It's because we used to regulate against the ability to sell something which didn't do the main task it purported to do. Was that not the entire point of the BBB?
Here's one marketer's belief about its value in 2022:
"at this point, I believe the only people who still think the BBB means something are the older generation. And business owners seem to pursue BBB accreditation mainly so they can slap a logo seal on their site." - https://www.blogmarketingacademy.com/better-business-bureau/ https://www.blogmarketingacademy.com/better-business-bureau/
- eru 4y agoNot sure what the BBB has to do with regulation? They are just a private organisation. (And you are right, that they don't do a good job of what they are ostensibly trying to do.) > It's because we used to regulate against the ability to sell something which didn't do the main task it purported to do. If someone lies about what the product can do, can't you just sue them for fraud or so? (Do a class action lawsuit, if the individual damages are too small.)
