody with a more honest approach to customers.
