Sam Altman will clean your house for $5
We're trying something new and innovative, and of course we'll have to iterate on it.  We're moving as quickly as we can to fix this and make it work for consumers and businesses--obviously, it doesn't work for us unless it works for both of those groups.  We have a chance to really improve local commerce, and I hope we do.<p>As soon as a business wants to opt out, we block them permanently in the system and remove any pending deals.  We're changing the product right now to make the language more clear, and we're not going to use any trademarked images until the business approves the deal.  We're going to make it really clear that a business hasn't approved a deal until they do.<p>We've certainly gotten negative feedback from a few businesses, but in general people seem excited about this--word of mouth is a great referral, and businesses understand that.  The promise of u-Deals, if it works, is that your best customers become your big advocates.<p>Should we have gotten this right from the beginning?  Yes, and I'm sorry we didn't.  We've gotten things wrong in the past, and we're going to get things wrong again.  As always, we'll try not to get the big things wrong, we'll do everything we can to make it up to our users, and we'll get it fixed as fast as possible.  That's the nature of trying new things, and it's how the world gets better.
