I disagree, the site is by developers for developers. Every developer on planet earth is well aware of privacy issues and the evil dark pattern of negative options. They knew this ahead of time, they took a gamble and shit hit the fan. The apology is not heartfelt or sincere, its just damage control.

If they want to correct this mistake, turf the product manager or make a $25K donation to the EFF as an act of penance.

If they make a $25k donation to the EFF, people will just ask “why not $50k?” or “why not pay me?” They can’t win against people who have their mind made up.

You also can't win against companies/founders who have their mind made up about acceptable monetisation strategies and PII handling.
