Comment on Yelp Reviews Brew Fight Over Free Speech, Fairness

Comments

Something I'm kind of wondering, how could one verify the claim "Yelp somehow makes negative reviews come in after a business declined ads".

I hear it so much in this that I feel like it's something worth investigating (without wanting to actually claim that I think that's what is happening).

The experiment could involve adding a few nonexistent businesses to Yelp, half of which refuse to buy yelp ads, and half of which do buy them.
