A company that is constantly being sued for extorting businesses into subscribing so that those businesses can suppress bad reviews is now calling out businesses who purchase good reviews.
Yelp is just a shitty company.
- pbharrin 14y agoWell put! Don't forget to mention that Yelp has never turned a profit.
- andrewljohnson 14y agoCould you substantiate that claim? I did a few Google searches, and I find your remarks to be, well... just wrong. As far as I can tell, there was a class action lawsuit against Yelp, which was dismissed, and a couple of other lawsuits from single business owners. I would imagine that any company the size of Yelp is going to get sued a few times, and I imagine a lot, if not all of those, are just bad small businesses. Are you just scurrilously slinging mud, based on a single headline you read sometime in the past? I find Yelp to be quite useful, and the people who I have met that worked there were good, hard-working souls.
