To the people in the comments asking for a rating being intrusive.........................yes it is.

Even worse is when those notices come as soon as you activate the plugin. Come on, let me use the plugin before you even ask.

There is nothing unethical about this plugin.

There should not be these admins for rating your plugins/themes. You should not be advertising your other plugins.

Look at this one: https://imgur.com/4DlJ55c

Not only is the dimiss link/button temporary (12 months), it is advertising OTHER plugins.

A dismiss is a dismiss is a dismiss, it shouldn't be just for 12 months.

You are entering my admin area and abusing it. Imagine I enter your home, make myself a coffee and talk to you about my services. I am assuming you have a coffee maker and that you have a kitchen with a table.

Plugin and Theme authors fully knew the WordPress eco-system. I can download any of those plugins and themes, fork them. Those forks not having the abusive notifications.

For most plugin needs, there are at least 20 plugins doing whatever function you want.

Yes, I have bought themes and plugins that I like. I even hired some of the authors to customize things for me.

So many authors who have a team.........you are not really doing the plugin, your team is...you might of done earlier versions but now your team is updating things. You are just sitting around directing. Yes I went there.

I use Firefox by the way, with uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger add-ons.

The one thing I do not like about this plugin, the acceptable ads option. NO.

With uBlock Origin, I can find any websites I want "acceptable".

The reason why Clarity, uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger and so forth exist is because of abusive unethical practices by other people.

I do not want to know about the PRO version of your plugin/theme as soon as I activate the plugin/theme.
I do not want to know about other plugins/themes you might have as soon as I active the plugin/theme.
I do not want to rate your plugin as soon as I activate the plugin/theme.

I don't want in a few days to get those notifications either.

I read the description of the plugin on wordpress.org before I download it.

All these notices are the unethical of the WordPress eco-system
