Yelp reviewers do not actually aim to help strangers; they write reviews to shame, punish, or call out businesses because they know companies monitor the platform.

“Nobody yelps to help other people that's a fact there is not one person who's ever written a yelp review because they are concerned that somebody else is going to have a bad time at that establishment that is the common defense of people who write yelp reviews you're like well if i don't tell people”
