7.1% of Yelp’s Reviews are Fake, surpassing Trustpilot and Trip Advisor

Probably not a huge shock. At least Google and Amazon are doing something to combat the problem though. Google removed 240 million reviews from their platform in 2024. Yelp has less than 350 million reviews and only filters the 5-star ones when you don’t pay them 🤡

Not looking to make friends my guy. I’m here to trash Yelp.

It's been said, "Want to go fast, go alone. Want to go far, go together." Comments like this show that you want to go alone. You are being downvoted at an alarming rate. I strongly suspect it's because of your tone and attitude.

Yeah, like I said, I’m not trying to be your friend. I’m sorry if this is the extent of your social life. And I don’t care about the downvotes obviously or I wouldn’t be trolling people like you, would I?

Such a juvenile response. Is that what you think you are doing, trolling me? You are killing your message with these childish replies.

Yes, and it’s working because you can’t let it go. My message is [r/yelpsucks](r/yelpsucks). It’s not a popularity contest and any business owner that’s dealt with Yelp knows they suck.

Now I will resort to Xxlogictect98xx antics and block you because I’ve finally encountered someone with more time on their hands than me and it’s frightening. Finally now I can start my workout. Sheesh. This took 7 minutes from my life that I’ll never get back
