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.

But at least the lefty capitalist artist sold some key chains

Selling your shit and getting paid doesn't make you into a capitalist. At most you're an artisan, if you own your tools and you get paid for your final product rather than your labour hours.

To be a capitalist you necessarily need to own capital. In the example you picked you'd need to own a factory where you underpay people to and keep the surplus from all the keychains they produce.

And regardless of what you meant, you're absolutely barking at the wrong tree here, market consolidation and monopolies predate the internet, and they would have always had the final say in how we shape our infrastructure and share shit online under capitalism.

You would be a supporter of capitalist. The capitalist needed to take the internet away from the left. It was hostile to making capital. Early days people were much more aware of defending it against capitalist which like you said, people were tracking how capitalist ruined all other frontiers and left them dried out husks that stifled originality, creativity and actual innovation. Look at the leftovers from the early days. Websites from them were focused on free use and sharing information freely, gnu, Winamp, VLC, sites like reddit, digg, Wikipedia wouldn't exist with today's internet if they were created today. Capitalist took over.
