Damn, didn't realise that Forbes Marketplace was run separately to Forbes itself. Knew it was always a parasite SEO operation, but the idea of it being a separate company entirely (and how much they tried to hide the fact) is really interesting here.
But yeah, it's still crazy that this site is even allowed in Google, and that they've shown no signs of cracking down on these types of parasite SEO schemes.
To be fair, Google HAS shown "signs" of cracking down on this; but they haven't actually done it in any useful capacity yet.
They call it "Site reputation abuse". https://developers.google.com/search/docs/essentials/spam-po...
