You get to use unreleased models for free and compare them to others, you are gaining some benefit from this. Why be annoyed about it? They aren't making you do anything, you're choosing to play around with these models in a "gamified evaluation" for whatever reason. If you want to use any of the released models without participating in crowdsourced training then there are tons of options out there to run many of them locally or to pay for private hosting or pay for a chatbot as a service. I don't get what the problem is, they're footing the bill for you after all.

What a single person gains from this is extremely little unless they keep track of every vote they do, and do >100 of votes. The public ranking allows you to not have to do that.

If there was an opt-out for private model voting, I would choose that simply because I don't care to give some corporation extremely useful data for so little pay.
