 * I was fine with the subtle hints about purchasing the premium support version.
   I was using the plugin for awhile and happily ignoring it. Logged into my person,
   self-hosting, panel today and what do I see? A big ol’ flashy banner at the top
   of every control panel page. Those ones you’d find in the year 2005 with a bird
   target thingy.
 * That has gone too far. If there’s any good alternatives, I highly advise you 
   to go with those alternatives

 * Hi [@swissair](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swissair/),
 * Thanks for your comment.
 * We understand that the Black Friday banner was annoying. Although it was dismissable,
   it was a bit buggy so we listened to our community and yesterday we publicly 
   apologized for any inconvenience this may have caused to our users ([link to Twitter](https://twitter.com/MariekeRakt/status/1200077958700044290))
   and released Yoast SEO v12.6.2 which completely removes the banner from the admin
   panel.
 * We appreciate your taking the time to send your feedback.
