Its not really taking advantage when you advertise the business though

  It's taking advantage of the system overall, because it's based on abusing the trust implied by the rating system. As a user, I'm reading a positive review of a place and I'm unaware this review was posted in exchange for a free meal (in other words, bought).

    This is what bothers me the second-most about the whole Influencer system. What bothers me the most is how many people see no problem with that, which feels to me like a much bigger problem we have as a society (essentially: the growing disconnect between motive and perceived motive in information distribution and the fact that everyone is OK w that).

    i believe not disclosing that you were compensated in some way violated US federal law. I seem to recall that Kim Kardasian get busted for such.
