HowStuffWorks

The website is so useful and game changer especially for the younger generation when they just move out and have so much stuff to learn.

I joined the site and found loads of mean girls on here reporting anyone who does not agree with them. I talked about an herbal tea that was helping me recover from my health problems and because they hadn't heard of it in western countries I was attacked viciously and I mean viciously. I was reported to the site by multiple mean girls who mobilized to shut me up and some women became downright hysterical. It's like being in high school and the site is run by the mean girls. Even long time members who saw what was done to me admitted it was extreme and they were considering leaving. I got nasty messages from members and from the site administration. I left. I was sharing my experience to try help others and that's not allowed. Second, the site is watching everything you write about saying that it worked for you so they can develop products to sell to you later. This is simply a very large market research site and we give them all the data they need to make money off of our medical or mental health issues. I found the site predatory. You watch. They owners of this site will sell you "cures" and "treatments" later on down the line under a different company name. This isn't a site setup just to help. They need to make money somehow and this site is their market research arm.
