I'm astonished a new entrant was able to make any dent at all. Mostly it's impossible for newer or smaller entries to break into the top. They must have some velocity weight that The Shed exploited. All the social review sites have become review-farming contests, which makes them unreliable on the consumer side and frustrating on the producer side, and I don't know if that can be fixed. Yelp seems to do the best (at the cost of discouraging a lot of legitimate users by making their reviews disappear), but even so is not particularly good. I think a curated review program, perhaps with a taste-matching algorithm like Netflix, could work much better... if the economics can be worked out.
