Difficult website
October 10, 2016

The article is difficult to read and comment. It is very self centered and money oriented without regard for facts.

What a sh*tty site if you are forcing viewers to read 80% covered pages of ads and only 20% story. Ads are intrusive and collect personal data. I am not trying to sell my soul just to read about the next best creamy potato salad. Fk your site.

I love the site bu the fact that they make you go through a redirect if you have ad blocker on is really annoying and I hate it. Please get rid of it. Other than that the site gives solid info. Thanks.

For this reason alone, i rate forbes a 1/5, though in reality it doesn't deserve any points as it is essentially a broken website that does not allow me to view it.

Misleading headline
April 14, 2016

In an article about car Forbes posted a link with the heading Chevrolet Impala Convertible.
Such a car does not exist. As a company that sets itself above others for integrity, this speaks volumes about their lack of it. They must have had a powerful reason to sacrifice their integrity to lie about a made up car. Probably a little click money. How very typical!

I'm just studying business, but I sincerely hope to set up a business one day. Forbes gives a great overview of everything that happens in a business world and contains many practical tips.

Dislike the pop-up
March 16, 2016

They have this pop-up page whenever you go to them from a different resource and you have to wait until reading the article. This is really uncomfotable. I came to read the article, not wait 5 sec until you show an add or whatever

While reading about people that have "way more money" then I do can get me down sometimes, I've always enjoyed Forbes. Rich informative content that you can apply to your business and personal life from the pros that have did it themselves. So sure, 5 stars it is!
