What's hilarious is when people boast about being "in Forbes" like it's the magazine from 20 years ago, and not this parasitic SEO operation that publishes garbage on anything.

I took advantage of this in business school. A lot of my professors considered Forbes a reputable business magazine. It was amazing, I could easily cite a source for just about anything I wanted to say.

Maybe the professors knew and were taking advantage to look the other way to make their job easier.

haha maybe, I got my A’s and my piece of paper, and now I’m qualified to cut costs at your local private equity firm!
