      Bought a creality 3d printer. Every time I go to their site to read about a a feature or how to do something I get constantly bombarded with page pop over ads for their products while I’m trying to learn the features of my new printer. I guess if I got one of their cloud accounts then it might not happen but its annoying enough I never will. I don’t reward shit like that.

        You already have. Shit like that drives conversion in the short term but it sacrifices usability and brand value. Managers love this shit because they can tell the board they made sales go up x% and then they’re off to ruin another business.
