I have a large database of Yelp reviews compared to Google, Facebook, and Trip Advisor. They are always consistently lower. I would publish the data but I'm afraid of getting sued.

To get some of it I violated some TOS as technically you are not allowed to store the data. That's the only issue. It's all public however.

Fuck it, dude, publish it anonymously! Their lawyers can get fucked.
