I see a lot of people saying this must be illegal, and the reason Yelp hasn't been sued is because restaurant owners can't afford legal fees. Isn't this the purpose of class action lawsuits? If Yelp is actually doing something illegal here, certainly, there's enough money to hire great counsel to represent all restaurant owners who are affected by this policy change.

I’m sure the restaurant will be very happy to receive their $15 Yelp Ad credit 7 years down the road.

  Still, if this is as obviously illegal as most people here are claiming it is, wouldn't a law firm take the case for free in exchange for a percentage of the fee Yelp will need to pay?

  A class action is more about punishing the wrongdoing than any recovery.
