I have read Forbes during the past years, and they always have feature stories or pieces on important subjects. More recently I read about the top 5 financial reports that a business should run. Great insights as to how you should run your business.

As a non communist, I'm not interested in reading political magazines that stand for communist dictatorship and oppression of people. This magazine clearly favours russian politics, why, I couldnt tell you. It wishes for people to have less freedom?

I tend to forget that forbes.com is an ad slave website and I return because the title of an article entices me to visit again. I won't be making that mistake anymore after today.

Who needs to be bombarded with video ads, pop ups and generally get harassed with ads? Not me. See ya, forbes.com.

Clearly biased toward certain social abd political groups. So if you are not part of those groups, you will find their content quite disturbing. Not the place to look for objectives analysis of situations.

Fake news
January 9, 2019

Forbes has become a blatant liberal Trump bashing fake news source. Zero substance. Propaganda. The American people deserve better. Distateful "journalism."

Great site!

Forbes is an American business magazine. I visit this site on a frequent basis. Forbes is a surprisingly wide and varied venue and well worth spending some time looking around. Great site, visit daily.

$#*! Forbes
June 12, 2018

I get that it can be annoying to see revenue go down thanks to adblockers. I have a site that runs 2-3 ads. Very small, very unintrusive. So when I was promised an "Ad Light" experience, I thought what the hell, why not. And disabled my adblocker. What I was met with was the 7th circle of advertisement hell. I haven't seen this many ads since trying to download cracked minecraft in the 9th grade. What the $#*! forbes. When your advertisements take up more than 80% of the $#*!ing screen, its time to fix that $#*!. I will NEVER use forbes again. In fact I blocked the page in my isp settings. $#*! the clickbait titles. $#*! the advertisements. $#*! Forbes.

Poor Journalism
January 26, 2017

It has gotten to the point where every article I read lies somewhere between "fake news" and "complete joke." I have yet to read a Forbes news article with any substance. High schoolers in an introductory literature class could take the jobs of Forbes journalists, and I haven't seen any improvement in content at all over the past few months.
