State run media
April 28, 2021

Business Insider pretends to be business news. Bull. It is certifiably state run media / propaganda - don't waist your money or time.

Scam
April 26, 2021

I was looking for a discount on a purchase and their website showed up in the search. Went to their site, everything looked good until I clicked on "get discount" and was re-directed to a unsafe site. I quickly backed out and then got a pop-up if the coupon worked. Not sure if their site was hacked or if this was a purposeful act.

Where are the facts?
February 14, 2021

First off for a business publication they cover very little business but when they do just like in their political hit jobs there facts are either opinions or just wrong. The absolute worst publication available. Not news but bad opinions instead.

They are nothing but a politically biased information site. Even the reviews I read seamed only to satisfy their advertisers not really giving any helpful information.

JOKE
December 15, 2020

This is not a credible news site. There is nothing in this "news site" that is news. It is all propaganda. Sorry to see that there are a few sheeple that are not savvy enough to discern what is truth and what are lies. Find the truth out for yourself. In the age of technology you can research and find the source of all stories without relying on someone to mislead you.

Site has turned to political garbage
November 12, 2020

"BUSINESS" Insider doesn't seem to have much to do with business anymore. Has been handed over the the leftist media "journalists"... many US based current events are written by foreigners with their own narrative.

Part of the Fear-mongering Mainstream Media
September 29, 2020

Business Insider is extremely left wing radical biased. I wish they'd stop sending me notifications. When coronavirus deaths hit 1 million tonight, they released an article about it stating all doom and gloom just like the rest of the media. I looked up 1 million, which is only. *******% of the entire human population. That is nothing to worry about at all, and the media leaves out that the vast majority of the deaths from the panic are those who are aether 80+ years old or have pre existing conditions. And they use cases more than deaths to scare us. Back to Business Insider, though, not only do they fear monger, but they then rub salt in your wounds you may already have. I've never been loved, and they released an article I read through and cried even harder because it was a success story of a sugar baby marrying her sugar daddy and being super successful and rich from the experience. This must be an extremely rare occurrence, and I felt BI put it up there just to rub it on our faces that "Hey, this girl gets love while you don't!" I've had enough of this BS. Stay away from Business Insider.

Click Bait titles
July 29, 2020

The articles I've read are shallow and sensationalized. The material is just opinions and not fact gathered statistics. I could write better articles on businesses and current events and I'm not even a journalist.

DON'T ALLOW ADBLOCKER
May 23, 2020

What is this? 2013? Most sites have realized that by not allowing AdBlockers you're just driving away the user! Maybe if I could read the article with my AdBlocker i'd send it to my dad as financial advice. He doesn't have AdBlocker. The free market will play out and websites like these will naturally be overtaken by the less greedy.

Scam
March 14, 2020

To have the stomach to charge what they do for their "reports" that is nothing less than quotes from other articles is a scam. Should be closed down. Utterly useless the Banking as a Service "Report" would be a laugh if it wasn't for the $ 495. On top they can't/will not provide a receipt for the transaction. Suggestion for all within EU, buy by CC, return within 14 days, if no refund then make a charge back. They are praying on professionals looking for intel and easy to bury the purchase in order to not look like a fool.

Very Poor Advice on Health Issues
February 20, 2020

They have a story about how high Vit B12 blood levels indicate a higher death rate and they go on to say that this shows that vitamin supplements are useless and dangerous.

So, I did a search, the NY times had a page on the same study and clearly stated that the participants of the study were not taking supplements and that the researchers did not know what caused the results of the study. The Bus Insider did not reveal this fact about the study and tried to blame supplements on the result which shows what kind of mis-information they deliberately provide.

Every day I read an article about animal support on your news page. I agree that people are taking this a little over the line. But I am a traveler and my dog has been with me all over the country and in Italy where I come from.

I need to have it with me and I'm not explaining to you my medical reasons. As for the fiscal year, airlines are giving us problems, starting with the fact that I can not longer fly home because they don't allow emotional support on the flight for 8h, but if the dog is in the carry on it's certainly not a problem. This means that they do not care about the health of an animal, but about their pockets. Just like now I'm struggling because I can't see my parents. I need to travel home and carry on is something doesn't belong to my dog. I'm not going to start pushing her and keep her down in the bag now that she's 12. Animals are part of our lives, if you like to talk in your articles you should first show some empathy and second ask both opinions. I am sure you don't owe a pet and maybe is it a good thing. I am not sure how much love you ll be able to provide. You should also not use emotional support as a title to attract the customer and then talk about other topics without subject references. This will also build a higher wall of misinformation, ignorance and hatred. If you consider yourself a writer shows some integrity and educates your readers. To travel on a flight you don't just need a doctor's letter. Just to give you more details read what are the regulations of the airlines.

I looked up Bus. Ins. To review Lifeproof. It was BS all the way. I checked to see if they were credible and I checked Bus. Ins. Review from other reviewer sights. They were not. Do not trust their reviews.

Business Insider reviews are junk
November 6, 2019

I looked up Business Insider to review Lifeproof. They rated it #1 but it is junk, probably because Lifeproof may pay them to get good reviews.
Don't believe Business Insider anything of what they say.
Lots of BS on these internet eh?

About half the articles on BI site are stealth ads without any sort of disclosure. Writers are heavily Millennials and lack knowledge of their topics. One writer referred to U.S. Navy carriers as "aircraft characters" -- does it get any worse than that?
