 * I used to recommend this plugin but now they have added intrusive ads when you
   activate the plugin and there is a useless settings page with one sentence of
   help text and then more ads. Shame to see a previously good plugin be exploited
   like this.

 * Hey Stanislav,
 * Which ads you referring to?
    Do you have any suggestions how to recoup the time
   investment to create & support the plugin?

 * There is ads for your services and plugins in the notifications when you activate
   the plugins and littered everywhere in the sidebar of the plugins options pages.
   There also seems to be some sort of cloud functionality for storing “snippets”
   and “license keys”. What that has got to do with creating child themes is not
   clear.
 * I don’t oppose ads per se, and you are free to do whatever you want with your
   plugin, but it makes me depressed to see what used to be a small, clean utility
   plugin become a monster full of ads and intrusive behaviour.

 * The notification disappears 24h after plugin activation.
    It’s meant for first
   time users.
 * Cloud library
    The cloud library is a service that allows people to store snippets,
   license keys etc. It should save lots of time to people.
 * Let’s say you have snippets that you always use when you customize a theme.
    
   This could be a footer that dynamically outputs the year & adds your company 
   name, some widgets, tracking pixels etc.
 * You also could store license keys for popular paid plugins that you use.
    Think
   of it as Evernote but in the context of WordPress.
 * Badmouthing the whole plugin just because you don’t like the sidebar information
   makes me sad but you’re entitled to your own opinion.
 * Did you rate other popular plugins with 1 star because of their sidebar information?
