I called David today, after going through a rough patch yesterday when my small business was…read moretemporarily banned from Mailchimp. I realized it was time for some outside assistance. I can't rely 100% on my own limited experience. David Mitroff (the man in the picture) was extremely generous with his time over the phone. I told him abt a potentially risky sales contract I was considering. He took at least 20 minutes to go over with me how I can mitigate that risk and what I should do to prepare for negotiation. He did not have to do that. But he wanted to make sure I didn't get scr3w3d over. He didn't want to see me fail. For that reason, Piedmont Avenue will be the first place I come to once I'm ready for a deeper strategic conversation and more hands-on assistance. Will update once I have more to say. Thanks David!

I use Yelp almost every month and it's introduced me to a lot of good businesses. Unfortunately…read moreit's really hard to contact them for general items that would improve my experience as a user, so I'm writing this review. Payment options should be added to filter merchants that have surcharges for using credit cards. I really dislike that practice and would like to filter out any businesses that do that before going there, especially as it becomes more common.

I have seen so many changes over the years. None for the better. I have been on Yelp off and on…read moresince about 2006, this is my most recent account. I have Yelped in a lot of different markets. Some better than others. Some CMs way better than others. I have been elite on this account and others and lost my elite status on a couple of accounts I have since closed. My ultimate takeaway, the community elements are gone. It's fine tuned to promote newbies to elite and dictate what those people should be saying, photographing, businesses to reward and punish. I have never seen one person lose their elite status and get it back. Zero. It doesn't happen. I used to chat a little bit here and there with Jeremy S. I asked him about what he thought about the South Park Yelp episode when that came out. There were all of these wild rumors about what he said or did in response to it. He liked it and said you know you made it when South Park roasts you. It was a fun and wild time, when you could actually have a random chat on this platform with the Yelp CEO. I still review lots of stuff and photograph tons of things. I just do it on Google now to express my opinions and track the journey of life. Why? For me, Yelp's magic existed within the community. Without that, reviewing is just a tiring chore. A lot of awesome people have given up on Yelp over the years and I really understand that. It's impersonal now and staged. It feels forced and cheesy. These days, Yelp is about selling yourself and your worth to Yelp and to your CM and kissing ass. So, it's not really that great anymore IMO. I miss UYE, etc. All people were included. It didn't matter who you were or what value your CM thought you had. You could just show up and shoot the shit with other active Yelpers. It was literally that simple. Forrest Gump was wrong, life isn't like a box of chocolates. Life is one big popularity contest. Some people are popular, and then there's the rest of us. Yelp with no community feels really draining and that's my two cents. Or maybe rounded up to five since we are eliminating pennies.
