this was the worst spam of all my wordpress experience. a yoast banner on every admin page - yoast must have gone crazy. I took screenshots of this shameful moment.
wordpress plugin as well as mobile app stores are reminiscent of the ugly pc shareware and freewares of past 30 decades.
- cally 7y agoI don't use wordpress/yoast so am probably wrong. But I don't think splashscreens on shareware is 'ugly', I think it's fair enough. In some instances - such as Sublime Text - I am amazed at how discreet it is.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 7y agoI suspect Sublime realizes that they have three classes of customers: 1. Companies 2. Private individuals who are happy to pay for software 3. Private individuals who aren't going to pay for software The discreet notification is enough to get 1+2 to pay. Group 3 isn't going to pay anyways, and making the notification more annoying will just make it more likely that they crack it and never see it again. Most importantly, when people from group 3 start working at a company, they may get the company to buy a license (which is now a subscription, i.e. makes them a lot more money than a personal license). A more annoying notification would likely win them very little, and lose them a lot (from people who use a different editor instead).
