I like Forbes. I think they have been honest and fair... until this week. You have decided to "play God" with people's lives: people who thought they were doing a good job with the job they had been awarded; people who actually have integrity, intelligence and the ability to move forward in the face of incredible distress and pressure. Wouldn't you WANT people like that in your company? I guess the Forbes Magazine editor has decided that just because you have worked in a position where the "company" has tanked, you no longer merit consideration for you future. This is the most short sighted and vindictive thing I've ever seen come out of Forbes. I'm incredibly disappointed in an organization to which I previously gave credit. You might want to rethink your position and invest in a different editor.

I've read reviews sayimg this magazine lacks honesty. My complaint is of a different nature. The article that I take umbrage with was written about the made up "Top Ten Reasons People Use not to Wear a Mask." They were all relatively silly, trying to give the impression that the persons were being friolous. None of this "top ten" included a very valid reason for not waring a mask, wbich is heart or lung disease. It would be nice if the article hadn't been so biased that they couldn't even come up with one reason that is valid. I'm disgusted with this magazine.

I read Forbes more than I would like to because they often cover topics of interest for me, namely regarding the stock market.
But they provide factually false information and as "investing experts" they know that they're providing false information.
For instance, they constatly trash Roth IRAs versus traditional IRAs because "paying taxes beforehand will make you earn less compared to someone whom only pay taxes afterwards whom have a big headstart". It may be counter intuitive but it's entirely false. Let me prove it to you. Let's say taxes are 15%, you invest $1000 and will double your gain over time.
By paying taxes beforehand, you only invest $850 after taxes, which will double, so that's $1700.
If you pay taxes later, you invest $1000 and it doubles afterwards so that's $2000. Now you take off 15% taxes so that's $300 off, leaving you $1700.
As you can see with this example, Forbes tends to push false narratives that can be mathematically proven false. Is there a conflict of interest, is content sponsored to push a narrative, are the journalists letting their own beliefs take over what's actually true? I don't know but don't trust what they say.

Forbes.com prevents users who block ads from viewing their website. For a company that puts out a list of the richest Americans, they must really be struggling. Their content is click bait and their writers are pretentious and inept at their jobs. I block all search results from Forbes.com now, and I highly suggest everyone else do the same. It will save you a tremendous amount of wasted time, because I assure you, there is nothing worth viewing on their website.

All media companies now exist for one reason, and it isn't to provide news. It's to create reasons for people to give them money, either directly with sales of their publications, or indirectly with advertising. Everything aside from making money is secondary at best. So any way possible that they can increase their bottom line is well inside what they are willing to do. Sadly, you can't trust ANY media outlet for real news today, but particularly greedy Forbes.

Of course Forbes pops up on google first when searching about certain games or gaming information. However, none of these articles deserve to show first. It's like hearing complaining on video games from people who don't ever play video games.
There are many more reliable sources for gaming information. Not to mention these better sources are usually non-biased. Forbes easily fits in with the huge media that looks down on gaming. Remember folks, if it gets good coverage, chances are it's worse than the games big media $#*!s on or gives no coverage at all.
