Organizations like Yelp live and die on their accuracy and predictive ability. If Netflix recommends movies you don't like, you will use it less. If Zagat allows too much personal preference, it will no longer be the gold (Maroon?) standard of crowd sourced restaurant reviews.
If half the things suggested about Yelp are true, they risk their integrity at great peril.
- cHalgan 15y agoActually, Yelp can play game like this and be profitable. If business have a good rating on Yelp, then that pretty much mean that business is ok. However, a bad rating might be because business was not nice with Yelp sales people. That is ok because they target small, unestablished, businesses which you will never discover that they are actually excellent business because they have just one star review. In other words, advertising at Yelp does not guarantee you a good review. However, not being nice with their sales people might get you a bad review if you are a small business. And this is absolutely nothing new.
