I don't think she deserves to lose her job or anything, but she definitely isn't doing her job RIGHT.
On Brainly, the people who give the answers are mainly students. Nobody on the site, at least from what I can tell, is a verified expert. These answers are from students who are not mutually affiliated with Brainly in any way. In that respect, Brainly is essentially a message board. Message boards are usually free to use by anyone.
Except this one wants you to pay to use that message board, otherwise it's going to block the answers behind a bunch of $#*!ty ads. The answers that the site isn't providing. The answers that don't come from experts in the fields. What a lazy, greedy, trashy company. Brainly can't even be bothered to put the effort in providing services that warrant it being paid, such as answers that actually come from verified experts. Yes, there is such thing as "verified" answers on the site, verified by "Brainly experts," but I must ask, who are these experts? I have had "verified" answers be incorrect as well. So I wouldn't always put a lot of trust into that.
Brainly can work, but it's also very faulty. It's entirely possible to get a wrong answer from someone. If the site didn't force you to pay a subscription in order to use it without wanting to blow your head off, I would be fine with that. But no. These greedy pricks want all the money without putting any work into anything. $#*!s.
However, if you ever have a problem, they will not give you the respect of a person who chooses to spend their hard earned money on their services.
Bottom line, don't do it... Don't use or pay Brainly.
First of all, people spread span there, posting rubbish.
And if you really have doubt all the answers given are wrong and people add their answers just for getting points not for helping people.
Plus most of the do not answer in a proper language and use slangs.
If you even thinking of just trying this app then you are going to regret it once you have read the question or got an answer to your question.
Other apps like Topper, Doubtnut etc. are far better.
So all in all this is the worst app ever.
Moving on, if you wish to answer questions, this is no-go zone See medias attached for detailed references.
Some of the moderators are unreasonable and harsh. For example, I reported an answer that violated the Honor Code, as it was copied STRAIGHT from Google. That answer was both marked brainliest and soon after my report, expert verified. I was very frustrated. One of MY answers was taken down by a moderator named "Katie" because it "violated community guidelines" when it absolutely DID NOT. I looked through the community guidelines and honor code and I found absolutely nothing against my answer. It was a simple statement that came without explanation, just like some other answers on the site. It did not have any language, statements of negative intent, plagiarism, etc. There is also a particular moderator named "JonHenderson55" who has been described as "unprofessional." I agree. This moderator gave me a warning- which others can see on your profile- for answering someone's question with a quote from another question. I wanted to help and I was not aware that this violated community guidelines. His removing my comment was reasonable, but a full-on warning for something I didn't know was against the guidelines? I think a warning should be given to someone who has SERIOUSLY and intentionally violated guidelines. He also deletes a majority of comments under his answers.
Even former moderators have warned against relying on this site.
Overall, I believe that Brainly has potential because it serves as a friendly, safe hub for students alike to help others.
However, this site seems to rely a lot on the students answering questions rather than the moderators and "experts" verifying answers. I like that there is a voting system so you can see which answer is the most credible, but to me $2-3 a month for student answers is not worth it.
I asked a question regarding the drama "Antigone" (which is what I'm learning about for my English class), I decided to be generous and gave the question 100 points (which means that two people can answer the question and Brainly both get 50 points). I got an answer from one person that said "idk but good luck". Of course, as soon as I read it, I reported the answer and it got taken down shortly afterwards. But that same person re-answered my question by saying "I might be able to answer this but I am not sure." Then another person answered my question, and the answer they gave was very detailed. I was going to mark their answer as Brainliest, until I copied their answer to my clipboard and pasted it to my Google search bar, and I got a pleasant surprise; the answer they gave me was from Wikipedia, and we all know how teachers are about Wikipedia.
Of course, I wasn't really surprised about my experience. I mean it's the internet after all. It was quite obvious that they both answered my question for the sole purpose of obtaining 50 points. I just want to say that If you want a good answer from Brainly, you kinda have to cross your fingers and hope you get lucky enough to get a good answer instead of some troll that just wants points. But at the same time, be sure to not use up a lot of points for a question (like I did) because that will increase your chances of getting unhelpful answers.
The thing is, if you use a little bit of points to ask a question, it has higher chances of being ignored and left unanswered, but if you use a lot points to ask a question, you'll get answers, but most of the time it's just people who'll give you an unhelpful answer for the points.
In conclusion, the website has good intentions, but the users on this website are kind of a problem. So just be aware of what this website's users have to offer.
I $#*!ing paid premium for this $#*!
EDIT:
Oh boy. Oh boy. Let me tell you all a STORY.
Here I am, doing my work, asking a question, then I get a notification to pick which answer on a question I DESPERATELY need and I click on it. And it's gone.
The mods deleted it.
The reason section is blank.
$#*! this website. Use answers.com
Brainly provide much better help (and not random users guessing to get points) and don't charge you money.
Brainly has changed a lot, and unfortunately it wasn't for the best. I'm not sure why they needed to charge money when they get so much grant funding. Perhaps it's greed.
Brainly makes you complete captcha's over and over again, over 5 times sometimes.
Also brainly made me get a 20 on school work, I was asking for help, and Brainly gave the wrong stuff. Good thing I could retake it a few times.
Brainly is a sucky site I would not recommend using.
Also, some people just use brainly to talk when they are bored, and sometimes they are really rude and just post random stuff for an answer because they want the points, and I report them, but brainly does nothing about it. I think one star is reasonable for this site. STAY AWAY FROM BRAINLY.COM
I saw another review and i thought to edit this saying that the users on brainly are the problem, not necessarily the website k bye tEEhEE: 3))
Everything wrong with this website (almost everything):
"u should say that um peeps dont deserve other people to answer their questions because Brainly should be smart enoug to do it themself"
"It's actually pretty good but some people are just a little... um you get the idea."
And this was the request I posted on brainly originally:
I'm writing a review on brainly.com and I need suggestions on what I should say. By the way, I'm giving this website a 1 star. I want to include the fact that people are trying to get others into a meeting with them on a website that has children on it.
Yes, you read that last part correctly. I am a bLeEp-year-old child trying to retrieve help on a website where there are adults trying to get others into their meetings. These adults encourage CHILDREN to show their bodies on camera.
Other problems with this website:
People spread their personal information on here (address, socials, etc.).
Not everyone is willing to come up with a proper answer (ex: many only answer questions for the "points" they will earn after).
MANY and when i say many i mean MMMMMMAAAAAANNNNNNYYYYYY people post questions like these:
"ooof im bored, anyone wanna talk.-."
"anyone got padlet?" [padlet is a social media platform]
"Hi everyone here are some free points!"
AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEEEEEAAAASSSSSSTTTT:
"Zoom meeting in progress my sister is waiting right now. Join Zoom Meeting Meeting ID: ### #### #### Passcode: ######"
The id and passcode were removed on purpose btw (0-0').
K den that's kinda it THINK TWICE BEFORE LETTING UR KIDS USE IT
Also another fact is that everytime I look up an answer it says that I have to watch two 1 minute ads (sometimes 3), In which I kinda get it because Brainly doesn't want other kids to look up the answer instead of actually learning. But about 97% of the time it always does that, and it rarely lets me look at the answer without watching two 1 minute ads, and it gets annoying very quickly if you aren't actually cheating
However, I'm glad this website exist because like I said, it helps me figure out hard questions that aren't found in other websites, but again it's a good but sometimes annoying website.
