> ...people being upset about reddit using their posts for AI training,...
I'm one of these people, and I'm not visiting or contributing to Reddit anymore. My logic is simple: "Ask me first". I may say yes, I may say no, but ask me first.
I'm bullish about ethics and transparency. I work on FAIR Data at work, as a side quest. Transparency, consent and licenses are a big part of it. Honoring it is important at every level. Both ethically, and both for integrity reasons.
As a result, when someone does something behind me, and if they didn't ask me first, I leave when I find out. I was this close to abandoning Go when they first declared that the telemetry will be opt-out. Now it's opt-in, and so I still use Go.
It's not that I don't send usage data, either. Some applications and parties I trust get telemetry from me, but all of them were opt-in and asked me first.
In short, a bit of decency and agency goes a long way in my eyes.
