We are keeping all our telemetry anonymous and don't store/track ips

good Lord, when did things get to be like this? if I shipped a free web framework with opt-out telemetry, I'd feel like a massive douche

Opt-out telemetry in companies based on open source projects has become a critical component of YC applications, VC pitches, and acquisition pitches. If it was opt-in of course nobody would turn it on. It's shady but I also somewhat understand the founders who are doing product-led growth by giving out the product on GitHub/PyPI, yet still need some usage metrics to quantify the stickiness to their backers. Pip installs and git clones/forks are only a loose indicator of real usage.

Sorry, but this is bullshit.
