Dishonestly ptesents advertising as if news headlines, so that the user has to open the link to find out that it was just an advertisement all along. Example headline: "The Importance of Prayer: How a Christian Gold Company Stands Out by Defending Americans’ Retirement, November 2, 2023." The long, linked "article" concludes with, "Those who want to protect their life’s savings with a self-directed IRA backed by physical precious metals should reach out to Genesis Gold Group today."

Too many ads. On the site and app. App has trouble loading and scrolling through an article to just read is nearly impossible. Terrible all around.
