Search results are become a google product. Just as restaurants have turn into yelp products. I can't say it was all their secret goal from the beginning, but it now is.
It honestly sounds like Yelp is just salty at the fact that their SEO marketing isn't as effective as it used to be because of Google's improvement to their search engine algorithms. Also, it's laughable that of all companies, Yelp is the one complaining about Google.
>>because of Google's improvement to their search engine algorithms. "Improvement": Post Google's own offering first and also fill page with ads to keep users within Google's own sites.
Mainstream media story about web company? Check. Nothing new? Check. Negative? Check. Of course Yelp participated...but Yelp angle aside, CBS is just following the news cycle patterns of their brethren. I'm mentioning this a lot these days, but feels like watching cattle being herded (albeit willingly).

Are becoming? ...How else do you think they have been making money all these years? It’s their oldest and most profitable product and it’s called AdWords. The foundation of what we know as Google.
CBS interview leaves out critical details. Initially, Google was scrapping Yelp reviews to show snippets in their Google Places product. Yelp CEO didn't liked that and demanded to remove all snippets. Google said it had right to show snippets like any other websites and if Yelp says their content is "private" then Google shouldn't be crawling them at all. That's what they did. This caused Yelp to disappear from Googl…

They now insert ads into the top of the search flow, commingling results and ads, something their founders correctly proclaimed in the early days to be fundamentally anti user experience. When faced with mobile (and no right side area to allocate ads), they chose to violate their earliest of principles and decided the money mattered a lot more than providing the best product for the consumer. It's merely one example of many that Google isn't acting in the best interest of the consumer with their search monopoly.
Yelp can be salty and simultaneously Google can be an abusive monopoly.
Sun and Oracle were two of the loudest complainers about Microsoft. It doesn't mean they were wrong, despite their own at times shitty behavior.

One company doesn't get to unilaterally decide what is 'fair'.

Who is to decide what is a crappy 2nd rate product? To me, Yelp seems to be the superior product since it has more reviews while having no financial benefit from manipulating reviews. Can the same be held true for Google?

If it was donated, how was it theft?

They were never prevented from competing, they were prevented from preventing others competing.
