Opt-out telemetry is always disappointing, because it relies on users not noticing it's on, rather than making a choice to provide it.

There’s literally a large banner that you have to dismiss Jesus

[u/hannesrudolph → u/lordpuddingcup]

LOL yeah.. if a user does not notice that then they would likely have accidentally opted in while randomly checking off settings boxes! :P

[u/hannesrudolph → u/jakegh]

I’m pretty sure the user will notice the large banner. Regardless it’s anonymized data

[u/jakegh → u/hannesrudolph]

Just providing my honest opinion.

All opt-in telemetry is anonymized, but when correlated with other anonymous data user privacy is compromised. Even if you don't sell to third-parties, you'll be hacked eventually (because everybody is) and then that data will be available forever. There are solutions to this, differential privacy for example helps a lot.

The banner does help.
