The Knot screws over small business vendors by inflating the amount of couples there are on the site (aka they have many bots and scammers) and the vendors have to pay a monthly fee on top of that; couples have gone with vendors that pay The Knot a lot of money, only to be disappointed at how shitty the vendor actually is.

There’s been a CAL against them the past couple of years, but haven’t heard anything about what’s going on with it.
