The rage is justifiable in this case, though. /u/lift_ticket83 should have provided 2 examples of how to turn *ON* the new feature since it never should have been implemented as opt-out in the first place.

And it's still justifiable seeing as how the mobile video that's been shared above is nothing more than how to make you show offline... that's not the same thing, this data doesn't need to exist at all for any reason. Especially on mobile where any message or comment you receive pops up as a notification in near real time anyway. No one needs to know you're online, they just need to send you a message and wait for your response.

It's not even a turn off feature, it's just how to change what's displayed.
