Comment on Glio (YC S13) Aims To Be The “Yelp of Brazil” And Beyond in Latin Americaparent

Comments

There have been many stories about Yelp like [this one](http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/yelp-and-the-business-...) alleging extortionary tactics.

This article is 4 years old. Does yelp still employ these tactics? From what I gather it seems like a small sect of Yelps employees engaged in the practice.

You're right, of course. I'm not claiming that Yelp does extort, only that these allegations are the source of their imperfect reputation.
