I don't understand the reaction either. It's hard to talk about this stuff here because of the anti-analytics groupthink. Everyone seems to jump to the worst possible conclusion whenever it's brought up.
I can't help but wonder if the people screeching about it have ever actually put analytics in their own products. Understanding how your software is used in the real world by real users is absolutely invaluable!
- Kim_Bruning 5y agoThe reason people jump to the worst possible conclusion is the same reason that people often do: because abuse is rampant. And sometimes that's why we can't have nice things, because too many people have misbehaved while using them. Assuming integrity, I think the people complaining about it would indeed do unto others as they would have others do unto themselves. That is to say: not include telemetry.
