When searching Google for information about a place it seems Yelp is always staring me in the face and the star ratings displayed creates an instant subliminal bias.

I think Yelp can be a great resource for information but I don't like how they display the star rating on the search results page.

There are a lot of restaurants I enjoy that have a 3 or 3.5 on Yelp which is generally considered "bad". I no longer trust Yelp because a lot of the reviews seem to be written by self entitled, smug, pseudo intellectuals.

Why does Google suck yelp's dick so hard? Is it really necessary to show a bunch of amateur reviews for every damn business under the sun?
