I have worked on products and have made changes based on data I got on how users were using them.
Telemetry doesn't replace user feedback or interviews, but it really does help.
- Feniks 9y agoSome of us are assholes though and don't really care about helping you out with making money. No offense intended.
- dreae 9y agoThat's just stupid. Obviously the product has some value for you or you wouldn't be using it, and telemetry is a practically zero effort way for you to help improve it. Note, when we're talking about telemetry we're not talking about tracking your time on a site to show you ads, we're talking about tacking bugs you encounter so they can be fixed.
- geezerjay 9y agoI don't believe your personal convenience trumps everyone's right to privacy.
- SquareWheel 9y agoA crash log doesn't violate your privacy, nor does usage statistics when properly anonymized. Sometimes telemetry is just telemetry.
- geezerjay 9y ago> A crash log doesn't violate your privacy Says who? If that's the case then ask the user to email you the log. Instead, we get covert eavesdropping.
