This joke of a news site is just that, a JOKE. You all need to get a life and stop acting like a real news site.
OMG
Content-wise, the quality is marginal, and you'd be better off subscribing to other publications. (Try ProPublica or local independent sources like Block Club Chicago or Voice of San Diego.)
The real issue is that you sign up for 2 years. In that 2 years, you'll forget you're subscribed. They will not send you an email about your impending auto-renewal. When you get smashed with a $179 charge, and try to cancel, they will only let you cancel *future* subscriptions and tell you your current subscription is ongoing.
If you email them, they point you to a FAQ that says the same thing -- you're stuck for the next 2 years.
The only way to cancel your current subscription is to dispute the charge through your credit card company.
This is a $#*!ty way to do business. Extorting and strong-arming people is not ethical. Also, they should at least send an email about impending renewals. But in general, forcing people to use your product does not say much for the product.
The reason the subscription period is 2 years is now apparent -- so you'll forget about it. It's scammy and scummy.
What a disgrace for journalism. Most, if not all, of their articles are untrustworthy. They use big head lines to fool you to pay for subscription. I am not an idiot to believe in those stories. They make you pay for reading their make up stories. Double scam.
It is a political tool and scram. No lower limit. No moral. No credit. It is a political tool and scram. No lower limit. No moral. No credit. It is a political tool and scram. No lower limit. No moral. No credit.
I, one individual have had business insider subscriptions in the past. I have had fraudulent charges on multiple seperate occasions. I canceled my membership on two separate occasions and the charges kept rolling in
Don't bother subscribing or worse buying their subscription, you won't be able to Cancel your subscription via the account profile the button doesn't work, the unscribing newsletter doesn't work either. I had to cancel authorization payment via Paypal to make sure that i won't be charged again. Many red flags that should just show any customers how this business is just on cash grab any legit subscription Newspaper allow any user to cancel their subscription without hassle in few clicks... The so called
4- 'Choose 'Don't bill me again' Button doesn't exist... maybe they will re-implement them after my review to show people that i was lying or creating BS...-5 Stars...
This site is not informative. It writes what you want to hear: gossip. I am younger than 15 and even after one look I could tell that this site is lying to you. It is so obvious that I don't know why people give it better than a two star rating. For example, in the article 10 Vices That Are Actually Good For You, it states that smoking marijuana is good for you because according the the American Journal of Medicine, 16 percent of people who smoke have lower fasting insulin levels and smaller waist circumferences. However, it "forgets" to mention that a more recent study by the American Journal of Medicine showed that people who smoke marijuana have higher odds of stroke and myocardial infarction or coronary artery disease, with a possible role in premature cardiovascular disease. Also people who smoke marijuana have changes in brain maturation and intellectual function, including decreases in intelligence quotient.
In conclusion, please don't read the BusinessInsider.
Yep, you read that right, and no, I'm not exaggerating, and that's only from known trackers, imagine how many more backdoor deals with your info are taking place!
There is an image attached of how many KNOWN trackers were caught, I was there for less than a minute!
Business Insider's articles lack fact, substance or high quality reporting. They claim to be a business news source yet their "articles" seem more appropriate to be in tabloids rather than claiming to be a credible news source.
If this rag didn't have Trump to hate on, they couldn't publish a single story. They're low life pond sumb
This is the worst company I have ever seen. They are full of lies. Seriously, get out while you can.
This site and this so-called business journal is a joke and a rip-off. They are a political tool, have no actual important information, and their reporter Julia Black is a racist.
100 character minimum? Don't need that much to say these people are sad excuses for human beings pretending to be journalists.
Just an absolute disgrace to journalism. Unethical practices that create a horrible narrative for all journalists in the world.
Business Insider calls itself "journalism". However, it appears they are actually hack activists. How bottom of the barrel do you have to be to work there?
Fake news, hit price writing, dirty, agenda driven, cancel culture supporting, lying no good excuse for journalism.
To describe having to show a photo ID in order to vote as "voter suppression" is absurdly dishonest. Millions of Americans of all political points of view did not like or want a repeat of the questionable actions by many during the 2020 election. Describing bi-partisan legislation by individual states to reduce opportunity for fraud as "voter suppression" is just insulting to the states and the people living there. Extreme actions motivated by loathing of one man skewed the election. We now have the first Senile puppet President. Democrats knew before the election Biden was incompetent but the lust for power and the loathing (He's not one of us) drove them on. Not the interests of the nation. Partisanship before the public interest. Pelosi was seeking to form a committee to enact the 25th Amendment before the election. She was asked "Is this for Trump?" She said "No".
This media company is presenting propaganda as news. Mis/dis information styled for dissemination to a demographic. Falsehoods. They dispense much of it free but mostly they want subscribers.
To view any of their articles you need to create an account and put a card on file.
After a certain point they just lock the content and there is no way to view anything without being forced to make an account. It's ridiculous at this point.
Answer: Principia Scientific International and realclimatescience.com are both run by honest and worthy people who present unbiased and truthful information as it is. They are realistic about what they present, and they have a little bias as possible. As for emotional wounds you may have, Principia scientific and realclimatescience.com are like ointment, rather than the salt that BI gives.
Answer: They don't have one! A robot is mailing you if you don't complete the purchase, if you stupid enough to go through, which I did. E mailed the robot about the receipt, no answer whatsoever. STAY AWAY
Answer: It's a scam and part of the scam mainstream media. On top of providing either false or fear mongering information, it rubs salt in your wounds whenever it can.
