Well, 2 things mainly:
1. Auto scraping other people's photos and reposting is a bit morally gray. He claims he stopped doing this in an edit to the article and now only scrapes royalty free stock photos
2. (Automatically?) posts guaranteed positive reviews for restaurants in exchange for goods (without disclosing this fact?)
It would be one thing if he got a free meal in exchange for an honest review (good or bad). But an automated, guaranteed good review without disclosing you received a free meal is slimy in my book because it breaks down the trust of the review system.
How can you tell if the ratings are from real people or paid bots?
