Yelp has a wall of shame for businesses caught paying for fake reviews::Yelp has a new tool to help people track businesses that have tried to manipulate their standing on the review platform…
Yelp has made this wall of shame incredibly hard to browse. It’s not sorted in any clear way, and there’s no way to sort or filter it. You have to keep clicking “load more” to get 15 at a time. They really do not want to help you find which businesses to avoid in your area.
Because it’s not about normal people browsing it, it’s about them saying "we put you on our wall of shame “pay us instead of those fake reviewers!” And then removing the business from their tidy, alphabatized, excel spreadsheet that the esoteric algorithm the “wall of shame” randomly pulls from.
It’s about blackmail :D
