Do not be tricked by Forbes' "free issue" offer. It is a deceptive scam. When clicking the offer, two options are presented: 1) Subscribe now and receive a special rate, or 2) Just send me a free issue.

I never got the free issue and am now receiving bills for something I never ordered. I am supposedly past due on the payment, but never agreed to it.

Total scam. Beware.

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.

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.

Forbes magazine is great. Their website is quite the opposite.

The pages load slow, they seem to have a lot of scripts in the background that are weighing it down (just signs of a poor IT department). Also, when you read a top 30 list, you must click and arrow and reload the page each time so to read a top 30 count down, you have to read 30 pages! It's ridiculous. I'm looking for a site that scrapes Forbes's ranking articles and combines it into 1 page.

Their magazine is so good, which makes it so tough to rate it 1/5.

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 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.

While the content of this site may be good, super opinionated but good, it os by far the worst site I have ever used on my phone. Just wanted to look at the pictures for a 1 through 10 ranking and it took over 10 minutes. Every time I got through 3 an add would pop up and put me back 2 pages. Load if crap in a smart phone era.

Forbes is known to be the most readable and rated magazine as well as their website is. I always have been wondered of the quality they write. Only interesting facts about business.

Poor Journalism
January 25, 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.

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.

I'm not a subscriber who writes this review, but I can say that I've been using Forbes Financial reports as part of my Far-East reports. I like the way they compile data and present it to the world. This 5-star review is the least I can do to repay for all the efforts.

When it comes to speed and convenience, there is no better way to read Forbes magazine. With almost no advertisements and minimal pictures, you just get the articles in a very concise and easy to read format. With wireless delivery, you get the magazine delivered to your Kindle, no matter where you are, as soon as it comes out.

Forbes used to be an important source of business and finance insights... but its become increasingly trivial, unreliable, and irrelevant." David McClintick

Author Stewart Pinkerton spent 20 years as a writer and editor at 'Forbes.' His book purports to tell how Malcomb Forbes and his sons (mostly Steve) lost most of its financial assets through immense personal expenses and Steve's ($75 million) quixotic and bumbling presidential campaigns, combined with poor business decisions/leadership. Unfortunately, Pinkerton accomplishes his goal only to a limited extent - probably largely due to the Forbes empire having been a non-public entity until recently.

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 articles are not truthful, if they don't like someone they will continue to lie about that person. I found at least 7 that were not truthful, will never again
