Summary
About Katie Horne

Content: Yahoo then acquired a competitor eGroups (who had already merged once with ONElist, an email list service), and after merging the two entities, Yahoo branded the result Yahoo Groups. As you probably already know, Yahoo hasn't been doing well as a company over the years. In 2017, it was acquired by Verizon, which has sold off bits and pieces of the brand over the years, like Flickr and Tumblr. Benign Neglect
With that said, don't think that Verizon's acquisition of Yahoo is the root cause of Yahoo Groups' demise. Despite the popularity of digital groups, Yahoo alternated between ignoring Groups entirely and releasing features that weren't well-received by users since they seemed to make things worse. Whether the blame lies with Yahoo or not is up for debate, but what isn't up for debate is that many existing users were deeply unhappy with the changes. The Rise of Social Media
With social media sites like Facebook and Twitter on the rise, Yahoo Groups saw major competition. Before these sites became juggernauts, Yahoo tried to fight back. But unfortunately, their attempts to compete were not well-received. Facebook had its updates feed.
