Doesn't take much searching to find tradesmen unhappy with this site going back to at least 2012. I'm mainly DIY and only occasionally get tradespeople in for the things I cannot or am not allowed to do. Rated people, checkatrade etc is the last place I would look, as I believe they let anyone join without any vetting as long as they pay the money, and also apparently it is impossible for punters to change a review, so a job that shows problems after a little while goes unreviewed.
