Putting photos on random Yelp pages

I created a throwaway account because I wanted to ask this question; does it seem dishonest when people add tons of photos to random Yelp pages? I was scrolling through my friends activity feed when I came across someone that posts tons of photos onto these pages and it feels dishonest to me when you’re not actually visiting a business but they’d post the same 10+ pictures to all of these types of pages. I think it makes it impossible to ever have a chance at a Yelpie Award when there are people padding their photo numbers. Maybe I’m just late to the Yelp game and this is normal.

Elite All Star

Elite All Star

I got my first Elite All Star, my CM told me it was for last month contribution. I hope there are some fun Elite event this month! I'm happy to be an Elite and contribute to the platform. Congratulation to every other Elite who got one too!

I'm ready for the business owners and suspicious accounts to come complain in my post with distorted facts or trying to bring us down which won't affect us. It's obvious they'd rather spend more time complaining here than working to grow their own businesses and thinking by complaining Yelp would change to satisfy them when it hasn't affected their business. Yelp is making money and moving forward.

Privacy, anyone?

Privacy, anyone?

I don’t have the Yelp app installed and I recommend that nobody else install it either. For the avid Yelp users, I have to ask: do you not know about Yelp’s abysmal privacy record, or just don’t care? I cannot conceive of using an app that quietly collects and sells my data even when I explicitly told it not to. It shows complete lack of respect. How do you reconcile it?

Also look at how aggressively they try to funnel you from mobile web to their app. They’re so hungry for your data, they’ll sacrifice good UX and alienate some users to get it from others. Why tolerate this?

My “community manager” just messaged me saying I need to balance my reviews more . . . HUH

My “community manager” just messaged me saying I need to balance my reviews more . . . HUH

6 year Elite, I have over 2300 reviews in a major city.
52% of my reviews are 4 and 5 star. 47% are 3 and below.

She said I should try not to give too many high or low star ratings.
How exactly and why do I need to be more "balanced"? Like what does she or Yelp even care if my reviews lean one way or another? Quite frankly, my review base seems pretty well balanced.
