They hide reviews of non advertisers saying it's the algorithm that can tell that they are not real reviews but I know for a fact they are real and it's just because those companies don't pay the piper and advertise. I would only trust Google reviews. Google does not manipulate the reviews or the businesses and do not ever charge a fee to be reviewed. Or hide reviews.

Yelp claims they don't manipulate reviews.
That said, a Federal Court has ruled the have the right to favor those who advertise on Yelp.
If they don't do it, I wonder why they bothered to defend against the court action?
