surfaced semanticallyHomeAdvisor unverified leads and locked exit with steep cancellation penalties
HomeAdvisor provides leads that do not intend to hire, often have no real project, or are seeking free estimates only, and when contractors attempt to leave the platform they face cancellation fees up to $1,200. The service monetizes the lock-in rather than lead quality.

Contractors on Angi/HomeAdvisor receive leads where the majority are unresponsive or irrelevant to their services, yet cancellation requires paying large fees regardless of lead quality. The platform systematically profits from contractor frustration without accountability.
