This doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. Yelp’s entire business model is high-jacking small business’ reputation and holding it hostage to extract money from the business. This is just more of the same. Steal a piece of the relationship between the customer and the business, then sell it back. Yelp is a hardship on all small businesses they interact with. They can’t go away fast enough. I mostly ignore them, but they’ve somehow inserted themselves into Apple Maps. It’s the only reason I refuse to use them over Google Maps and I hate it. Fuck Yelp. /rant
