Yelp tells you which restaurant to go to.
I must've missed that button in the app. Probably a good thing, since the places it recommends are gonna be full of straw men.
- gfodor 6y agoYou're arguing semantics. If Yelp reduces the choices for you down to a ranked list, it introduces a huge amount of bias in your decision. And if you use it relatively deterministically, you've consequentially changed your behavior in a way such that an outside observer will eventually be able to predict your behavior with high probability, if they understand what Yelp is showing you. In that sense, "telling you" starts to be a sane thing to think, even if it's not literally telling you the exact singular place to go.
