6 or 8 years ago I used Yelp often. But when they began to insist on showing me e.g. 12 McDonalds when I searched for $Specific_Local_Burger_Place, showing sponsored results up top to obscure the restaurant I just clicked on, and tried to force me to use their app instead of their web site, I began walking toward the exit. When I found out later how they were running a protection racket to shake down restaurants, I ran for the exit. Nice restaurant review service you have there, Yelp. Be a shame if something happened to it. Especially if that something was your own damn fault.
