Reminds me of how Yelp tortures small family owned businesses. Is this the endgame for any for profit review site like this?

  Might be. I've had the impression that a pretty recognizable name in this field all made up of B-words also functions in this way (not sure they're as expensive or as abusive, but still, same basic deal) Not what I'd call 'better' and possibly not even 'business' (and to the extent that bureau denotes a government agency, definitely nope). So maybe there's nothing new under the sun here? I would even go so far as to call this an inherent problem of trust and scale. As soon as the world's too large to experience things like business personally or with your own circle of trusted people, it's desirable to make some way to scale that, and it's inherently a cursed problem that always becomes abusive. (or possibly a cursed problem that more often than not becomes abusive)
