Business Owners come together and demand Yelp to end their sketchy business practices. We want the Filtered Reviews to stop being hidden. We want the biased algorithm you call your yelp review filter to be terminated and not used against us. We want consumers to be educated about how Yelp uses their popularity to bully businesses to spend advertising money to display hidden reviews that normally would be filtered otherwise. We want to end the bullying of Yelp forcing businesses to advertises and not to stop without fear of having their Yelp Listing changed to make the business look badly by only displaying bad reviews and hiding good ones. We will not be extorted We are tired of your dishonesty and explanation of your filtering of reviews. We will not be bullied We will expose your website as it is a complaint board to push business owners to pay you to profit to adjust ratings based on whim and power

I was recently given a $300 credit for ads by Yelp. Yet was not aware my ads were live nor do I recall signing up for a $5 a day budget. With their billing in the arrears I just found out my account had been activated and now they wanted Nov 2022 money. This scam or an ad company needs to be held accountable and our businesses be refunded.

Company is 6 negative reviews showing. 30 reviews filtered of which a good 23 are positive. This is unfair and something has to been done. It's too easy for anyone to write a false review and their filtering system does not work. I feel as if Yelp has a bigger agenda than what we see.
