Would be a terrible shame if lots of people opted out.

If you are a EU citizen you might also want to write a complaint to privacy@huggingface.co because they are collecting your personally identifiable information in machine-readable form which they are distributing to third parties.

Am I alone in not wanting to put my username into that field? If they don't have it will they then just decide that it's now a good time to scrape it? Or are they going to record that it was searched?

The right move is to private all repositories you are uncertain of that you want them to be preserved forever in an AI training set.
