Censorship
March 1, 2025

I realized today that Forbes checks all comments before posting, so they encourage comments, unless you disagree with their narrative. These liberal news outlets will never get it. Free speech, not even close at Forbes.

Trash magazine

Forbes articles are not truthful, if they don't like someone they will continue to lie about that person. I found at least 7 that were not truthful, will never again

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.

Daily read forbes
December 28, 2023

I daily read Forbes. Not I am not going to mimic billionaire lifestyle, but I wish to. There's a belief that forbes is either for those who have already reached success in life or for those who understand that they will never be able to attaing such heights and prefer leaf through pages enviously.
Can't state that I refer myself to some of these groups. For me it's a source of valuable;e financial knowledge in the first place. Back in the day I spent money on paper version, but nowadays everything is digital around us.

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.

Content of Forbes has a relatively low value/quality as news. Articles are reverse-engendered to serve as bait for clicks and successful content is re-used multiple times. If you need well written, informative content, Forbes may be for you but if you need up to date information and news, look at a more serious source.

THE SITE IS HORABLE
January 14, 2023

If you do not mind constant emails that you ask to be unsubscribed from and constant pop ups about surveys and newsletters, this online magazine/news/etc. Would be great. However if you would like to read a single article without being interupted by a pop up of some kind, do not buy this subscription. You cannot get a response from their tech about anything.

Forbes company created a 12,800 acre, 3500 lot, subdivision in Missouri called Forbes Lake of the Ozarks Park in 1983-1984, but they failed to bother to get the legally required Missouri Department of Natural Resources approvals to make this subdivision a legal subdivision. Now Missouri DNR has decided to go after all the current lot owners and after the private Forbes Land Owners Association due to Forbes company not following the subdivision laws at that time. Missouri DNR is now considering it illegal for 3500 lot owners, who have been paying taxes and association dues for almost 40 years, from building on or re-selling their lots. This (retroactive) regulating from DNR against those who bought lots in Forbes LOA subdivision in good faith over the last 40 years, believing the subdivision was a legal subdivision, is harming 3500 lot owners. Forbes should step up and do whatever is now required by Missouri DNR to make Forbes LOA subdivision legal. But I doubt that will ever happen because I suspect that money is more important to Forbes than the thousands of people who believed that any subdivision developed by Forbes, and with Forbes name on it, was legal and not a scam.

Great media!

Great media! The name speaks for itself! Love it for good articles and even motivation for yourself. After reading the new issue, you feel motivated to shoot for something more. I read it for more than 6 years after our college professor recommended reading it!

Great media. I read Forbes for 8 years and it always fresh and interesting. Journalists job on a high level! Recommend it to all! In my opinion it's much more better than The Economist or other similar website. The only one thing, I don't understand why sitejabber select the image with putin?

I personally do not enjoy that people who aren't subscribed have a limited number of times that they can look at an article. I would rate it higher if i could see more articles.

Decrease In Quality
July 23, 2021

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.
