I can't even begin to describe how terribly put together this website is. It's like some college student slapped a proof-of-concept together, got a bunch of funding from his uncle and just blew it all on his vices, with no intention of actually improving the site. Like... you can't add more than one entry to the "experience" section of your profile. If you read the body of the 404 error (which isn't even the right error for a POST header with malformed data!) sent back from AngelList's API, it says "That entity has already been tagged." That's how little thought was put into this site! According to AngelList, you can't work at a place twice! I can't believe this infernal site has been up for this long and no one at this "company" has never had a thought to fix their blasted website!

If you go to Seeking Alpha you will be bombarded with ads. What's more? They added a modal that asks you to register and that is impossible to block. If you do, the site becomes unusable and the developer purposefully made it extremely hard to get rid of the registration modal event along with the scrolljacking and other assorted tricks they use to make sure you never ever get rid of the registration modal unless you register. That wouldn't be an issue except if you do register, you get bombarded further with incredibly spammy emails, even if all you wanted was to read their articles in peace and give them clicks and ad revenue.

It's so underhanded and unethical in design that I worry whether the site is safe to use!

Seeking Alpha is infuriating and it doesn't help that they're often the first site that comes up when searching for news on business and the stock market. As far as I can tell they're run by a team of grey hat hucksters. Steer clear!
