That would be wonderful - but we have a long way to go before Yelp loses credibility (for better or for worse). For some reason, lots of people trust them. They shouldn't, but they do.
- Centigonal 12y agoWell, I don't like how Yelp does business, and I've heard some horror stories about how Yelp reviews have crippled smaller businesses, but I don't know of any good alternatives, and the service has directed me to a passable restaurant every time I've used it. Until Yelp's sort-of-extortionist practices start affecting its users and someone makes an alternative, it's going to be hard to affect their user base.
