Review of eventbrite

A platform dedicated to user's personal information collection.

The primary focus of this company is not to serve as a platform to facilitate event-related transactions. Rather, the main objective of Eventbrite is to collect as much personal information on a potential event attendee as possible to advance its own profit. Having been caused to expend undue amounts of resources and time in a circuitous, futile venture to chase down tickets we paid for by means OTHER than agreeing to upload this company's App on our phone, the reason for the difficulty in what should have been a simple task became obvious: EventBrite speciously constrains users to upload its information-collecting App before enabling customers to retrieve the tickets they in fact paid for. Uploading a company's App should be a choice, not an undisclosed condition-precedent it imposes after the customer completes and pays for a purchase. Here, EventBrite is effectively holding our tickets hostage until we defer to the company's hidden, self-directed practices.

Review of Canva

Do not trust this App.

We used this for my mother’s funeral program and edits made were reversed and it “autocorrected” the date of her death which of course was totally wrong. We printed a copy for corrections before giving the USB drive to the printer and the date was correct. The company doing the printing did a proof copy and it was correct, When the program came back the date was incorrect. Do not trust this app.

Review of booking

Terrible customer service

I booked a hotel that ended up being false advertising and very unsafe (photos of dripping ceiling, burnt out outlets, stained furniture, as well as smoke and urine smells.) I checked out as soon as I checked in so the booking was unused. I reached out to booking.com support and their response was they couldn’t get ahold of the property that they advertised? Both the property and booking.com had been unhelpful in issuing a refund. Customer service is repetitive and the people who work on the phone lines leave you on hold without doing anything new to help. I would not recommend booking through this website even if it’s cheaper, because if you need help no one is actually helpful.

Review of booking

Misleading listing, unlivable room, and zero customer support – extremely disappointed

I’m writing this review after trying unsuccessfully for over 5 days to get any response from Booking.com’s customer service, regarding a truly unacceptable stay.Booking Confirmation Number: 4644055039Hotel: Savoy Hotel, CopenhagenDates: June 18–21, 2025I paid €300 per night for a room that looked absolutely nothing like the photos on Booking.com.The room was dirty, moldy, dusty, and full of hair. Even worse, there were insects crawling around.The “marble” shelves advertised in the listing were actually cheap plastic with a printed pattern, peeling and stained — a complete scam.The condition of the room was simply unacceptable, far below any standard of hospitality.I tried to change rooms but due to a large city event (3daysofdesign), everything else was fully booked. I was left with no choice but to stay in that room.I contacted Booking.com's support multiple times via the platform, but no one has replied to me after 5 days.Yes, the staff at the hotel were kind and the location is central — but that does not excuse the false advertising and complete lack of support.I have photos and videos clearly documenting the state of the room and would be happy to share them — but Booking.com doesn't even provide a working customer service email anymore.This experience has been deeply disappointing and unworthy of a platform that claims to vet its properties.I’m requesting a full refund and, at the very least, a proper response.

Review of amazon

AWS (Amazon Web Service) is the Worst…

AWS (Amazon Web Service) is the Worst web hosting site I ever visited. It made me feel boring and tired just to be there. This site is designed to be 'User Unfriendly,' pages are cluttered with lines and lines of tiny alphanumeric characters everywhere but omitting most crucial details in critically important sections, and things needed to be seen are not visible, just to name a few. Kept an account for only 3 days due to a severely delayed web project but the billing personnel debited for absolutely no services (no hosting, no developer, no route 52) and took 20 days (13 days waited + 7 days to credit) to get a refund. Will not come back to AWS to open an account ever again. I would rather use Scala Hosting when it's ready for uploading.

Review of att

Not Worth It

I have been with ATT for 10+ years. The rates kept increasing and increasing. When I finally left them, it was 3 days after my billing cycle began. No prorating.Straight up charged me $82 full fee for a month for 3 days use telling me “we don’t prorate.” I had considered going back to ATT eventually when money was better due to the great customer service, but after this experience, I will not ever be returning. Increased rates, bad experiences with customer service, and straight up way too expensive to begin with. Just a heads up for anyone trying to cancel, they will charge you the full fee regardless of when you canceled. You live and learn.

Review of kickstarter

Kickstarter the new SCAM

Kickstarter is the new way of making scams. I have been scammed a few times, with the creator running away with the pledged cash without a word. And kickstarter just sits there and pushes away all the responsibility. I get that it is a platform to back starter companies and stuff, but reading through other peoples experiences it seem like that this behavior if getting more and more common on the platform.

Review of brave

Remove your Fk1ng search AI and maybe could be a 2/10

Brave AI search is a nail in the foot, not going to be a long explanation but is a headache every time you search something, the AI just launch a bible text about the opinion of 3 morons just slowing my search speed, and the most important part, I didn't agree with have this "Search AI" in every search.

Review of bio

Bio.Link is fantastic!

Bio.Link is a fantastic "about me"/"contact me/what I do" online tool that has a straightforward design and "just works". I love it! I've been active on various platforms recently, and building a website page to showcase all my initiatives would have taken me weeks. Bio.Link has everything I need. I even have their QR code on my business card. It's simple and beautiful.

Review of samsung

Dont s25 ultra or Samsung care plan

First off i purchased this phone directly from Samsung.com. ill never make that mistake again. Because i wanted the 1TB i went with it, on top of that i purchased the Samsung care plus plan. Needless to say i paid for everything completely before i even got the phone. Im not a big picture person but i do you use the AI quite a bit. I say that to say this i traded in my S23 ultra (worse mistake ever ill never do that again) for the S25 ultra. A month later i started using the ultra wide lens. No for those that know its the top lens and its not accessed unless you tap the .6 zoom out in the app. Here in lies my issue the camera is defective straight from the manufacturer. Upon call samsung at the number they provide im told the phone is under warranty still, ok no problem. First i had to take it to multiple authoritized repair facilities just for them to say the samething i told samsung. The lens is defective not the software. In lies another problem Samsung insists i send my phone to them for repairs, which will take 5 -7 days. Not including shipping time. Hes the thing samsung will not provide me another phone during this time. How do they expect someone to go without a phone for days on a repair that is their fault. After days of calls an transfers i finally got in contact with samsung care and they said its a manufacturer issue got it no problem but still i would be without a phone for days. The care plus team tells me my only other option is a deductible of $100 to replace the phone on top of that he cant guarantee my phones color on arrival. This is absolutely trash its said to say but Apple has a WAY BETTER SERVICE for its customers. Look I've been with samsung since 2003 ive been nothing but loyal from phones, tvs, and sound systems.  The S25 ultra seems like a good phone buts its actually in my opinion subpar to the S23 Ultra they focused to much on the wrong aspects. Their so called  Care plan is subpar and needs complete revamping my phone isnt 2 months old yet and has absolutely no physical damage yet i have to pay for a new one this is unacceptable. Your customers are not first nor do you care about loyal ones. Do not get their plans nor order from their sites get your phone through your carriers you will have less of a headache being take of.

Review of americanexpress

I opened an Amex Platinum Card

I opened an Amex Platinum card, 1300USD annual fee, in march, used it for everything to justify the annual fee, on Dec 15 all transactions were getting declined, after speaking with customer support the account was suspended until further notice for high risk usage. My billing cycle starts on the 12th, the card is paid in full every month as required, on Jan 2 2024, the account was closed and sent to collections. The previous balance was $0, no payment due, the billing cycle is 9 days from closing, Yes Collections, I received a letter stating multiple failed attemps to collect a debt. An imaginary debt on an account that is 9 days from closing. This company is a joke, hence why it seems no one accepts Amex.
