Post by: aflyingmonkey on October 20, 2015, 11:04:16 am: I don't get what is so great about Angie's List, why would I pay a subscription if I may need a recommendation for say a plumber once in a blue moon. Doesn't seem worth it.

Plus, people leave false reviews all the time online, so trusting services based on reviews, like on yelp, is sort of just plain dumb. Competitors leave bad reviews for their competition frequently; people tend to leave negative over positive by nature because they want to vent; people can leave positive for themselves, family or friends without even using the service. There are no regulations.
