I never understood people getting annoyed by this.
Yes, MS can get pushy advertising their products. What would you expect? I had Windows 11 for a few years I have zero problems. I work and play games on my ROG and it’s fast. That’s what I need.
When things like this appear I have muscular memory like when I see ads on websites: close or ignore.
That doesn’t matter. People look for revenge on numbers and will like to see Reddit burn and fail.
But that is not what is important. You don’t need to justify your decision by looking at how much Reddit loses, but if you are happy here in Lemmy.
The same goes if you left Twitter and switched to Mastodon. It’s like feeling better if your ex is doing worse after you get apart. Empty satisfaction imo
