Demo turned into $50 a year (CAD) no notifications - as soon as I saw charge hit my Paypal - I cancelled - BUT no refunds policy. Their business is built on scamming people after a free demo. AWFUL. I feel robbed.AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Sleazy.

Review of dell

Dell will not take accountability for a faulty laptop.

Dell is not what it used to be. I'm switching to Lenovo after dealing with over eight months of runaround customer service for a faulty product that they can not repair and will not replace: my laptop, XPS 13 9315. Note, it's my second one, as the first one's screen died on me in the first week. I followed every direction of Dell's tech support including sending in my laptop and reinstalling Windows, etc. several times. A Dell technician also came to me and worked on the laptop. The problems didn't go away! Customer service keeps promising over and over again "white glove service," and that "the problem will be resolved after this". However, everything they tried never worked! In some cases only got worse. Dell wants to keep doing the same thing over and over again. This is how stupidity leads to insanity. Dell does not want to take accountability for its faulty product. I do not know how many hours I've spent (wasted) during this process but if I had to guess it is well over two dozen hours. Not including a week without a laptop. And, not to mention many more frustrating hours trying to work with a faulty product. Dell wants to continue wasting their and my productive time. They will continue this process until the warranty is up or I give up. I've decided to give up on Dell. It's been over 25 years and ends with a disappointment.   BONUS: A Dell supervisor gave me a phone number for their "Customer Care Department" to further help me with escalating my concerns. The phone number was to their general line and there was no option for a "Customer Care Department". (Palm to face!)

Review of cointelegraph

Suspect business model

These guys are on Twitter editorializing in ways to move markets. I surprise they have a business model that is compensated from market participants, but have no direct evidence.

Review of 9gag

Bots. It’s all bots now.

Bots. Non stop bots. 9gag doesn’t care. They must be making money off them. It’s just full of bots.

Review of Instagram

I have been unjustly banned or blocked…

I have been unjustly banned or blocked from my Instagram account without any valid explanation. As a dedicated counsellor who supports those in need, Instagram is an indispensable tool for connecting with my followers and directing them to my website. I offer valuable insights on coping with mental illness and share inspiring quotes. However, I have come across numerous reviews from people highlighting how Instagram has adversely impacted small businesses and those striving to make a positive impact around the world, including mine.I am changing my name as I prepare to get married, and this could be the cause of the ban on my Instagram account. However, I have also experienced hacking attempts in the past, which could be another factor affecting my account. Despite these challenges, I have taken the necessary steps to resolve this issue by seeking support from Instagram. It has been four days since I reached out to them, still waiting for a response or resolution.Instagram's algorithm favours only the rich and famous. It often suggests using their hashtags or paid advertising to promote posts, but the results are often disappointing. I have tried this in the past, and despite investing a significant amount of money, my posts only received one like and no new followers. In addition, Instagram encourages using the Meta app, which I have been using to improve my presence on the platform. What is most upsetting is seeing the support of vanity and sexual content of very young women/girls and even men/boys. I have received messages or advertisements on both Instagram and Threads showing half-naked individuals, where you can pretty much see all genitalia. I have reported the accounts only to receive a message from Instagram that they see no violations and have not shut down the account.Yet, I am a legitimate counsellor, supporting people in need, and I get shut down. Social media/Instagram/Threads: all platforms are corrupt. It is truly destroying the world. It's so disappointing to see Instagram support evil over good. My advice. Stop using social media.

Review of Facebook

Oppenheimer in the 21st century

Aside from the fact that FB started the decline of civilisation.It used to be clean, a way to connect. Now, bloated with adverts. You look at your feed, it changes on every refresh.Meta, or whoever owns it now should be ashamed, destroying humanity. People do not talk any more, my friend refuse to communicate by phone or face to face.I lay, near death on the floor for 10 days with unfinished messages. Friends too busy posting pictures of cats and holidays than to contact me. Now, we have AI in the mix, the machines run the Internet. FB is a dangerous social media gone wrong, along with YouTube and the others. Google et al. History will bear me right, mark my words
