I noticed it was increasingly easy to get memberships; I saw several groups promoting free AL memberships as a side benefit last year. Now it's free to join, apparently. Not sure if these numbers capture that shift, but loss of subscriber revenue was, apparently, a plus not a minus.
It was more useful when it was limited to paying members. I'm sure IAC sees easy profit in shifting to a "if you're not the customer, you're the product" model.

- magic_beans 9y agoThe good thing about Yelp is that if you actually read through 1- and 2- star reviews for otherwise highly rated restaurants or services, you realize pretty quickly that it is the reviewer with some sort of problem, and not the service.
