FWIW, my profile is still set to non-visible, so it's not a universal change.

Good to know. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I can believe that at some point they fixed it so that setting your profile to invisible took effect permanently, but they never went back and retroactively applied that change to people who had previously opted out (or never opted in). Or if they did, they must have somehow skipped my account.

I responded to them with a link to this thread in case they wanted to publicly comment or correct anything, but I'm not holding my breath.

We intended to make that change retroactive. I'm looking into it with our engineering team as we speak.

EDIT: I can confirm that that fix was in fact retroactive. We'll have a response to OP momentarily. (EDIT2: Ammon, our CEO, has a top-level reply to OP.)
