Used to having a big interest to the business world and didn't hesitate acquiring forbes magazines to stay tuned.
I always liked reading their magazines, cause there are many successful stories of different worldwide entrepeneurs. Other than that, forbes is considered to be the highest social media about financial.
So, I'm a satisfied reader, fortunately, nowadays everything's digital.

Great media. I read Forbes for 8 years and it always fresh and interesting. Journalists job on a high level! Recommend it to all! In my opinion it's much more better than The Economist or other similar website. The only one thing, I don't understand why sitejabber select the image with putin?

Daily read forbes
December 28, 2023

I daily read Forbes. Not I am not going to mimic billionaire lifestyle, but I wish to. There's a belief that forbes is either for those who have already reached success in life or for those who understand that they will never be able to attaing such heights and prefer leaf through pages enviously.
Can't state that I refer myself to some of these groups. For me it's a source of valuable;e financial knowledge in the first place. Back in the day I spent money on paper version, but nowadays everything is digital around us.

Decrease In Quality
July 23, 2021

The quality of writing on Forbes decreased over the past few years. The website layout still looks like a jigsaw puzzle. The actual print magazine is better to read. They do sometimes write bias-based articles. Regardless, they just need to improve their writing and get better editors to look over the articles before publishing them.

I will never trust a Forbes reviews again. They falsify ratings and curate reviews in order to gain customers for sub standard businesses. I got tied up with UFB Direct and AXOS Bank that took years off my life. Independent search of reviews of the company puts them at 2.5, Forbes lists them as 3.7-4. I want to make it very clear that I chose UFB because of the false/curated reviews Forbes provided.

Content of Forbes has a relatively low value/quality as news. Articles are reverse-engendered to serve as bait for clicks and successful content is re-used multiple times. If you need well written, informative content, Forbes may be for you but if you need up to date information and news, look at a more serious source.

Great media!
October 2, 2022

Great media! The name speaks for itself! Love it for good articles and even motivation for yourself. After reading the new issue, you feel motivated to shoot for something more. I read it for more than 6 years after our college professor recommended reading it!

THE SITE IS HORABLE
January 14, 2023

If you do not mind constant emails that you ask to be unsubscribed from and constant pop ups about surveys and newsletters, this online magazine/news/etc. Would be great. However if you would like to read a single article without being interupted by a pop up of some kind, do not buy this subscription. You cannot get a response from their tech about anything.

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?

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.

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!

Distasteful
October 13, 2019

It's just a bunch of idiots writing their opinions... most of the articles are written as it's speaking for everyone. Seems like they get their "news" from social media. Do not waste your time with 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.

I personally do not enjoy that people who aren't subscribed have a limited number of times that they can look at an article. I would rate it higher if i could see more articles.

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.
Recommended for adding to your bookmarks.

Block this website!
October 19, 2019

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.

Insider's Story
April 22, 2015

As we all nurse the hangover from an era of financial excess, it's important to remember what a big part the business media played in the whole affair - and during the boom years on Wall Street no publication was more important than Forbes magazine. But Forbes fell apart for many of the same reasons as other institutions: because greed and hubris proved to be more powerful forces than the principled pursuit of excellence. Stewart Pinkerton, who was the magazine's managing editor for many years, gives us the inside story of the decline and fall of Forbes--and at the same time offers a salutary tale of what can happen when the infatuation with digital media erodes the kind of quality journalism that Forbes once upheld.

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.
