I've heard they treat their reviewers pretty badly, as well. Warning: this is anecdotal and only one reviewer. He was pressured to stop writing anything negative at all about certain restaurants until he quit reviewing for them altogether. If that is how they treat volunteer reviewers, I imagine it's worse for paid staff. In any case, I have enough bad feelings and stories about them to not trust anything Yelp publishes.
