MyHeritage bombs his users with hundreds of copied mistakes in other users trees and the duplicating of mistakes never ends! As a starting user you haven't the possibility to communicate with other users, so you cannot tell them how wrong the information is and you cannot tell anybody that the proposed matches are mismatches. MyHeritage continues to give you info with which you cannot do anything because you have to upgrade your free account to do that, but that costs you a lot of money. Other good genealogy sites, p. E. geneanet.com offer better possibilities for free! Even Geni.com, owned by MyHeritage, offers info for free.The so called sources for which you have to pay a lot of annual contribution money are often very wrong, not real sources or real matches, but just genealogysites of other users with uncertified information, mostly free to get on other sites as FamilySearch, Geni.com, Ancestry.com, Geneanet.org, WeRelate.org, etc.

Why are somany persons working with MyHeritage, are they so stupid, or am I so smart?

Geni doesn't accept any critical comment about the site, the customer-service or the management. Geni has in that regard the mentality of North Korea! Every free user, paying user and even any curator who publishes negative comments will be suspended and indefinitely blocked from working on Geni!

Geni is a site for hints and pointers, but not usable as a base for the results of your own research!
If you want to use Geni you have to keep your research results on your own computer's hard-disk and copy between it and Geni, that's the only way to keep your results in good condition, because on Geni you're never sure that other users will not change, delete or ruin your data!
Every day thousands of users add incorrect information and relations, after being sent daily hints with profiles and trees from MyHeritage. Any madman can make his own tree on MyHeritage and many do, unfortunately are there many people who fantasize ancestors to look important and all this $#*! Is copied to Geni!

There are no instructions on how to work on the site, even the curators who work voluntarily to improve Geni don't know how everything works.
Geni for a long time suffered from very bad management and customer service for basic users. Now there is a new CEO, who is an excellent software engineer, but lacking competent support he isn't able to improve the Geni site in line with the quality of other genealogy sites. Customer service generally is now worse than it ever was.
As free basic user there are too many limitations and too many pop ups with requests to upgrade to become a paying user.
The search tool is very weak and is annoying with continuous request pop-ups to upgrade, it is easier to search via Google with adding "site: Geni.com" than to search as a Geni user!
For a collaboration site there are too many private limitations and too many duplicates making it very difficult and annoying working when at every step you have a pop up extorting you to upgrade to paying membership.

Biggest Pro's: More than 70,000,000 by blood-relation or marriage with another connected profiles, dynamic tree-view, some kind of a relation-path/lineage counting, multilingual, social and research forum for users, project-collaboration.
Biggest Con: Unreliable profiles, missing or wrong sources for the data and relations, easy vandalism that can ruin your inputs, poor software for projects editing, poor search-engine, bad profile displays, no gedcom uploads, limited and bad gedcom downloads.
