With Amazon, I'm able to select products that best fit me based on the wealth of reviews. Thus, keeping me from wasting time and money trying to optimize my life. I'm very satisfied with what Amazon has done.

In a world where businesses are realizing the value of good reviews, Yelp has decided to setup rules tha hurt small businesses and help larger business that bring Yelp more revenue. Reviews are a valuable tool for making informed purchasing decisions, so when a site violates this integrity, they are no longer useful as a service. It also doesn't help that this site seems attracts people who like complaining about trivial things such as "it wasn't like my hometown's version of said restaurant, so it's a bad one."
