Blastertoyo 22,734 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I wonder if it will also be triggered by reviews? that would be very helpful actually but can be misused please enlighten me to death Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALGAYDO 35,046 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 This is actually really cool. I’m just worried it may be misused by some. Like how a bunch Karen’s and Kevin’s have been spamming negative reviews on companies that require wearing a mask. I hope they can regulate this feature properly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RahrahWitch 6,985 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 As long as It's moderated properly so it can't be abused this is great! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimisaMonster 31,073 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Thank you! I will not be supporting any business that expresses racist remarks to customers or refuses services based on such disgusting views! Yelp...you're doing amazing sweetie!

ssslyboy 3,273 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 So ... if a business is accused of racism by one person Yelp will put an alert out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its great to know so that I don’t give a cent of my money to hateful businesses, but I’m also thinking about to often the “reverse racism” and “it goes both ways” card gets pulled up by some yt peepo. I can already see the hordes of Karen’s claiming a business is racist against white people because the manager asked them to leave for not wearing a mask. And the scary thing is that could actually do serious harm to businesses owned by people of color. Hopefully, Yelp has a good plan in place to address any issues like this.
