  • Google

Google's search functionality is pretty good, and it definitely blows bing out of the water. Google will try to fool you and make the site seem cute, with its rainbow pastel colors and little google doodles. However, they keep logs of all your searches and personal information. In 2019, it's parent company was sued for collecting personal data from children. Their business seems to only be interested in making money, and they don't care about child safety. I'm a minor myself, so it's very upsetting to know that they harvested my personal data.

Tip for consumers:
Be careful!

  • Quora

1/25/21

In my opinion, Quora is a fairly toxic community. Over half of the users are people who claim to have a PhD degree from Ivy League schools. Users give sub-par answers and sprinkle in various scientific terms that don't apply to the topic, presumably to give the impression of being smarter to other users.

Tip for consumers:
You should know that you need to sign up to view content on the website.

  • Yahoo

10/13/20

Yahoo is a fairly decent website business, but the design is outdated compared to other websites like Google or Bing. The news content is scraped from other websites and the search engine is powered by bing. For example, the site packs too many ads in its search results and email service. Additionally, there isn't any reason to use yahoo when there are better alternatives out there. Maybe I don't like it because I'm 15 years old, so I'm not really part of their userbase.

Tip for consumers:
Get an adblocker

  • Codecanyon

This website sells wordpress plugins and PHP scripts for your website. The support system is very flawed as you have to use a public comments section, so anyone can see your sensitive information. Some authors provide good plugins, but there are a lot of outdated crappy plugins too. You get 6 months of support but you can buy more for a fee. The good thing is you get lifetime update free. I recommend purchasing credible plugins that have lots of sales and good reviews, otherwise you won't be satisfied.

  • Lickety!

4/5/19

Lickety has a beautiful start page and I love it
Delivers great results and is amazing overall I rate it 5 stars.

  • Sitejabber

4/4/19

Sitejabber.com is a great website for writing reviews about various websites and businesses. Users can write reviews, check their profiles, and see how many upvotes and views your content received. I like this website more than yelp and the other alternatives, because of its unique feature set and user interface.

Tip for consumers:
Keep writing good reviews to receive more views
