That's brilliant. Seriously we should all do that, they would never get removed, only 4-5 star yelp ratings do.

On another note, I have been waiting for somebody to point their finger at the yelp mis-justice - thanks South Park!

✨ AI Highlights

Dealers discuss frustrations with Yelp's review filtering algorithm, which they claim suppresses positive reviews while displaying negative ones. The thread humorously proposes posting positive review content in a low-star review as a workaround, with one dealer confirming they actually attempted this tactic after experiencing Yelp filtering 39 five-star reviews while keeping a single one-star review visible. The underlying consensus is that Yelp's moderation practices are unfair and manipulative toward businesses.
