Christina D.

As the largest living generation, Millennials are a demographic every brand wants to charm. Here's how to do it.

“Clickbait for Business People”

Will S.
5/8/22

. Inc's articles are largely devoid of actual content. The site frequently spams Google's news aggregators with articles that claim "masterclasses of emotional intelligence" and other things of the like, but said articles do nothing to back up the assertion. Instead, the authors typically opine very shallowly that they agree with the points being made. On the few occasions the authors do try to actually provide evidence, the evidence provided either contains factual inaccuracies or is actually completely unrelated to the topic at hand.

Your story about Carson Tesch is not accurate. Did Tom Foster not do his research? Carson Tesch has sexually assaulted 2 women that worked at his company. He punched his daughter in her face at the Christmas party in 2022 and then went outside and almost shot and killed an employee. It has been said there is an investigation into him embezzling millions of dollars from his former employee to start his company. I have 2 case numbers against him. He knows nothing about business and he screams and yells at employees. Carson did not make 17 million dollars on his own. This man also uses the N word all the time, regularly. He is not well liked amongst companies in Oklahoma.

Tip for consumers:
Just don't read it.

There were a few articles that grabbed my attention early on in my experience with inc magazine. So when it asked for a $2 a month subscription to keep viewing i was ok with that. Then the articles i started seeing were frustrating to me because the authors seem to have a big admiration for business people that i feel are predatory. Ie jeff bezos. So i decided i wanted to cancel my sub bc i do not want to pay money for something that is frustrating and not helpful to me. Wow! Instead of making it possible to cancel they say (through their website) that someone will call you to discuss it. Which never happened by the way. So essentially they are making easy to sign up and refusing to cancel when you don't want it. But hey i guess that's why they are praising people that are predatory...

Oct. 31/18. I tried to read an online article on Inc.com using my desktop's Firefox browser and had barely two inches of reading space because of the giant header, and two overlapping (and thus useless) footers that took up the rest of screen. It was so annoying and distracting! I tried to scroll down to the bottom of the webpage to get to the 'contact us' or 'feedback' section (where it's traditionally located on websites) and instead of being able to scroll, I kept getting newly populated crap articles that wouldn't let me ever actually get to the bottom of the page.

Whoever designed this site either didn't test it on Firefox before launching (pretty ridiculous considering the browser's popularity) or doesn't know how to design a website.

I promise you, I will never visit the Inc.com website again, and certainly won't link any Inc.com articles to my website or LinkedIn pages. The last thing I want to do is piss off my profile viewers or website visitors by sending them to this annoying website.

Geez!

Autoplay videos and MLM BS. Never use this website! Does not respect users at all. Stop behaviour like this and people will use your website.

I find it amazing that out of 5000 companies not a single company was owned by a Russian owner. Considering I know several Russian business owners that would certainly qualify for this list all I can determine is that Inc.com is incredibly prejudiced towards Russia and Russians. This leads me to have to dismiss this magazine as a fraud since now I have to wonder how many of these businesses paid off Inc.com to get on their list and how much were the bribes based on how high they made the list? Completely offended and disgusted with what I thought was a respectable magazine.

Page took several attempts to load, so bogged down with trackers, links, and advertising images. The content was disappointing and did not live up to the clickbaity marketing. Somewhere drowning in the trackers and advertising may be some good content, but I won't be there to find out. Some sites use you hard, this is one for sure.

Read a couple of articles, It really seems like this site exists just to pedal MLM's like solar sungrade and $#*!. Its presented as professional but looking into it, it really feels like a scam

They had a drop down ad that didn't have the option to go away. Then as your scrolled down the very well written article a video would pop up that would take away even more screen area. If you clicked anywhere by accident it opened another window and sent you to the website of that particular ad. What the reader was left with was about two lines of the article that he could see. The article was well written but wasn't worth reading through all the junk. It seems such an easy website fix. People are there to read the article that they selected not to go shopping. Their professionalism is completely lost because of the advertising that they throw at the reader.

"Inc.com, the website for Inc. magazine, delivers advice, tools, and services, to help business owners and CEOs start, run, and grow their businesses more successfully. You'll find information and advice covering virtually every business and management task, including marketing, sales, finding capital, managing people, and much, much more".

I copied and pasted the above from their about us section it seemed quicker and accurate. The statement and description are true. I say this based on their articles, interviews with the best in the business, interviews are the best form of insight given the journalist asks the right questions, I find the site truly inspiring. Their findings are supported by those using the very same advice, I feel like i'm reading gold as appose to statistics or round about truths that circulate the business world, It couldn't get any better for me than this unless i was interviewing Paul Graham myself, But best left to Max Chafkin. I have 3 or 4 sites i visit regularly for the inside scope I can't say it's my favourite as Entrepreneur and a few others all deliver the same quality it's like asking me to choose between the cult and oasis, couldn't do it.
