    Aren't they like an online mafia? If you don't pay for their services, they make it hell for you.

    If you don't pay them they leave your bad reviews up if you have any and take your good reviews down. They are garbage people.

    That's extortion. How is that a legal practice? What do they charge for a favorable set of reviews?

    It's their website, they're under no legal obligation to be accurate.

    What I can't believe is anyone actually uses Yelp for more than the search function of what is near you.

    Yelp is useless. Pretty much any online reviews are useless because nobody ever posts on them unless they're pissed off, and 99% of that is because they bought the wrong product or are using it wrong.

    99% of the good reviews are either the business owner or his friends/employees.

    I guess it's the argument of content hosting providers like YouTube vs publishers. A publisher can be held liable for something they post where a platform provider like YouTube is not responsible for what their creators post. But when you selectively choose what is visible that starts to blur the line.

    Yep. Same with Amazon reviews although you can usually get a decent feel for which ones are worth reading and which are stupid people bitching because they're too stupid to order the proper product.
     
  12. No wonder why when I look at the results I didn’t win every race I entered :) yes I know that’s a different leagal issue

    Isn’t a yelp the sound a dog makes when you step on it in the middle of the night shuffling to the shitter to demonstrate the extent of your prostate’s swelling?

    Yeah, I’m pretty sure the only ones who believe yelp reviews are the ones who cite Weekly World News articles on the existence of Bat Boy.
     
  14. Amazon reviews are useless with the exception of giving you a better feel for confirming the human race is doomed.

    Not sure, I wouldn't give them a dime. I eventually got them to stop with the constant harassing phone calls.
