I think it’s not cool when orgs track telemetry with opt out. But it’s not cool like when you’re at a party and you go off and fart in the corner as no one’s there and then a few seconds later someone walks by and smells it.

Continuing the analogy, telemetry with no opt out is like farting silently amongst a group of people. And tracking identified user requests while selling data is like slapping each person at the party while farting in their face.

And I guess opt in telemetry is like holding in your fart and people notice and might feel some discomfort at your discomfort.
