Forbes Magazine

Awful customer service… it’s ridiculously difficult to get a human being on the phone. Their email service is equally frustrating. The people at Forbes don’t get things done. As for its content, I’ve seen better in other magazines.
Update ¹²⁄₂₀₁₅: Finally got customer service, although it was extremely delayed, and finally got a human on the phone who could handle most of my concerns. Therefore, I will upgrade this review from ¹⁄₅ to ²⁄₅ as the barriers to getting in touch with a real person who could do anything were unacceptably high and customer service was very poor quality. I maintain better quality content can be found in other magazines and therefore stand behind my ²⁄₅ updated review.

My Forbes subscription compelled me to do what no other magazine has been able to do — build an outhouse.

I read Forbes and the WSJ despite their bent, but am certainly not mourning their move from the area… Forbes belongs in midtown anyway.

In the short time of my subscription to Forbes. com’s breaking news alert via e-​mail, among other prominent mass media carriers, I do not find Forbes useful in my daily deal of life. The current events is insufficient and lack concrete substance which does not retain any relevancy.
«Knowledge fuels action» which Steve Forbes cannot deliver as there is no concrete substance.

Forbes magazine is a worthless pseudo-​intellectual rag geared to MBA fresh-​outs who think they’ll one day be discovered by mentioning its latest cover story to their CEO during an elevator conversation. in this fantasy, the CEO will say to the fresh-​out, «You read Forbes?» and hand over the keys to executive suite.

Steve Forbes is a pompous, highly biased, liberal basher. I don’t care if you are on the left or the right, keep that political crap out of this magazine Mr. Forbes.
I could care less about Forbes’ «syndicated» columnists; they spill a lot of useless information. I only read the second half of the magazine.
Pros about the mag: new business trends; usually a feature on innovative people doing innovative things; and stock picks.
Some of the editors (e.g. Steve Forbes, Rich Karlgaard) try to parade the magazine by making it for the ultra-​rich when they know that a majority of their readers aren’t ultra-​rich. Almost the «I know I am better than you» type of writing but it’s minimal in the second half of the magazine.
