Except not everyone wants to play the game.

The BBB pioneered this business model. Yelp perfected it. This is just another flavor for another market.

There 100% needs to be regulation around any kind of review site. If you can pay and change how the reviews look it is 100% corrupt and shouldn’t be allowed.

Also if you can leave a review for something that you have not consumed it is 100% corrupt and shouldn't be allowed. The fraudulent usage goes both ways and in the end the sites are only for the ignorant.
