I've found yelp to be surprisingly accurate and helpful. I don't bother with Google reviews though

Comment trouvez-vous les meilleurs restaurants, salons et bars? Yes, le site d'avis autrefois omniprésent, a perdu de sa popularité ces dernières années.

Of course. People have discovered that people don’t have good taste or judgement.

There was no fake news before we had a fake president.

There has always been Fake News (since Cronkite retired). Trump was the first President to call it out. Any updates on that two year Trump-Russia story you pumped daily for two years?

How about all the fake reviews on Amazon?

'Here's how a look at the...' Um, how a look? I don't know. How a look indeed.

Wait, so shaking down small businesses for “premium accounts” in order to get ranked higher in searches *isn’t* the best way to run a recommendation company?

I still use it almost daily. Yelp probably has too much influence on the places I choose to give my business 😂

This is why yelp has no credibility. boycottyelp

Yelp is garbage

To Yelp marketers, here’s my focus group findings just for you, free: forcing people to move to your app from your mobile site destroys UX, drives people away and erodes any goodwill you may have once had...

Google and Google Maps.

I don't like going to them

Yelp, it sure has. cheesy

Who is that? Fredo?

Checkout instacryptonews , they have a great service too.

That’s because Yelp sided with owners on reviews. It hides negative reviews, letting up front the positive ones... If I would like a honest review on a business, I will check somewhere else, not Yelp...

Yelp's majority deranged wannabes. threatening with bad reviews if not cutting in line, &threating the servicer for all inclusive without extra charge because they'll put his name. the servicer isn't the food establishment the cook is. dmv should have 50% yelp = dmv is a must go

Useful / great app but how they interact with small business owners has been atrocious

And let’s not forget the annoying “must open in app” when trying to read a review or see a picture in maps. I could easily download yelp but then why integrate it to maps? Just for that i won’t download it.

There are a lot of 'fake' or competitor reviews that sneak into Yelp. So credibility might be about 50/50.

Why it’s so upsetting to see Barbra Streisand and Diana Ross defend Michael JacksonDiana Ross and Barbra Streisand’s comments echoed the most upsetting aspects about the Jackson saga, the way many fans defend him in the face of his victims’ harrowing accounts. He is a monster, and the world is filled with them now, God save our children. 1. Why would the guy keep the gold rings? If someone who assaulted me gave them to me, they would have been disposed of or sold long ago. 2. They have kids, why hurt Michaels kids? They didn't need to say who did it to them if they want to help others. What is it with half arsed reporting nowadays! Sensationalism at its very worst! When you can provide one iota of fact in this dramatically structured Gutierez based paedophilic romanticism of a film I will happily change my mind! Ask Dan Reed about the “hard evidence” underwear
