The leaders of an organization keep making announcements like "we are building the torment nexus", "we are a torment nexus company"
How much do you really weight a follow up PR statement on a smaller dev channel along the lines of: "we promise to give you a kill switch for the torment nexus that will probably be opt-in for some definition of opt-in....we can reasonably agree that opt-in is a vague term right?"
But keep following them down that road I guess...
Opt-in means that the person needs to perform an explicit action in order to do something. Ideally it means that they do that action of their own accord, without being harassed. They do that because the software/features/whatever is exciting and/or solves a real problem they have.
Something so good you don't have to trick them into turning it on.
You know, like that time 20+ years ago when people actively sought out and downloaded Firefox because it was simply the better option.
