MarketWatch has Cars.com as a top-rated way to sell a car. First off, I have had a car on Cars.com for almost 3 months, and only 2 emails stating that people were interested. Neither of the people from these emails contacted me back. Consumer Affairs has a 1.8 rating for Cars.com, which is much more accurate. MarketWatch must get money from and therefore spread propaganda about the companies they supposedly review. But then, MarketWatch has a 1.6 review iteself, nuff said. Do not take anything on a MarketWatch site as truthful.
I paid for a subscription which is 3.99 dollars each month for 1 year then 19.99 dollars it deducted from my account and never received the subscription + i sent them and email and called them but no use they kept telling me we dont have the subscription details.
MW is a classic steering operation. The entire focus is on retail investors (the only people who use it for investing). All the "news" and many of the articles are designed to steer investors to and away from stocks the big money wants retail investors to buy or sell.
Also, the MW "comments" on articles is a censorship operation just like all the other big online "news" outlets. If you don't agree with MW china-like corporate socialist world view your comments will be removed.
Cannot connect through any browser = less than useless. Emails to the alleged tech support, etc. go unanswered. Makes me think this is nothing but a click-bait site collecting data through the WSJ.
Can't fix my paid subscription. Blocks articles. Multiple texts. No answer. Inept IT completely. No answer no fix. Would like to get on.
I agree with a lot of the others that this platform is involved heavily in censorship of ideas they don't agree with, just like almost all the other big tech companies! Of course! Wonder how many Dimocrats run this site?
I used to enjoy MarketWatch as a good financial news source. Now I find most articles relate to some political issue commending the 'progressive' value or nullifying the conservative viewpoint. For example, all Congressional spending by Democrats is good, conservative ideas on (lower) spending is not. No longer is there equal reporting of both views of an issue; now they're only reporting the view that the editor supports. Sad to see MarketWatch go downhill like this.
Full of adds. Very difficult to Cancel. Was not getting digital subscription via email anymore. Had to block the future transactions through Amex to cancel. When I was sent to DOW Jones MARKETWATCH. Called May 18 They could not find my account subscription after 20 minutes on hold. Finally found and the poor phone connection with the offshore hard to understand support hung up. When the amex was not honored I started receiving email notices again. No email contact info on website to cancel. You have to call and have to be transferred to a different department to cancel. Followed them for a phone number to cancel. After 30 minutes finally canceled effective June 15. Would not refund previous month. The service stopped working in January. I knew it would be a nightmare to cancel.
Nothing but clickbait headlines to get you to pay them money and in return you get the most incredible garbage product. Do not waste your time with this... Don't even go to yahoo as they push this in their news feed... poor quality. Could do better with dixie cups and a string when it comes to getting information that is useful.
I am writing to bring to your attention the fact that the Dow Jones publication called MarketWatch blatantly and indiscriminately censors their users. I posted several comments that were clearly in line with their community guidelines and had them rejected indiscriminately. My comments were civil and factual, but apparently did not please their editorial staff. I immediately requested that they delete my account. I do not support the suppression of our freedoms of thought and expression in any way. I am bringing this to your attention because censorship on many social media platforms is rampant and must be brought to the public's attention if our hard-fought freedoms are to be preserved. Respectfully.
I've used market watch for awhile now and have noticed a politically fueled news feed. In their community guidelines for comments they praise being an open platform but all comments go through a editor who rejects all dissenting views. Shame on them.
Marketwatch has devolved into another narrative biased censorship platform. I have lots of emails where MW "approved" the comment and then minutes, days or weeks later those exact same comments are "rejected". I made one comment arguing against student loan forgiveness and the comment was "rejected". I replied asking why the comment was rejected only to immediately get over 20 prior comments rejected. Apparently the moderator got mad.
Still enjoying intelligent interaction on other platforms.
Title says it all. Half of my comments get rejected despite not going against any community guidelines. My opinions are often against what the "popular or right" opinion being offered is, but isn't that the entire point of a public discourse? No, they much more prefer to steer the conversation to suit their narrative, real journalism.
Marketwatch will never be honest about the criminal actions that are taking place on Wall Street. They never go after the hedgefunds that are naked shorting companies into bankruptcy. They never openly discuss the fact that the market is rigged against the individual investor.
They will tell you we do not refund money and they will want you to set up a dispute through your bank. AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE!
MarketWatch is nothing more than a doomsday market site. A lot of their articles are negative about the market and to when the next market crash will be. They have the audacity to charge a subscription of $19.99 for basic useless articles that can be found on other sites. If I'm going to pay for a subscription, I would want to read articles that are somewhat useful.
Everything on here is what they want you to buy not what you should be buying. Honestly meme stocks are the move 100% right now. Why do you think amc nor gme appear on their most shorted list lol.
Horrible manipulation of news, they are very inaccurate and would not recommend to anyone! HORRIBLE DO NOT USE!
Disgusting that this company is even still allowed to be in business. It is blatantly obvious that they are pumping their own agenda, backed and bankrolled by Citadel and other hedge funds. Absolute gutter trash, you guys are evil, pathetic, and bottom feeders.
Owned by the hedgefund Citadel to use news to control the stock to go up or down in their favor. Uses scare tactics.
