“Have an interest in business”

Arie v.
1/3/24

Used to having a big interest to the business world and didn't hesitate acquiring forbes magazines to stay tuned. I always liked reading their magazines, cause there are many successful stories of different worldwide entrepeneurs. Other than that, forbes is considered to be the highest social media about financial. So, I'm a satisfied reader, fortunately, nowadays everything's digital.

“Forbes reviews are fabrications”

Ann G.
8/25/23

I will never trust a Forbes reviews again. They falsify ratings and curate reviews in order to gain customers for sub standard businesses. I got tied up with UFB Direct and AXOS Bank that took years off my life. Independent search of reviews of the company puts them at 2.5, Forbes lists them as 3.7-4. I want to make it very clear that I chose UFB because of the false/curated reviews Forbes provided.

The quality of writing on Forbes decreased over the past few years. The website layout still looks like a jigsaw puzzle. The actual print magazine is better to read. They do sometimes write bias-based articles. Regardless, they just need to improve their writing and get better editors to look over the articles before publishing them.

After it was sold, it no longer gives the same appeal it had. Wish it stayed in america where it belonged.

Forbes used to be an important source of business and finance insights... but its become increasingly trivial, unreliable, and irrelevant." David McClintick

Author Stewart Pinkerton spent 20 years as a writer and editor at 'Forbes.' His book purports to tell how Malcomb Forbes and his sons (mostly Steve) lost most of its financial assets through immense personal expenses and Steve's ($75 million) quixotic and bumbling presidential campaigns, combined with poor business decisions/leadership. Unfortunately, Pinkerton accomplishes his goal only to a limited extent - probably largely due to the Forbes empire having been a non-public entity until recently.

While the content of this site may be good, super opinionated but good, it os by far the worst site I have ever used on my phone. Just wanted to look at the pictures for a 1 through 10 ranking and it took over 10 minutes. Every time I got through 3 an add would pop up and put me back 2 pages. Load if crap in a smart phone era.

They have this pop-up page whenever you go to them from a different resource and you have to wait until reading the article. This is really uncomfotable. I came to read the article, not wait 5 sec until you show an add or whatever
