Yelp to stop auto-creating fundraisers after outrage from business owners

it always surprised me that “good guy” Tim Apple is down with having a bag of hot garbage like yelp on their maps. Then again when the end game is for companies, not people, to benefit, this is the stupid shit we get to deal with.

Is there an alternative that provides a similar service?

I’m not sure why apple wont capitalize on their huge user base and allow map users to write their own reviews. It would be much better than being in bed with Yelp.

Because they would need to put together a moderator team, and then 2 years from now find some way to monetize it to justify the products existence to the bean counters. The suck at moderating reviews for products they already have reviews for (apps, podcasts, etc) why would they want to add another failure to that list?
