At the time I received the popup, I refreshed the page, and it was gone. I’m not sure if clicking outside the popup would have worked. If there’s no x to close, then that’s what’s called a “dark pattern.”
@LinkOpensChest_wav That’s a fair point. We’ve made sure to pass along your comments to the marketing team for future consideration.
We do try to strike a balance in our promotional materials between being informative about new offers/products/releases and giving an option to easily opt out for users who may not be interested, and honest feedback like yours helps in this regard.
Thank you for taking the time to understand what I’m saying. That’s all I wanted. It’s frustrating to keep being directed to change email preferences when that had nothing to do with my comments. I appreciate your time.
