Top Critical Review

“Lifehacker, leave off the Politics!”

Elizabeth M.
6/30/20

Lifehacker is like all the rest of the news outlets that don't bother to report both sides of a story, the latest example being the name-calling of the couple who defended their home. Without asking them why they felt the need to do that or observing facts such as the gate to their gated area's being broken through, Lifehacker condemns them and calls them names. Given what has been going on with the looting and burning, I would say that anyone in his right mind might be a bit fearful when a crowd of uninvited people come onto private property. Goodbye, Lifehacker. I can certainly live without you. Stick to what you know about and leave politics out.

Interesting reads. I don't like how a video ad will pop up out of no where and you have to sit through it until it ends. There are too many ways to advertise that don't hurt the user experience. Do better.

While Lifehacker.com offers some useful tips on life and relationships, it's a one way street from your screen to your brain. There is no reasonable way to comment on their posts, and even if you do after going through a registration process, your comments will need to be reviewed and approved. Is that why they only have thanks and praises in their comment section?

LifeHacker: the name says it all. Hack your life and become more efficient. I won't go into detail on why you should bookmark this site and check it out often, but just use this link and see the best of 2009. Really cool $#@! (sitejabber slang)

I find this site to be very interesting and informative. They seem to always find great content that never seems to get boring. So if you want to know more about the Tech world I think Lifehacker.com is probably for you..

I used to like this and even subscribed to the news letter. However, now all it is Political BS and Jerry Springer content. Not sure what happened, but the content is really bad and the info and tips used to be great now it's like they are desperate for articles.

They have been sent to our Spam filters in my company...

Discovering this website is THE reason I love sitejabber. Found many articles that have completely influenced my life. If you have not had a chance to look at this website I highly recommend you book mark it right now and make it your homepage (assuming you have some technical knowledge of computers). If you have never read wired magazine and buy your audio/video equipment from best buy, then just ignore this review.

If you can sift through the snide remarks, and hateful viewpoints, there are lots of helpful hacks that can save you time and money in your daily life. I used to come here often and the hints were awesome! The last handful of times, over the last year or so, it's just sad and depressing. It isn't reality at all. (My opinion, of course.)
It would be great again if it were back to just the facts, Ma'am... Just the facts.

This is one of the best sites to find out what is happening on the tech front. I always browse first thing in the morning, to get my daily fix of good, in depth tech news, and lifehacker delivers every time.

I will have to agree about this site. The articles and video are amazing and there are so many things to invent on this site. I am really fascinated and interested. There is one invention I have seen where the history channel said it was not possible to invent that some guys who are featured on the site actually invented. I am totally blown away!

Lifehacker is amazing. I tell my friends about it all the time. They've got a great approach to tech, GTD (getting things done), and crowdsourcing for the internet-savvy individual. I would highly recommend visiting often.

This is my new homepage! Wow... this is a must for everyone. They have step-by-step instructions for everything from setting up a home network, to blocking cell phone calls, to how to throw a punch, to how to fly first class without paying for it.

Absolutely invaluable website that has topics that no one else covers!

Lifehacker gives you some great idea's and tips to help improve your every day life. Obviously not every article is going to apply to you. But when you find that gem that you didn't think of on your own, it can literally change your life! The internet is a grreat place to get idea's and this is the place to find them

After reading some of the political pieces, I laughed at them harder than I laugh at MSNPC and Chump News Network. The leftist bias is outright in-your-face and has no apologies for stilting and even misrepresenting stories. On top of that, their support for even the most degenerate of figures like Josh Marsh, Dylan Mulvaney and Rose Montoya is appalling. There are some funny pieces on there like the garbage advice they give which is so bad, it's comical. LifeHacker is another Buzzfeed with extra cringe thrown in because why not.

Tip for consumers:
Waste of time reading their nonsense. If I wanted the BS, I'd stick to the MSM where I at least know to expect it.

Lifehacker.com is a very diverse site. You will find a variety of subjects, tutorials, videos, and other stuff that you may find in other places, but not in such a collection as this. You can find news and technology also mixed in with walk-throughs and great photos.

There is almost too much to look at. For this reason I don't spend a lot of time on lifehacker, but that doesn't warrant taking away from the rating of the site because of my personal preference of simplicity. Great site all said and done.

REASONS TO USE:
[1] Great variety of material
[2] Constantly updated

REASONS TO LOSE:
None.

I might just make this my homepage for awhile. They have useful tidbits of advice on tech toys and useful info. I found this bit on credit card monitoring very interesting. Pour through the site and you will find something of value. The site could use better organization as it is tough to find the gems.

The tile interface together with site navigation is a bit confusing. Also you need to think over the info all the time as some of the advice there can be strange.

I find the topic of millennials on this site disturbing. It perpetuates the BS that millennials onlybwant meaning and intangibles from a career... WEWANT MONEY! Stop posting BS that is ammo to greedy business owners who squeeze blood out of stones. Millennials want money and we're willing to do ANYTHING to get it. The problem is that businesses aren't willing to try harder, so our roles become that which a simple robot can do. And the pay always sucks.

Lifehacker does not know what a woman is, and uses dehumanising language for female-only experiences - and health advice.

Research Autogynephilia (AGPs) and see what it is this agenda of Female-Erasure is supporting.

Women are REAL, and require specific Health Advice.

Lifehacker is NOT Female-Friendly.
Only Women have Vaginas, Periods, Give Birth, Get Pregant, Experience Female Ejaculation, Experience Menopause, and Breastfeed.

Shame on anyone who supports the dehumanisation and erasure of women, in Language, Law, and Society.

Tip for consumers:
STAY AWAY IF YOU'RE A WOMAN - OR IF YOU RESPECT WOMEN IN ANY WAY!

Products used:
I was reading this website and was insulted and dehumanised immediately - no way would I buy anything from here.

I find this site pretty awesome for the most part. You can find some real life, helpful life hacks. And some are just flat funny and entertaining.

Even thought the info is good, the navigation is difficult... the articles are crowded on the home page and not always interesting and catchy.
