Molly Whitesuper cool that all these companies have decided to make customers opt OUT of having their data sold for AI training purposes
"but no one would do it if it was opt-in!"
yeah, THAT IS THE PROBLEM
wraptile@molly0xfff no one does anything if it's opt in FYI. It's a broken model.
Jes Moved to @@wraptile @molly0xfff apple has a permission to track users. turns out that most people clicked deny even when the app itself nagged the user.
@Jessica @molly0xfff yeah even when user-to-dev relationship is good like in open source software big majority of users still don't opt in unfortunately.
It's a super difficult problem when ppl make it appear easy. I think for corporate software they can offer rewards (e.g. newsletter gets coupons etc) but for free software? You have to really beg and still get single percent digits of users agree :(
If I'm making free software and I need that feature you're opting out or pay me lol
