Often when you browse a new coin you can see articles from Forbes or Huffington Post posted on their website. Are these companies paid for this? Cause especially Forbes seems to think every new coin is fantastic, full of potential and did I say amazing? How seriously should I take these articles?

Magazines like Forbes are here to promote coins through articles - create hype for something and see it's potential. Ultimately, Forbes' goal is to advertise and sell. So yes, they are probably paid.

That's just an advertisement, you have to know that nothing can not be solved by money. Paid advertising is nothing more than that. If you look at the news media disclaimers, you will see that if you lose money through advertising investment or face fraud, it is not the responsibility of the news media.

Of course everyone moves when there is money involved to a website like Forbes is a paid article. Its easy to spot a paid ads if want you see if full of garbage and just put there to promote their website or ICO's. And you should take those articles with a grain of salt.

But if it has caught your attention then I suggest you visit this forum and let more about that coin if its really worth to invest or not. Don't just rely on articles you found on website. Even crypto websites has a lot of paid advertisement like articles. But if you go look around, you will find the same articles which means it was only written to put a hype around it.

Dont rely your decision in terms of picking ICO thru mainstream crypto media. Best feedback is from bitcointalk and reddit, it was pure research unlike paid media. My best pick of ICO right now promise to bring us ease in payment system in terms of security and arbitration. you can check out for yourself their idea and website to witness it for yourself what is good beyond my choice. https://verify.as

I've seen the articles you speak of, I usually take them with a grain of salt and do my own research before investing in a company, that way I can only blame myself for making a poor investment.
