Do you seek their ratings before dealing with a particular vendor?
Or...are they a relic of the past?

You pay memberships to be a part of it. The more you pay the better you're rating. Like others have said. Complete sham. We do it because for some reason people care what the BBB says, but it really means absolutely zero.

That is basically extortion. Some mafia "protection" type shite.

What if Yelp gave bad reviews to restaurants unless they paid them not to?

I actually hasn't thought about that, but that's a good way to put it. Good metaphor

No problem. I should apologize. I was actually coming to delete it when I saw your response. My sarcasm meter was broken on that one.

They have no actual authority.

As another stated here, they're bought and paid for.

Kinda like those "awards" that Chevrolet got.
