They aren't aiding superusers, to insinuate it's even possible seems just wrong.
i think it'd be helpful to actually read what i wrote becfore trying to break it down
i pointed out their business model didn't make sense and they'd been lying about "releasing a paid version soon" for 3 years
this means they are certaintly doing something to make money to pay salaries for the team of devs and we don't know what it is - superusers was one of many examples and never a key argument nor a plausible situation just an example of the range from benign using spare cpu cycles to mine dogecoin to something far worse
in response they admitted they do indeed send back hh to their servers but said it was for bug checking which is just an absurd excuse they came up with because they were probably worried someone would read what i wrote and run a packet sniffer and then see that data is indeed getting sent to their servers so they wanted to have their bases covered if someone did that, think of it as a new version of the "we'll start charging soon"
what can i say, people want free software and are willing to close their eyes and ignore a ton of red flags and unknown levels of risk done by a group of individuals who choose to be anonymous - which is extremely unusual in itself
i feel like i've mentioned it in the relevant threads and from here on out am not going to put in any efforts to point out they are opening themselves up to the unknown when there exists safer alternatives for nominal costs
