Possibly a scam
April 9, 2018

If you're looking to make some extra money writing for Listverse, don't bother. You'll waste all your time and energy preparing a list and when you send it in, you won't receive a reply. Ever. Not even a standard rejection letter. The people behind this site are rude and inconsiderate. I've also seen complaints on another review site from published writers in which claims are made of payments not being received as promised.

As for Listverse's content, several topics are constantly being recycled (I can't tell you how many serial killer lists there are). Maybe Listverse was once reputable but clearly, not anymore.

I did a lot of research and have written many articles that are currently stored in my Pad. But I won't share them, since you've never even bothered to try and respond about my previous work that seems to acknowledge extreme reality about Africa. Don't bother if you're new here!

Why should anyone listen to anything listverse has to say when they allow copyrights to be violated? Repeated attempts to have a copyrighted photo removed from their site have thus far been ignored. How would you like to create something only to have a site like this one pull your copyrighted image off the internet and use it as/whenever they please? They seem too big and powerful and feel they can do it. So... What 'else' will they do, just to get noticed? Maybe lying isn't beyond them if they'll steal. How much of their information is the truth at all if they must resort to copyright theft to get any attention at all? Repeated DMCA orders have been issued. So far...nothing has been done to remove the copyrighted work. Suggestion: Don't trust any site that steals from websites to get their material! They didn't ask. They didn't check sources, they just posted something that belongs to me.

"… love is about making brave choices every day".

Lara Jean… how much I have enjoyed her story. Of the 3 books, I think this one is my favorite, there is so much life changing decision, so much of growing up, letting teenage apart and decide of your young adult life. I felt like it was me all over again living that moment (w/o a hot boyfriend), but still, making important decisions.

The message I appreciate the most in this book is love: love for family, love for friends, love for special moments, love for people who are not with us anymore, love for new people coming into our lives, love for details…

I cannot finish this review without a shoutout to all the Harry Potter quotes… that made me love it even more.

"I guess that's part of growing up, too- saying good-bye to the things you used to love".

This site is filled with pseudoscience and misinformation verified by their team of crackpot 'experts' who literally believe they have a 'combined brainpower higher than that of Einstein'. The reality is, a team of 100 morons does not equal the combined brain power of one of the worlds greatest geniuses.

They claim that submissions need to be written in the 'highest standard of English', yet, their own guidelines page is filled with atrocious grammar errors. For example, one page contains the phrase "despite there being no possibility of whatsoever of war".

If this is what the sites admins believe constitutes the highest standard of English, they are completely and utterly deluded.

Also, the site is broken and useless.

A run-of-the-mill top 10 website with articles such as Top 10 Comic Book Villains, Ten Performers who died on stage etc. There doesn't seem to be any kind of credibility system as to why #7 is greater than #8 (for example) other than the authors opinion. And if the content weren't mediocre enough - the website treats you pop-up advertizing.

Series of multiple choice tests. And to provide your home address, phone number and email address - No result of what answers were right or wrong, or even percentage. Just a simple denial, and "good luck in your endeavors." LOL!

The founder of this site really just needs to step back and let it returned you being a simple website that is LISTS OF FACTS. Not cobbled together misinformation with Jamie Frater's truly insane and unfounded statements being interjected. It would be one thing if it was his personal blog, but it's not. It's a website that is supposed to be less a fax, not opinions. It would be one thing if it was his personal blog, but it's not. It's a website that is supposed to be lists of facts - not opinions

Only ok to waste time
February 12, 2016

Listverse is very hit and miss in the content department. Some lists are well researched and factual and state reputable sources while others are filled with errors both grammatical and factual. There's a comment section as well where you can ideally join discussions on the topic in a particular lists but more often than not it devolves into nonsensical ranting by the sites regular users and is nothing other than headache inducing trying to find or join any sort of valuable discussion. There seems to be a lot of anti American sentiment in the comments and in the lists written by the founder, Jamie Frater. And it's no use trying to address that or anything else you may find wrong in a list in the comments because if the moderators decide they don't like you your comments will be deleted or never show up in the first place. It seems to be a site with a community that is very much into their own certain groups and only the popular commenters are ever heard even though they generally have nothing intelligent to add. If you're looking for good content that's entertaining as well as a community that isn't perpetually stuck in high school then you're much better off looking to Cracked.
