I woke up today to one of the craziest attempts to sugar coat AI training. Posthog wants to train on developer data which means MILLIONS of end-users' session replays, interaction data, metadata, etc. What's worse is they were trying to sugar coat it with their "funny" emails (even the subject line was hella sugar coated)

If you want you can self-host open replay. Open replay is really really advanced and is prob the most advanced session replay too for all platforms there is.

If you want something hosted, look into either one of these:

Sentry: David Cramer promised on X today to not pull off something like this with their session replays. Rybbit/Ummami/Plausible: Missing mobile SDKs, but otherwise the nicest dashboards there are and very private. Super clean, but a bit expensive. Rejourney: A bit newer than the rest, but is the most similar to PostHog in terms of being very cheap. Web SDK is still in beta.

I don't know if I'm missing anything else but someone do fill me in if there are any good tools. Some of the terms/privacy policy of the other tools like LogRocket are not as clear so I'm not too sure.
