Yelp Effect Edit Meaning

1.

The over inflation of an establishment's true worth by unqualified, self-affirming know-nothings ("yelpers") & the immediate feelings of anger, disgust, remorse, and self loathing that inevitably occur after one heeds such advice.

Joe:

Ha! Another victim of the yelp effect, sucka.
