I thought Angies list was different.That they would not be bribed by companies with large budgets to get in front of customers.
It's worse than that because they do charge companies and they charge the homeowners too. They are working both sides of the fence. I have about ten top ratings on Angies List and they should put me in front of customers because I am one of the highest rated. They wont unless I pay.
That is disingenuous to say the least.
My opinion is it is a scam.I pay yelp but they do not claim companies cannot pay them for more coverage, at least they are upfront. 2fafbdb

')I just looked at angies list and what you say is true. Businesses can't pay to be on the list but they can pay to be the one that is shared as top 4. That violates the premise that the ratings are provided by the customer when they are in fact floated by advertising budget.
