Literally every local small business I know reports some type of shenanigans with Yelp. Some of it is surely false-correlation by emotional shop owners.
But there is, at best, a critical mass of unethical salespeople, because I've heard far too many reports of pressured selling.
Either way, they've got a really big problem. Big picture, it's hard to imagine how a site like this can remain neutral or useful long-term. It's just a playground for mischief on all sides, and eventually consumers will catch on.
