Every Forbes article should have the warning that they are not real publication anymore. Everything they publish is written with an intention that you believe an authors opinion as fact.

The model for Stability ends in a likely way, they will be swallowed up in a payday. We have recent examples of this.

For now, they’re the most open area in a garden of closing gates. And I wish them all the best.

I was contacted by a Forbes writer for a hit piece, and his pitch on why he wanted to talk to me was clearly a lie.

It takes $500 to be a “featured contributor” and they will post whatever nonsense you like. The brand is diluted.
