BBC I used to love you, I dislike you intensely now..

I've watched and been proud of the BBC most of my life. I particularly liked Radio 4 and listened to it from the age of 8. Now aged 64 I find there is virtually nothing of any relevance to me anymore since this past 5 years. BBC you are now obsessed with race, gender, sexuality and global warming. I may have some sympathy with some of the issues but you never stop lecturing about it at any opportunity from any angle and always through your liberal left wing prism. You do this on every genre you cover be it drama, news, magazine programmes, comedy etc. I don't want to be lectured AT with these views every time I switch on the radio or television. I am afraid it's too late for you to change, if we don't agree you think we're wrong and need more education. BBC you're too far gone.

Academia-edu - A scam

A scam - stay away and for goodness sake, if you happen to be a premium subscriber do not let make automatic withdrawals: rates increased by 75% in 2023 and by 44% in 2024. Luckily there are fair competitors

Great software but poor customer…

Great software but poor customer service. Annoying automated response system and agents rarely understand (language barrier?) the issue at hand and are incompetent at dealing with anything remotely complex and provide contradicting information.

Review of pcmag

PCMag rates Sirius XM at 4.5 when there are NO ratings above 1 star to be found. Literally zero.

I want PCMag to explain how they can rate Sirius XM at 4.5 stars when after searching newest to old then oldest to new - AND EVEN SORTING BY BEST, quite literally ALL reviews were one star!!!! Absolutely none higher!!!!! Check it out yourselfGoogle this:pcmag "Sirius"It seems like PCMag ignores the customer reviews and takes money from Sirius XM to decide the rating. And I have NO way to ask PCMag directly.Essentially all complained about what my experience was: Sirius XM raise the rates by over 100% (once over 200%) and they make it impossible to cancel (really - effing impossible), and their contract makes us agree to pay if we don't cancel.Why would PCMag do this if not for money from Sirius??

Review of org

What is this charge for?

I too have letter from the ICO threatening a fine if I do not sign up to sending them £40 or £60 per year. With 5.9 million SME's in the UK, this could create for them, even at the lower charge, a hoard of cash totalling £236 million - per year! That's one heck of a budget. What do they intend to do with it? It sounds like one very elaborate scam to me. Any other thoughts?

Review of gov

Low of the low

I’m only giving 1 star as there is no option for no stars. I have never came across more such an unprofessional firm. I genuinely believe they should were masks for their own protection. No help at all and really needs looked into.

Review of domestika

Its a scam they rob you. they sign you up for subscription without notifying you

Its a scam. If I could give Domestika zero stars, I would. I purchased a single short course and was charged 91euro for a year subscription I never signed up for this and I was never notified of such a subscription. I didnt even know I paid for this until yesterday when they stole 150 euro from me for renewal something I never knowingly signed up for. This is completely criminal.I have contacted their support team many times and have received no response whatsoever. This lack of accountability is appalling and feels like a deliberate scam. It is theft and should be reported to consumer protection authorities.Avoid this company at all costs. Do not sign up for anything — you’re unlikely to get a refund, and they clearly have no interest in helping their customers.

Review of BBC

BBC is great!! Not so for BBC News…

I'm not one of those ranting BBC haters, I have loved the Beeb for over 40 years and always will. Their entertainment shows, documentaries and dramas are superb. Radio 4 and and Radio 6 programmes are exceptionally good! TBH, my life would be much more empty without it.My issue is with the political news and the reporters. For some reason it seems that the Beeb often allow outright lies and falsehoods to go completely unchallenged. This seems to be a general rule for most government ministers, but I also see it when reporters question opposition party's and other political commentators. Additionally, reporters often fail to ask blatantly obvious questions of political interviewees. To me it appears that the guest have dictated the terms of the interview before they agree to be interviewed. If this is the case, it should never be allowed in a functioning democracy, when talking to MP's. All MP's work for the people of these islands, all those that choose to appear on BBC news programmes must be ready to justify their statements to the people. The BBC should be the voice of the people (after all we pay for it) and it should not allow politicians, or think tank representatives or anybody else to go unchallenged on what they say. If not, then don't invite them to comment and report on the news subject anyway. Also, please stop reading out written statements as a response to a given subject. These are often used by indivduals or groups that are afriad to be challaged. If the characters concerned in a story are not available or unwillingly to appear then tough, run the story anyway. I understand that there is a policy of impartially in place, but it is evident to all, that the policy is getting in the way of what used to be great journalism, or it is simply being used as an excuse for failure to properly address the concerns of the viewing public. Poor political journalism, leads to poor politicians. To those at the BBC if you read this, please bring back the great days of Paxman, Day and Frost and please grow a pair for the good of the country. That said, I still love the BBC, just not BBC News.

Paid for subscription but not able to access any digital content

Despite liaising with the Customer Engagement team for a week now, I am still unable to access any content on either the app or website, despite having paid for a subscription to access digital content.I have asked for this issue to be escalated this to an official complaint now, as this is absolutely not acceptable and I am very frustrated that this issue is still ongoing. I have paid for a subscription that they are not providing which is about as criminal as it gets. You expect to receive what you pay for.[Other reviewers, please give them your honest thoughts on their Google Maps page as well - search 'Daily Telegraph newspaper publisher, 111 Buckingham Palace Road.]

The weakest excuse for ‘news’ I’ve ever seen. Up there with Daily mail. Disappointing that some of their ‘news’ is clearly paid advertising from companies to promote their products.

The best thing I ever did was unsubscribe to instant ink. The issues that caused. Now using the Smart app things are relatively easy. I have bought a new HP Pavilion laptop in February 2024. Its working okay at the moment. But let me say I did not buy that direct from HP. I bought it from Currys UK. So they will be my first port of call if anything goes wrong.

Overwhelmingly 1* Reviews Says It All

Well I think that the fact that the reviews here are overwhelming 1-star rated says it all.Possibly THE WORST level of customer service i've ever experienced. and it's not a one-off, this is the norm for them. there just ISNT any customer service. it's just an exercise in giving the customer the runaround by one department after another shirking you off to another, and that's if you can even find someone to get into a dialogue with. how are they still in business?! are they that arrogant? i will NEVER buy an hp product again, i swear.

An Advertising Racket - Timeshare Sales Style

A horrible company to do business with, exacerbated by the monopoly they have on search engines. Firstly their advertising sales team is relentless. Then they give false information about how long their appointments will take (over an hour). They get you to commit to campaigns, promise follow-up calls to optimise your campaign which don't arrive and when eventually they do, once your campaign is up and running they bombard you with recommendations promising more sales that commit you to over-budget.Worse part, is when you cancel your campaign and advertising account, your search engine ranking disappears. Mine was great before I ever placed an ad. Disgusting people to do business with.

Really helpful architects

Really helpful architects, provided us with some inspirational ideas for converting an old chapel into a home, but maintaining the original character of the building which is listed. Liaised with planners and submitted the finalised proposal plans on our behalf. Delighted to have now received listed planning consent and absolutely delighted to work with Jane and Steve .

Review of crypto

No one responds.

All I want to do is speak with a representative about removing my funds from crypto earn. I have sent support multiple messages over the span of 3 days now with not so much as an acknowledgement. They don't even acknowledge you. I've sent messages and emails and no one replies. How does this company support tens of millions of people with no live support? I need help and there is no one. My issue is not difficult and they've made it a difficult. Why won't anyone reply? Why won't anyone help?Edit: Your reply is to tell me to contact the same channels in order to get support? So I come here leaving a review of how I don't receive support when calling or emailing, and your reply is for me to do it again? What kind of response is that? This reply here is EXACTLY what they do on the app and in email. They don't help you, they just tell you to wait, or to message them, and nothing ever happens. 5 days now with no support. I've messaged them every single day with no response. I call and get hung up on after being told they can't help. This company simply does not have customer supportEdit: Day 6 now with no reply or support. Just another canned template response via email from another bot.Edit: Day 7 with no reply or support. Today crypto.com closed my support message on the app without even responding and for the 7th day in a row did not reply via email. The message in the app literally says "Not seen" and then "Closed" right after that. They do nothing.Edit: Day 8 with no support. They told me there was no way they could remove funds from crypto earn. I cited section 3.3.4 of their own document regarding crypto earn which states they can remove the funds. They then responded and said they could do it, as long as I proved to them I was in a medical emergency... So now they admit they can remove the funds, but only if I'm in medical emergency. Unfortunately for them, and for me, I AM. So I tell them I'll send the bills proving it and now they will not reply again. Whatever they can do to hassle me.

Review of coursera

Coursera sucks

Coursera sucks. Will never be using again. I canceled my subscription a while back, but am seeing a pending charge for today. Trying to reach them is futile, so I'm leaving this comment in the meantime. Stay away from them, you're better off at Study.com.
