Why do you use Yelp?
I've never needed it because every restaurant that I go to is on Google or maintains their own website. It's been known for years now that the reviews on Yelp are largely fake and they hide legit ones, so it's nearly useless for that as well. At least with Google Maps reviews, I can click on the reviewer and see the other places they've been.

- gwilikers 6y ago> the reviews on Yelp are largely fake Do you have a source for this?
- mywittyname 6y agoThere are a mountain of lawsuits with Yelp over fake reviews. This is a decent post, as it lists the outcome of a long-standing lawsuit (Yelp won) but also links out to several other lawsuits filed over the years about fake reviews on the site. https://blog.ericgoldman.org/archives/2020/03/yelp-finally-defeats-a-false-advertising-lawsuit-over-its-review-functionality-demetriades-v-yelp.htm https://blog.ericgoldman.org/archives/2020/03/yelp-finally-d...
