Yelp still exists? They've been in trouble since its founding. Hell even South Park made fun of them.

South Park is cited several times in the documentary.

Last time I used Yelp was in 2007 or 2008 in Oakland and/or Victoria looking for pho. I remember one reviewer saying, "The smellier the Vietnamese restaurant, and the more flies it has, the better it will taste." And I realized they were totally correct. I have no idea why.
