Uncovering and explaining how our digital world is changing — and changing us.

Google and Yelp were friends, for a while. Now Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman is on the warpath.

“Google has just completely lost its mind when it comes to focusing on the user,” Stoppelman said in an interview with Kara Swisher on the latest episode of “Re/code Decode.” “They’re doing whatever it takes to preserve that monopoly, and it’s sad.”

Stoppelman accused the search giant of “stealing” Yelp’s content, among other “consumer harms.” He also discussed the challenges Yelp faces as a 10-year-old public company when private startups can compete by raising truckloads of venture capital funding.

“You are competing with unicorns and ever-rising valuations and no volatility,” he said. “Some companies were able to absorb capital and not be traded publicly, but now that period seems to be ending.”

Later in the show, on “Too Embarrassed to Ask,” The Verge’s Lauren Goode joined Kara Swisher to talk about virtual reality and whether it will spell the downfall of civilization as we know it.

“Re/code Decode” is now twice a week. Last Thursday, Re/code’s Senior Media Editor Peter Kafka spoke to Fox Sports host Katie Nolan, and this coming Thursday, he will be talking to Twitter co-founder and Medium CEO Ev Williams. Next Monday, Kara will be back in this space for an interview with Glu CEO Niccolo De Masi.
