Billion Dollar Bully – Film About Yelp and Its Alleged Business Practices @yelp

Billion Dollar Bully – Film About Yelp and Its Alleged Business Practices

Billion Dollar Bully is an upcoming documentary film about Yelp and its alleged business practices. The film is directed by Kaylie Milliken and produced by Prost Productions.

Yelp with a market cap of 1.5 billion and the stock is trading at all time lows in the $20 range. Having reached as high as $100. Could it go lower?

– COO Geoffrey L. Donaker sold 6,000 shares of Yelp stock in a transaction on Wednesday, January 13th
– B. Riley analyst Sameet Sinha recommends selling Yelp
– Yelp stock had its “sell” rating reiterated by Roth Capital

Here’s just some comments posted about Yelp:
============

Google should ban yelp from search results.
=============
Yes, yelp bullies small businesses. They removed 90% of my positive comments form my legitimate customers. Yelp is the only organization who doesn’t have any customer care telephone number and there isn’t any way to contact them. Their sale executives are arrogant pig heads. They call you only to get money, till you pay them they continue to remove your good comments. Once you open an account with them they don’t allow you to close it even if you are not happy with what is happening. So you have to live with the torture… It is extortion.
