G2's extortion racket gets a significant upgrade!

Create a problem and then sell a solution! That is what our review aggregating overlords at G2 have done.

With a recent update, G2 has started displaying competitors right at the top of your profile.

Mind you, this change has not been made for the benefit of users. Shortly after implementing these adjustments, G2 began reaching out to vendors, urging them to upgrade their accounts to get this removed. You will need to pay to have the product information section actually show product information as it's supposed to. Hah!

Clearly, G2 has exploited its near-monopoly position in the market to extort money from small vendors who have already invested resources in acquiring reviews on their platform and cannot justify spending an additional $10K+ for this subscription.

More importantly, what prevents them from making even more outrageous demands and asking for more money in the future? Vendors would be trapped because they have already invested too much effort in acquiring reviews on the platform. 🤔
