Your PMs should not decide what your software does with my hardware without me giving my informed consent. Our PMs don't like making things opt-in. -> Your users don't like making things opt-out. Low usage metrics is a UX problem. Activating it without informed consent gives you bloated metrics anyway. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It’s just not true that users don’t like making things opt-out. HN Users tend not to like it but I think a lot of users dislike the alternatives: either because they’re undiscoverable (toggle in settings or a menu) or intrusive (various sorts of what’s new overlays). Imo, the question of when to make things opt-in vs. opt-out is fairly subtle and largely depends on the feature and pre-existing trust. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
