It suggests a lot about print journalism when an article in Forbes clearly hasn't received even basic proofreading, much less proper editorial vetting.

It's a cool story but my experience reading it was diminished by the grade school sentence structure and bizarre grammar and punctuation errors. Stray commas in Forbes! Seriously now.

This is not a Forbes article, it's from their knock-off "contributors" platform.
I think that effectively the contributors platform is Forbes now.

Unfortunately that doesn't pull the contributors up to the magazine's level as much as it pulls the magazine down to the contributors level.

Which also suggests a lot about modern journalism, print or otherwise.
Forbes.com/sites is a bunch of blogs with what seems to be minimal editorial oversight.

I guess a magazine brand probably isn't worth so much these days.
