Whether their reviews are useful or not, the point is that there are many fake bad reviews on their site that I am inclined to believe were written by trolls in their company. They then get you to try to sign up with an advertising package that is very expensive. Only then will they help you.

Then there is the ignorance factor thrown in the mix by the reviewers which really can make things interesting.

The bottom line is they are money grubbers driven by wall street, corporate and personal greed like so many others.

Yelp reviews? They're most useful when you have a place that's been reviewed dozens of times, normalizing out the trolls and shills.

I do know they're pretty unresponsive when businesses try to contact them for corrections though. A guy who lives in town near me still has Yelp listing his auto detailing shop, despite closing the business down years ago. No matter how often anyone contacts Yelp to let them know the business is gone, they leave it up there.
