I stopped using Yelp after I discovered that reviews I logged to the site were not showing if I was not "logged in" to Yelp. What is the point of using a social review repository if the reviews are only viewable by me, when I log in to the site? I'd be better served by putting it in a text file/directory.
- bkbleikamp 15y agoIt's not a democracy - Yelp pushes the best reviews to the top. Most people read a couple of reviews, it serves Yelp's interest to make sure they read the best ones.
- derwiki 15y agoWhy the downvotes? I'm sure everyone thinks highly of their own reviews, but let's be honest -- not everyone is Walt Whitman.
- pauljonas 15y agoSo, in other words, I as the user contributing reviews for which makes Yelp valuable, are treated as a de facto ruffian, my time and effort expended to "share" considered folly. So Yelp "filters" these and beyond wasting my time (as I should just collect in my own file of reviews or "share" on my own site) is it not a great conflict of interest going on here?
