 * There’s some sort of developer ego when creating these kinds of ridiculous and
   ugly banners like they think it’s the only plugin installed in a site. I didn’t
   even knew who’s plugin it belonged. I just happened to login and the entire screen
   was hijacked with whatever give me your email, watch this and that.
 * The fact that WordPress allows showing _notifications_ does not mean it should
   be abused. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should and with a bit of creativity
   you could find alternatives like at least unifying them or be more subtle.
 * Anyway, you’ll likely keep getting reviewed because of this so good luck.

 * Thanks for the feedback. I strongly believe there is significant value delivered
   through those notifications. We have them exactly like that for almost two years.
 * Anyway, you can turn them all easily. There is a button under each notification
   that does it.

 * I’m sure you’re right and there’s valuable information delivered, however the
   user experience is bad.
 * By showing it like this (always in any backend page in this spammy format) they
   basically scream for attention in any given context at anytime. However the information
   should be in quick reach when in need, not always.
 * Even if it’s easy to close, because they’re overwhelming the first instinct is
   to close them. So they didn’t brought anything valuable just a frustration.
 * Why not encourage this user engagement while working in PYS’s dashboard? The 
   user is engaged with the plugin so it’s way more likely to get even more engaged.

 * Thank you too for your patience and sorry for the impulsive rating. The plugin
   is great and very useful, no question.

 * That’s great to hear. And I think you are right, those notifications should be
   improved and made smaller. I will try to deliver the same information in a better
   way.
