Over and over and over again I read negative articles about Yelp. These kind of places are ripe for scammers. These businesses know that you're randomly searching for a service, don't know you and don't plan on ever seeing you again. Yelp's system is, apparently, very easy to game. They've been accused of extortion. And yet, billion dollar valuation. It's laughable.

We're so out of touch that people are talking about how this space is ripe for disruption and a new startup. Umm, Yelp is an extremely young company. I guess once you're public you're seen as old hat? Pump and dump, and move on to the next thing. Unbelievable.
