Title. I don’t need to be advertised to inside an IDE. I would appreciate if these could be used more sparingly or for features that are actually relevant to the IDE product, they’ve been near-daily recently and are often orthogonal.
Unwanted ads in app - #3 by deanrie seems related.
The answer was that this was ok behavior, because these are just feature announcements.
To which I would response that feature announcements can be fairly annoying. VS-Code also does feature announcements for those who care (using a new tab that appears with information), but they provide the option to opt out. I just want to use the tool, I don’t need the tool constantly reminding me how great and wonderful it is.
My IDE screen just blurred itself out during an active coding session, and a huge banner ad advertising “The X Subscription” appeared over the top of my work.
This goes far beyond capsule ads advertising new models or features (which I didn’t like anyway), and veers into offensive territory. Cursor team, this is tacky, annoying, and as someone who’s paying you hundreds of dollars a month – often more – offensive. Please stop this immediately.
Moreover, I am not going to claim an “offer” that removes the capabilities I have with Ultra today.
