The truth is that bad leadership and no clear vision led to Yahoo's decline. They went through over half a dozen CEOs in a short span and each had a different strategy.

They failed to buy Google and Facebook, instead they bought GeoCities, Tumblr, and Broadcast for billions and ran them into the ground.
