Looks juicy! I hope they talk about the Better Business Bureau in the movie too.

Not the BBB so much but they do get into other courtly stuff.
It was good, but not unexpected, yet I didn't know a lot of it. It's how the world works, and now I expect it. I don't know how to rate documentaries anymore. Or media. Erin Brocovich was heavy in 2000. Now, it's just what corporations do. But I digress.

Yelp still exists? They've been in trouble since its founding. Hell even South Park made fun of them.

South Park is cited several times in the documentary.
Last time I used Yelp was in 2007 or 2008 in Oakland and/or Victoria looking for pho. I remember one reviewer saying, "The smellier the Vietnamese restaurant, and the more flies it has, the better it will taste." And I realized they were totally correct. I have no idea why.
