"Uhhmmm technically, it doesn't suck, just whatever goes past the event horizon falls into it."

It just exists. It's not its fault it distorts spacetime around it until it becomes one of those coin donation funnels at the mall.

There would likely be some extreme vortexes especially in the accretion disk. The pressure differences would absolutely create a suction effect.

It's all probably as negligible as legs on a cow to astrophysicists but I would reckon on its own (without the umpteen solar masses of gravity distorting your results), at human scale I would estimate that it "fucking sucks".

Pure speculation on my part.
