Why You Should Never Write for Seeking…

Why You Should Never Write for Seeking AlphaI want to warn everyone against wasting their time writing for Seeking Alpha. Here’s why:1) Clueless, Low-Quality Editors Who Don’t Understand InvestingSeeking Alpha’s editors are unqualified—most don’t even have a finance or business degree, yet they meddle with your work like they’re experts. They remove key arguments, add irrelevant nonsense, and generally make your article worse, not better.Why? Because they’ve outsourced their entire editorial team to India, hiring low-wage, inexperienced people who have never invested a penny in their lives. These aren’t professionals—they’re cheap labour. How can they possibly improve an article on investing when they don’t even understand the subject?2) Their Selection Process Is a JokeTrying to get an article published is like playing a rigged game. • If your stock idea is popular, they reject it because it’s been “covered too much.” • If your stock idea is unpopular, they reject it because “it won’t get traction.” • If your stock idea is somewhere in the middle, they’ll probably reject it anyway just to avoid the effort of actually editing and publishing it.It’s clear they look for any excuse to reject articles rather than actually do their job.3) They Think Grammarly Is AISeeking Alpha’s editorial team is so incompetent that they flag Grammarly and ProWritingAid as “AI-generated content.” That’s right—if you use basic tools to check grammar and clarity, they’ll accuse you of using AI and reject your article, even if you wrote it entirely yourself.4) It’s Not Worth the Effort • They pay peanuts—even if your article gets 5,000+ views, you’ll be lucky to make $200. • You spend days researching, writing, and arguing with their clueless editors, only to end up earning less than $10 an hour—an insult for anyone with real finance experience, especially CFA charterholders.Final Verdict: Avoid at All CostsMy experience with Seeking Alpha has been frustrating, time-wasting, and infuriating. The editors are arrogant and incompetent, the process is broken, and the pay is abysmal. It’s not worth your time, especially if you’re a serious investor with real expertise.

We don't need weather warnings for normal British weather. Anyone who has traveled abroad will know people live in much colder and hotter climates and use common sense. Pathetic nannying yellow alerts when it's raining, windy or during warm spells just irritate.

Typeform is an easy to use platform which makes it simple to create forms for your business. We used it for a couple of months to collect information from our clients for implementation purposes. It is very customizable, especially when you upgrade to the paid tier. We were easily able to integrate it with other parts of our ecosystem with no issue.

Review of hp

Ten years loyalty with this company

Ten years loyalty with this company. Could not connect two printers purchased from them to instant ink,had to return both after numerous hours on video calls, to no avail. Purchased expensive printer which includes three years worth of ink, which randomly prints out copies for fun. So now will only last half the time with double paper usage. More wasted video calls cannot give answer so don’t believe me. That’s customer loyalty well done HP and goodbye.

Review of domain

This people or company are scammers.

BEWARE – SCAMMERS! DO NOT GIVE DOMAIN.COM A SINGLE DOLLAR!I have never been more disgusted with a company. DOMAIN.COM is a complete scam operation. Stay far away. They charged me hundreds of dollars over two years for services I never requested, never used, and never agreed to. They have NO phone support – just a chat system, which only serves to waste your time and protect their interests, not yours.When I confronted them with clear proof that I never authorized these charges, they admitted it – they flat-out told me they were charging me for something I never asked for. And still, they REFUSED to refund me. Can you believe that?I have the entire chat transcript saved and will be taking further action, because this is absolutely unacceptable and unethical.There are plenty of companies out there who actually value their customers and offer real support. Domain.com is not one of them. This company should not be trusted with your money or your time.

Binance Withholding My Funds – No Support, No Refund!

I deposited 51,467 XRP (~$150,000 USD) from Revolut to Binance on February 17, 2024, and Binance has been holding my funds for over three weeks without processing my refund. Despite providing all required documentation (transaction hash, proof of ownership, Revolut statements), Binance continues to delay, ignore my requests, and provide generic responses.🔹 Binance confirmed that my XRP is stuck in their Hot Wallet and must be manually processed, yet they have failed to release my funds.🔹 They processed a refund for a smaller 36 XRP transaction, but not my main deposit.🔹 Binance refuses to give a timeline for resolution and has provided contradictory responses from different agents.This is completely unacceptable for a platform handling millions in user funds! I have escalated this issue to financial regulators (SEC, FCA, ESMA), crypto news outlets (CoinDesk, CoinTelegraph), and legal experts. If Binance does not resolve this within 48 hours, I will take further legal action.📌 Beware of using Binance! They may withhold your funds with no accountability!#Binance #CryptoScam #WhereIsMyMoney #BinanceSupportFail

Review of asus

ASUS TUF GAMING FX504-GM from OVERCLOCKERS UK

RESPONSE 23/08/2019Overclockers UK replaced this laptop with a newer model, which had the kinks all worked out.Asus, I contacted you by phone and by live chat over 10 times and you fobbed me off every time.I have a working Asus laptop now, but I didn't want to take an Asus replacement but had no choice.My next laptop won't be Asus, nor will any PC components. You're replying now because you got a negative review that everyone can see, even though you have had loads of chances to rectify this. The laptop model effected is all over the internet as being faulty, and those people have all complained too. Why haven't you recalled your poorly designed laptops?Very disappointed Asus, my original review still stands.--------------I bought a ASUS TUF GAMING FX504-GM from Overclockers UK a while ago. I run an ecommerce website and do webdesign, video editing etc.I wanted a portable laptop that had the processing power to play games and do the intensive editing of 4K.To be fair the laptop plays games and does these things very well, but only for so long...It will totally lock up and freeze mid game or mid edit, the event viewer brings up a few errors just before the lock up which loads of other users have reported online. A petition was even started and got quite a few signatures to fix these dodgy laptops. Apparently Asus have fixed these issues in their later laptops, but couldn't care less about the customers they've already stiffed.Getting in touch with Asus was a nightmare. The live chat people don't have a clue on what the event viewer even is, or what the error codes mean. They also lie to you to fob you off, and if you catch them out, they'll transfer you or cut you off.I was offered a repair under the manufacturers warranty, but this would mean:A. The laptop would be completely wiped clean.B. The laptop would be away for a minimum of 3 weeks.Other users have complained that it has taken way more than 3 weeks and that the laptops come back mishandled or dirty. They've also said that repairs that have 'rectified' the issues have done nothing, which leads to returning the laptop again and so on and so on.I cannot be without a computer. I have an eCommerce website and do my business invoices etc. I spoke to Overclockers and ASUS and asked for some sort of loan laptop until mine gets back from repair, they declined and said it's only if you bought one of their much more expensive premium laptops.So, I'm stuck with a laptop that freezes constantly, and I either shut my business down for 3-6 weeks till it comes back or I just live with it.Very disappointed with ASUS and Overcockers UK. They manufactured a lemon and then it was sold to me.My advice, stay well clear of Overclockers UK and ASUS. The products of ASUS are horrific and they couldn't care less about sending a faulty product to market, and the customer services of Overclockers could certainly be improved. It cannot be that hard to provide a temporary laptop until mine is repaired, or just tkae this garbage one back and refund/replace it.

Review of WordPress

REALLY BUMMED

I love how easy it is to build an attractive site using Wordpress, but I am REALLY BUMMED that I cannot use my own URL. I paid a lot to purchase my URL, I don't want a different one, and now I cannot use Wordpress to create my new website.

Review of softwareadvice

This website is deceptive

This website is deceptive. I clicked on "Demo" under the page of certain software products. Thinking my colleagues and I would be talking to a rep from those software companies and be led through a demo of the products, I set up 2 meetings. Both turned out to be with a rep from software.com that did NOT include a demo--waste of your time (you can get more info from the company directly); and it doesn't feel good to realize you've been misled by a company that poses as an informational resource for their own gain.

Review of pandora

Disgusted with Pandora!

Disgusted with Pandora!Placed my order which included a free bracelet when you spend £99, it was in my basket along with my other items but suddenly disappears as soon as I paid. Pandora claim it’s suddenly out of stock and won’t allow me to cancel the order 5 mins after I placed it. They expect me to refuse the parcel 5 days later and wait for a refund. Absolutely shocking. False advertising and a con to get you to spend more money! Appalling company
