>a Yelp spokesperson says “we have paused the automatic rollout of this feature,” as “it has come to our attention that some businesses did not receive a notification with opt-out instructions.” if you've ever needed proof that this is a mirror dimension and not the prime reality, this is it. one could imagine such a well intentioned conversation at yelp HQ, trying to connect damaged businesses (yelp clients) and their customers (also yelp clients) to gain easy PR during a disaster. the execution took a wrong turn and ended light years from reasonable. opt-out automatic enrollment of business funding? are you insane? there must be some dimension of go fund mes i do not understand because this seems likely to end in the atomization of one or both of yelp and GFM via lawsuit, not counting summary execution in the court of public opinion.
