Who still supports Saga?

After last year's mess, it shocks me to see Saga still in business. I thought they burned enough bridges with all their customers to prevent them from ever having a thriving business again.



Will you support Saga again? Why or why not?

IanAvery-Leafbut they do....I encourage you to look into Yelp beyond that one podcast you listened to


Done plenty of research, from your replies so far (FuCk YeLp BrOs!!!!!) i'm guessing you have not. Once I learned about Jeremy and his business acumen, I dug deep, mostly on him as a person, but that led to a lot on Yelp. A line that sums it up best "“I think we’re waking up to realize a lot of big companies, presumably under pressure to grow and satisfy Wall Street, are focusing more on growth and making money than sticking to some core set of values that are aspirational.”

Yelp sticks to their values. If you still hate them, that's totally fine, but to say they are a shit company with no backup? Classic Newschoolers.

It'd be great if you could provide some sources because I can't really seem to find anything substantiating your claim that they're shady. Not saying they are not, just saying it'd be great to get some sources.

He has no words... AKA no sources. Listened to a podcast and he knows all he needs to know!

yikes dude I mentioned a podcast because you brought one up, and if you know about How I Built This then you know Guy Raz never dives fully into controversies and dances around to keep things light and flowing. What I've been talking about has nothing to do with podcasts. Thought it was obvious and didn't need clarifying, but there it is...

As far as sources, ~2 min on google provided quite the nice list to start out with. It's a rabbit hole that you could spend countless hours diving into, but this is a solid start. In addition to internet sources, do you personally know anyone who owns a small business? Next time you see them ask them about Yelp, I guarantee their response won't be peaches and cream

if you seriously still don't find this situation unethical then I truly don't have anything more to say...I assume you're too busy slurping down Nestlé water bottles you bought at the local Walmart that you rode an Uber to

Thank you for providing sources, must have been using the wrong keywords because I could not find anything.

Saga is high-key weighing Steve Stepp down, He should do his own thing (and put me on) or just join a more fire team

No idea what model they were, but I have 2 saga hoodies I have ridden in for years and they are by far the most durable and water resistant hoodies I have ever owned. Super tough wrist cuffs and they aren't a cotton sponge like most hoodies. Seem to remember the pricing was reasonable when I bought too. Cant speak for their pants or jackets but hoodies I will praise all day. To prove the point I sit wearing what I think might be one of their first hoodies ever made and it is still in great condition. (the grey hoodie with white cursive saga on it, someone sold one on grailed a while back and it memed around a bit).
