"it's common knowledge that not paying will negatively affect perfectly good reviews"

No, it's a common rumor. Repeating rumors does not make them true, and this "knowledge" is completely false.

I have no financial or business interest in Yelp. I just don't enjoy seeing my own work, and the work of my colleagues, disparaged by completely unsubstantiated rumor mongering.
