So this dead horse flinched again
"With #HolosDiscover we checked multiple criteria before indexing: "indexable" enabled, account not locked, no #nobot or #noindex in bio, not in opted-out list, only public posts."
I'll copy-pasta with only slight edits:
My entire point (all the noise notwithstanding) focused on
Default opt-in versus default opt-out
This is an agent --> recipient transaction
Default opt-in: the recipient is opted into (and receives) the agent's action whether the recipient --> knows of <-- the action or not
Default opt-out: the recipient is opted out of (and cannot receive) the action whether the recipient --> knows of <-- the action or not
Neither default opt-in nor default opt-out have any logical meaning if
--> THE RECIPIENT DOES NOT KNOW OF THE AGENT <--
in advance
There was no mechanism for prior notification *before* indexing
People would have had to stumble on what you're doing, by how, exactly?
How dose the recipient learn of what you've done *before* you do it?
