How many times is this going to make the front page. This is the 3rd time I've seen this in the last two days. Does HN need me to develop a DL model to stop all these useless duplicates?? :)

This headline is particularly egregious as the whole point is that it is opt-in, not opt-out, so the headline should read that 96% of users did nothing, which is a lot less newsworthy but certainly more accurate.
