He starts with the info about the shitty fundraiser scheme. But then drifts into a talking about them not removing fake negative reviews of his business. Though the second part is a valid complaint, just seems you shouldn't use this coverage to talk about your personal issues with them.For the record, Yelp has been a scummy dumpster fire for years, they try this shake down shit with so many small businesses here.
⬐ ZenstWhilst you may view them as personal issues - they are experience and not unique to him.Yes, does seem many are aware of Yelp being scummy (nice way of putting it), but only those who are more technically aware to see thru their scummy bully tactics, tactics that hurt and can destroy a business. Many who are not technically minded and they equally suffer at their hands without knowing why as many users out there are not technically aware and with that will blindly trust those reviews and Yelp and those users are the majority.
Now they are abusing a pandemic to be even more scummy, they need to be held to account and shown to those common users what they are about and stopped.
I just want to see fairness and with that, really want to see the word put out so those lessers users start to see the truth as we all know, they have been allowed thru whatever reason to carry on doing this and are not improving, indeed - getting worse.
