Even more fun: if you say the title of this post in Germany, that's illegal. Because all comparisons with Nazis are.

#22All visible reactions should be positive. They also removed dislike buttons from YouTube a while ago.

The dislike button is still there. What was changed was the dislike button no longer shows an aggregate count of dislikes. Youtube did remove the dislike button from youtube shorts like 2 months ago, probably to mirror the experience on TikTok. I think a like button is a more powerful signal for a short form content algo anyways - swiping away from a video before it's finished is equivalent to a dislike for that purpose.

So you think it's okay for someone to fall sick eating bad food that the person could've learned about and avoided via reviews? Will you pay their hospital bill? A child or old person could even die from it. It is not nothing.
If the review was “this restaurant is ok” I don’t think they got sick from eating bad food so your example is irrelevant. Also typically getting sick from restaurant food is a complaint for the health department, not yelp

#26An the Gestapo is a US company named Google in this case.
More like the EU and Germany’s version of the Digital Services Act. Google is just adhering to German law.

You've no idea what a review is going to be about. It is not this one review that concerns people - the concern is the broad policy and the pattern.
Also, have you actually seen health departments around the world? Have you actually tried complaining to them? They often are corrupt and do nothing! Even where they're not corrupt, they still don't take sufficient punitive action. And do you think someone actually needs to fall sick in the first place if it can be avoided via reviews? What you're smoking, you only know.

#28Someone please vibe code a site where you pay to leave bad reviews. The more is paid the worse it is.

It's called "hyperbole".

Nope, it's the lawyer firms that come after you. Google removes reviews on request for its own comfort, but if you provide proof, they put it back. Then the lawyers come.
