Review of Bumble


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

If this dating site doesn't even care…

If this dating site doesn't even care that they have a 1.2 review rating, almost the lowest possible rating of any thing ever on here, what chance do you have of even swaying them a little bit or getting anything close to support? They have changed a few things recently, and that only makes them terrible. And they are terrible. They skew towards women which is is common but in doing so they basically ensure that if you're on that site, you're going to stay single and stay on that site. Until you realize that it has nothing to offer you, and face the reality that without this website, you have even that chance of a snowflake in hell no longer there. They're selling you hope. Not hope that you'll find somebody, hope that they might change and become a respectable reputable site someday and actually help you find somebody, because everyone knows that these people are the most charitable jackals in the third ring of hell. Incidentally the most charitable ring of hell.
I recently matched with somebody and for the first time it was somebody in my town. They looked interesting and I would like to know who they are but I couldn't see their name before they disappeared as soon as I click their name. I contacted support and support said that they are aware of the problem. That's all. There's a problem. They are aware of it. And tough. Sorry about losing the one person that you've been on this site looking for for three or four years, and that even though we probably could look it up, we're not going to. In fact you're not even going to talk to you human being but to a machine that is instructed to do nothing to help you even if they could. So that's one thing. One thing that actually happened to me. Just a few moments ago I got a like and I went to go check it out. They weren't for me but, next to them was this little note that said, expand your preferences and see the other two people that are into you as well! It didn't say what preferences. So I don't know what the hell they're talking about. So I expanded them all. And at the end of it all those two people weren't even there anymore apparently. So were they lying? The answer is yes. They are lying. That's what they do. They said they had a website that was there to help you find somebody to date. And maybe there was one maybe there wasn't. They lied about something. Whether it was that I had to change my preferences, or whether there were two people who liked me then I couldn't see, or any other number of things but, the fact the matter is that they've already vetted their own site, and the only real reason you are there is to pay them money. That's what it's down to. And if they have to lie about it, not only can they but they definitely will. And they're getting away with it. And they will continue to get away with it. So, bear that in mind. And try not to patronize them because they're not nice people. They might hire some nice people but I'm sure those people are rather sad about the fact that they work for this place. As far as soulmates or ideal mate situations go you have a better chance of falling over your soulmate the next time you walk out of your front door. If there was a chance that they could set you up with one, they would make sure by all means that you could not and therefore leave the site. It's just something for you to figure out and if you read this, just know that's the way it is. Sorry about that and if sorry that you probably weren't aware of this either. I hope they change but honestly, what real motivation do they have?

Review of palmbeachtan.com


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Does this look like melanoma?

The thing i strongly dislike about this company is simply their business practices. I have fair skin, but need SOME small, almost trivial amount of uv exposure for healthy skin. But they only will sell MEMBERSHIPS... WHICH COERCES you to use the xxxxed things when you don't need to, which is NOT HEALTHY.

I HAVE used the place twice in 6 months, and recently just changed my bank card... and they'll not be in on the new number. I didn't see a cancellation button on the bill that comes, I can't leave a message, so that's that.

It's another class action waiting to happen. I hate being pressured into something i know i don't need. A tanning membership is up there with an extra set of armpits... just let people buy single tans, when they NEED them. ...go ahead and inflate the price. It's better (for us, not you) than paying month after month, which you'll gladly take for nothing. That's a real irritant... worse that that weird black mole on my face... oh no!
Oh, and another thing with the membership, is the several pages of legalese which is tantamount to you signing away from any chance of a claim, even if they nuke you with a plutonium lamp... lol.

I suggest doing something better for your body, like a health club, or a CIGAR CLUB. At least you can hold on to the cigars even if you don't want to smoke them... and generally, the cigars don't smoke YOU. Case in point!

Review of Firefly Adobe


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

It's pretty bad

It's pretty bad. Sometimes you get lucky and it does something that's not completely the opposite of what you're trying to do. Sometimes you put your grandma in for a little bit of upscaling and you get a bunch of Gibbons from The Monkey House or some completely abstract piece of garbage. There's no confirmation, there's no communication at all. There's no registering or notice that your commands have been understood. Just a lot of frustrating and arguably expensive time being wasted. I don't know if these guys just got on the train a little late here, but taking up some of the slack that they let build up would probably be the better thing to do right now because people aren't buying this kind of lameness for the most part. Also, unless your image is rated G +, has cute kittens and rainbows and puppy dogs, it's going to have a problem doing anything with your shit. If you're kissing your girlfriend, it somehow registers that as pornographic. It literally won't do anything that is considered to be too racy for Lawrence Welk in Prime Time Circa 1963. I wish I could say this was a good experience. I wish I could say I didn't pay for it. I wish I could say there was something else out there that wasn't absolutely pointless and useless. I haven't found it yet. I do think that if there was an attraction at the carnival, as a mutated specimen of life that was created by accident one of these scenarios here on these wretched things, and you put the logos from Google and photoshop on this person and charge people 20 or 30 bucks to beat them over the head with a baseball bat, you probably make a lot of money. If you could somehow convince them that the personification of all the things that frustrate and confound them are right there in front of them they would pay you for the privilege to beat the crap out of it. That's how frustrating it is.

Review of Polar Haircare


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Works like nothing! I got a steaming pile of nothing!

I ordered through the site, and waited for confirmation. When I got no confirmation I felt a little bit worried so I went back on the site to check on my order. And they had a basic form that said you can check on your order here. But then it wants my order number. Which I haven't been given! So I can't check on my order. I can only see on my bank statement where they charge me and I just said polar that's it. Just polar. They can also include order numbers by the way but they neglected to do that. So I've gone on their site and I see there's a phone number to call. It says we're sorry but we're busy helping other people right now but if you wish to hold you can and then it hangs up on you. Every time. I don't see how they're helping anybody if they're hanging up on everybody else. Just call it a hunch.
I don't know why every time I go online for any freaking thing, no matter how many good things I've heard, which are probably all just fake anyway, they just can't do the basic due diligence of sending me the crap that doesn't work so I can complain about that instead. They can't even get the hustle together to that degree. That's setting the bar pretty low if you ask me.
I was kind of excited to try this stuff. And well, that wore off pretty quick. I wish this was just a little bit less of an uneventful reaming, but here we are. No customer service. No really anything as far as I can tell this could be a dude with a coconut telephone on his own Island somewhere cleaning up on this stuff. So just beware. If you don't have a bank that will go after these weasels, you might be in for a similar kind of experience. I can't even make jokes about this stuff anymore.

Review of Wondershare UniConverter


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

If the trial bites, then the product isn't worth it. Do better, exponentially better!

Well... nothing like trying a product out with a trial and it telling you you've already used the trial when you've just downloaded it! LOL... DOES THAT WORK? Apparently so! They're still here. But in my case, they're axed. I just hope I don't have any adware or mystery ailment show up that they'll have the only cure for! Quit being shady, guys! Make a longer trial... if there's a GLITCH in the trial, and that's literally the most important incentive you have towards people purchasing it, then how many glitches should we expect from there? And support? Who knows... I looked for about five minutes and came here. That's how it works! Do better!

Review of Paypal


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

No longer protecting you, but have gone to the dark side!

I used to think they were cool for basic protection in this wild wild west era of internet sales. I didn't have it for a while after a bad experience on ebay, and recently tried it again, only to find that customer service next to nil and now they're in bed with the biggest scammers on the net!

Literally, now they have the top ten shady sites using THEM to make it ALL LEGAL-ISH... I mean, wow! You used to have a prayer of a chance to get out of a predatory site's clutches, but now they're literally operating in the same Grey area.

I look for them to be dismantled when an honest administration gets in office. Don't think for a moment they're making it safe anymore. Unless you're a shady corporation operating without a physical address, they're not there for you! Those days are over. The dark side came calling, and made them an offer too rich to turn down.

Creative Fabrica was my wake-up call. The shadiest company out there that I've found, but operating with impunity under the protective banner of PayPal. Well, now we know who's pal they are!

I found the creative fabrica photo-editing as sub par, or more accurately bait and switch, so I opted out before the 30 day trial, only to find i had been charged for a FULL YEAR within minutes. When I filed a claim, they blocked me from the site. I showed them the 30 day trial guarantee and that they charged me for a year and then blocked me. They said "all fine", claim denied. They didn't get this rating for nothing! Be aware, their tentacles are in lots of places. venmo... etc.

Review of Creative Fabrica


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Replace Your Loved Ones With SPIKE & CANDY!

Edit: complete predatory practices. Visit the reddit. Unfortunately they've fluffed these reviews with tons of shills. There are tons of horror stories. PayPal is in on the scam, and will be gone too.

Well for starters they got me with the 30-day trial. Only I was charged the next day. They have some fine print in which they say if you use it and save them something blah blah blah, basically there's no 30-day trial if you actually use the thing. So that's not really a 30-day trial.

The crazy thing is they removed the Google reviews for this, and I wonder why? The first day I was getting some decent results and so I said sure I'll take a 30-day trial. Then they charged me. And then the whole thing changed. Different page, different results entirely.

The first thing I tried after they took my money was to edit a picture of my late wife and I on stage. I put in a lot of instructions but tried to keep them simple and I also put in some other source material with our faces on it so it could have something to work with. I don't know what this editor is supposed to do, or what it considers so I thought this would all help. What I got was Spike and Candy.

So basically non-generative AI is going to try and extrapolate a higher resolution picture from the one that is given and can do some incredible things. In lieu of that, we have generative AI which will effectively replace details with details from some other place and what we have in this instance is a completely regenerated pair of people! Who I have playfully named Spike and Candy!

They showed up in every picture! And more than that, my guitar which is a Stratocaster, turned into a Jazzmaster, then was a sunburst, and then a Olympic White which is what it was supposed to be, and then in several other pictures, a combination of half Olympic white and half sunburst. This is proof of concept. The concept being that they are using generative AI, and if your picture means anything to you, or the people in the picture, you must realize that if you use this there's a good chance that your loved ones will be replaced by Spike and candy!

They are the composite algorithms that they have within the network that they use and it is a sealed Network, in which they will pretty much turn up everywhere that they're a little algorithm fits. So not only did they replace us entirely they added an extra 30 years and a stint in rehab by the looks of it!

I will likely have to tell my bank that this was and unwanted charge, and they will block it and basically I will have learned my lesson.

Thankfully it won't be an expensive one, but they really should practice better business. I'm not sure why the results I had before I forked over the money we're different and better and the results after which were entirely unacceptable, but obviously this is something that is working for them and I doubt they're going to stop doing it. They elected to make certain business decisions that were Shady and I would advise them rehabilitate their system to offer what they advertise, but unless this Shady business actually impacts their bottom line, it's likely they won't stop.

Now you might say, that this is simply the way that we look when the photos are cleared up and the detail is added, but I would have to correct you in saying that in no way does my guitar resemble a sunburst, or a jazzmaster. It has a completely different body style and even the outline of it as a silhouette would obviously be that of a Stratocaster. What's Happening Here is the AI is appropriating bits and pieces of what it has in its database and appropriating those bits and pieces and replacing them on your picture.

Because i don't believe the site here will allow a web address, or allow pictures or data, you can see the offending pictures on archive DOT org, under the title "creative Fabrica BLOOPERS"

And as for these folks saying they want screen shots, or me to do their work, they've already said that in the fine print it says 30 days, or blah blah, basically if you use it. Don't believe me or them, check other feedback, except not google, as they paid to have their name removed from google reviews, which is why thousands have left feedback on the local dutch business reviews on Google, which now google is pruning back by the hundreds every day. And paypal is in bed with them, so paypal is now made of dark matter... the only thing they have left to buy is a presidential pardon and an m1 license to kill. Then the real AI revolution happens, and your CD player BIFURCATES you another extra foot or two... lol

Review of Budget Car Rental


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

It's like that episode of Seinfeld..

It's like that episode of Seinfeld... I don't think you know how to take a reservation! I mean sure you can take them! But keeping them! That's the real secret to taking a reservation right? Yes! Yes it is! But they got me twice in one day! I now have $500 worth of pending transactions that I'm hopefully going to get refunded for but after reading this little group of reviews I'm worried about that as well! Silly me, I didn't know Avis and budget were the same company! And when I came down to getting the address of the new place it was the same as the old one! And I told the lady, they don't have cars there! It's the same as Avis right? Well no they're different companies. Are they? But it's the same building! Right. The same building where they told me they didn't have any cars. Well she assured me that they did! And then I should just trust her and put some money down. I said well, I'm going to feel really dumb for trusting you if I go up there and there's no car there like I'm pretty sure there's not going to be! Oh there's definitely a car there. Spoiler alert, there was no car! Just a guy there wondering why I was coming back. I lost a lot of money on this, and a job as well. I'm thinking about making this an issue. That they should lose a little bit on this colossal bundling and share a little bit of the loss. Because apparently they have no regard for how much money or time they lose for you. When you're a business professional you hope to be dealing with other pro's... not people with the values, morals, scruples and compassion OF JACKALS. It seems so unsatisfying to leave a negative review, when chasing them out of town with a stick seems a little on the soft side as well. It wouldn't surprise me if they were only operating after paying for a presidential pardon! All I can say is, rent from them only if you have backup arrangements, you like it rough, and have a penchant for self flagellation. And if you call to complain, don't let them snooker you again! That lady I talked to could have been the head jackal! No, I don't need a car, I need a PRIEST! Consider yourself warned!
