Lmao, when I read the comments! Clearly people don't like that ZorinOs has a paid version and would rather donate.
Yes, the worst part of it is, he's the type of Youtuber that is big enough to earn monitization on his platform. So, basically he's earning money to promote piracy. And that is wrong in so many ways its not even funny.
The only thing that guy said that I considered funny, was when he felt he was old cause he was in high school when Windows10 came out. For me, that feels like yesterday, to him, it was like 20-years ago.
He's also earned the rank of dummy, because he's on the internet admitting to piracy. If the Zorin team should ever choose to sue his butt, they would have all the evidence they need to provide the prosecutor and judge of the guys actions.

He has a sigma grindset, I don't think he even cares.

I don't mind paying.. I would like the devs get paid for their hard work. It's when people blatantly steal all their efforts that makes me upset.
Stay frosty...

The guy clearly doesn't care, he probably pirates every software. In my opinion, there is no point, the guy does whatever he wants, and we can't stop him. I also highly doubt the Zorin Team will sue him.
Good point! Maybe reporting this to you tube (pronounced U... 2... BUH) They will take this video down. Its like the guys like hesitant to select "Don't participate in the census" LOL!!!! I'm like OMG Zorin knows your user count DOOOHH RUUUNNN!!!
Stay thirsty,

In my opinion, I also agree it should be an opt-in, at least ZorinTeam is honest about it. A lot of people in the FOSS community don't like even a bit of telemetry in a piece of software.
LOL - The only reason why the guy had felt the need to make a whole point of it, is cause he knows he's doing something illegal. Jokes on him, we all know about it, so it won't do him no good.

Good point. Yes its hard to find honest people any more now days. If people only knew the kind of telemetry that other OS that shall not be named has sent out. People would have a coronary.. I've seen data mining and social mining and regular gold mining and crypto mining but that other OS that shall not be named.. well... you would simply be amazed..

It is still better if it was an opt out, or maybe just not even have a census.

The census really is necessary in order for ZorinGroup to know how many people are actively using Zorin OS.
The Census does not collect any personal or identifying data - at all. In any way. It only pings that Zorin OS is being used. Nothing more.
You can opt out of the census - and I have not done so. It is harmless and helps ZorinGroup.

Why, all the other distros don't even have anything like this?
Who says they don't? Zorin did not invent it.

Most Linux Distros don't, a lot of people clearly don't like any kind of telemetry, and this setting has swayed a lot of users of ZorinOs. I don't think it's important to know how many is using your OS.
Well, i do the same in windows and linux 
. Somehow it feels wrong to put the trash anywhere else haha

To an end-user, it is not important. To a developer, it is important.
