Because people rarely click Yes, even if it's rare.
Plus it means little to the end user, and outside of HN, Slashdot, or other tech forums, most folks don't even know what telemetry means in an OS context. They click No, and move on.
- labawi 7y agoAre you saying all of those users whose browsers are crashing on a large scale are going to say no? Also, are you implying software should send telemetry to the mothership regardless of users' will? There used to be a time software was tested and released finished.
- yellowapple 7y ago> Because people rarely click Yes, even if it's rare. In my observation the precise opposite is true; your average user will immediately click "Yes" without reading in the hopes of making the error go away.
- JohnFen 7y agoSo you're arguing that because people will decline to share the data, they should be forced to share the data?
- wtetzner 7y agoSo the solution is to deprive them of their privacy for your own benefit? I don't blame them for clicking "no" if they don't know what it will be used for.
