Good for consumers, not so much for businesses
Never did I ever think I’d be reviewing a review platform lol. I have been yelp elite for over a decade, been writing reviews since I was in university and still am posting my thoughts and photos online to share my experience at different establishments (restaurants, hotels, spas, parking lots, and more). As a consumer and user, great experience though it has gone downhill over time. People are going to google reviews now. They never really had many events for Elites. What I didn’t like was what I heard from my friends who were business owners, who were contacted by Yelp to be sold services and when they refused, they mysteriously got spammed with low rating reviews. So suspicious.
