What's funny to me is that so many apparently believe their opinion matters. Who gives a flying f&ck about a stranger's review of a something?
Sure there could be reviews done by honest, well meaning, albeit self absorbed people. To a degree, I gotta agree with Scott. Anyone with an axe to grind immediately gets on the internet and blares it out to the world. When I see a bad review I weigh it with the number of good reviews, plus what I know about dealing with the public....which is a chore on any given day.

Ingwe and steelhead nailed it. Yelp is the biggest scam and review site for complaints. We have a family run business that's been in the service industry since 1905, same location for 62 years. First thing a new potential customer says is they've heard great things, but our yelp reviews aren't great! Try to explain we attempt to make things right, but general public sometimes only hear what they want. Yelp doesn't exactly let you lay out a rebuttal and no chance it will be at the top. If we don't meet a customer's demands, first threat is yelp. We just laugh it off now, never have had one reverse the review after they had issue resolved. We had a customer use us, go on yelp and bitch. Four months later used us again and went and bitched. Found out who he was.....since most hide under some name. He never personally made an attempt to discuss any issues. Mind you, this is the same guy who yelped the [bleep] hot dog at Costco........you talk about WTF.

Can you post a review of Yelp itself? TFF

Yelp is a 'voice' for voiceless idiots.

I don't either but Yelp must be paying Google a lot of money because a search for almost anything will start off with a lot of Yelp reviews.

Actually, it's not. I use it all the time for restaurants. Have found many a little Mom & Pop with great food, as well as good new joints that pop up. Have found it be one of the best ways to search out and find new places to eat, without being a slave to the chains. Plan on using it on the road trip Mannlicher and I have coming up very soon to Wyoming. I use it to for reviews for businesses on occasion, but not much. See See what? That you're some jagoff troll who thinks his angry elf opinion matters more than the sum of everybody else's? GFY.

Just think, one of those little Mom and Pop restaurants will have Yelp try to extort money from them holding your 5 star rating hostage until they get it. If they don't get the money, your rating gets killed! Never seen that personally and I've been using Yelp for restaurant lookups for years. Not saying it couldn't happen.

It's a tool. It gets missused often, like many tools. Certainly doesn't mean it has no merit.
Reminds me of folks that bitch about social media.......on social media. Lol.

An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool.
the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

Yelp is what it is, simply a reflex. Stub your toe and you yelp, just like your dog does when it runs into a wasp nest. There is no thinking involved.
precision is group shooting, accuracy is hitting your intended target.

Seems pretty close to a "protection racket" to me, if you really think about it.....
