FUCK Forbes.

Manage Google+ contacts?

First off all, no one uses that.

Secondly, allowing the management of my contacts in exchange for simply entering your website? GET FUCKED.

Users who sign in via Google give Forbes access to their email address, full name and any publicly available information from their Google+ profiles. Forbes is also granted permission to manage users’ Google contacts.

ROFL!

Who gives a fuck? They don't seem to get that there are any number or sources for information and that their take just isn't that valuable. Wall off, deal with your remaining subscribers, call it a day, and just silently go away.

Well we can post new tactics to still block ads (only for people who need to view their site for some reason) but we'll just recommend other sites instead.

Mental note: Do not click forbes links. No need. Info is available elsewhere.

They've been doing this since a year now. When you click on a link of theirs, it leads you to a pre-page - with what I suppose must have been an ad - but because you use ad-blocker, it's not visible, and the pre-page doesn't forward you to the actual page, because of what I presume was the ad-blocker.

As a consequence I hardly clicked on Forbes articles to begin with.
