Forbes has a quasi-Yahoo, SBNation, etc. ability for just about fucking anyone to write a blog for them. Stop fucking linking to this fucking linkbait. 95% of them are shit. They are designed to make you link to the article. And you keep fucking doing it.

TCR.

There was one of these knuckleheads that did a writeup on how Steve Ballmer was a crappy CEO.

It got TONS of play on Slashdot and Reddit with headlines like "Forbes names Ballmer worst CEO". No, they didn't. It's a goddamn 'Letter to the Editor' by a nobody.

Nobody called it out in the comments either. Made me kinda sad.

It is fucking obscene. Do you know those Forbes "bloggers" get paid per hit? It's because it's all Forbes cares about is linkbait, and if you get enough hits you get paid. It's not on a per-article basis or salaried basis like legitimate news sources. It's absolute shit. Kashmir Hill is the fucking queen of that shit.

Do a google search for 'forbes ballmer'. The first page of results is that entry getting picked up on tons of tech sites. Tomshardware, extremetech, computerworld, 9to5mac, BGR, /., informationweek.

I'm betting Forbes fucked themselves on that one. You can be certain MSFT is pulling ad money from the print edition.

I dunno mang. Everybody in tech circles reads these sites, and nobody in tech circles reads the fucking print edition.

You've got lots of people whose opinions matter a bit thinking that a respected publication has decided to shit all over the CEO of one of the most important tech companies.

Maybe dollars haven't been pulled yet, but I guarantee that calls have been made.

Tell me, is "Financial Times Press" an elite publishing house? How about spending 6 months at BCG (or whatever period of time was so short he didn't list it)? Wait, maybe because he's a marketing guru his profile... MARKETS HIMSELF WELL.

The dude may have a nice resume, but he's just an HBS drone and an independent writer.

He's not 'Forbes'.

Forbes didn't commission an article on who the best and worst CEOs are.

This is all very new-vs-old media, but the distinction is relevant.

forbes isn't alone in this (another is MSN), so many sites now have these top 10 or even top 100 lists, where you gotta click through the entire list one-by-one, and each new list entry is a generic photo with a few (questionable) basic stats listed below it; while clicking thru, you gotta see ads every few entries
