I was going to write a post on how I feel about Forbes, but honestly, this piece from Joshua Benton at Nieman Journalism Lab (Three years ago today, February 9, 2022) sums it up quite well with just this quote, emphasis mine:
“The two things that determine your pay are how many articles you write and how many clicks you can harvest — a model that encourages a lot of low-grade clickbait, hot takes, and deceptive headlines.” writes Joshua Benton.
The Forbes of the modern era is a shell of its former self, driven by greed, clickbait, and misleading the public. Go read the whole thing if you have a few minutes, it’s worth it!
