I've paid money for Angie's list, because I was more interested in the quality of reviews over the quantity of them. Seeing reviews from people who self-select to be part of a community that cares enough to pay (a little) adds value to me. I've essentially given up reading reviews on Amazon and Yelp, as there's so much noise. Maybe I'm just an elitist snob, but reading semi-literate "this place sux" reviews doesn't help me. Note: I'm just explaining the motivation. I'm not affiliated with or evangelizing for Angie's List, I'm a former customer who find a few decent referrals that way.
