    Funny how a company that is known for extortion is parading itself as something that looks out for cheating in reviews.

          Yes I have a small business and I did the stupid thing of listing my business on Yelp. They will try manipulate you into getting into their ads and they ended up charging me $900 for one customer that I got.

        Same. I remember friends who owned a small restaurant early in the Yelp days who were constantly harassed and extorted. They survived but the threat to their business was palpable.

      I’m sure there’s a price to get yourself removed from that wall.
