Examples?

(not parent) their onboarding pushing is frequent, app is fine but web is popup-y with offers/perks

<rant>if i get popups slowing down my web visit it makes me less likely to upsell to, i'd rather a seperate pricing page that i have to manually click to see, my memory serves that most services ive bought have no popup modal (my memory is probably wrong statistically but right emotionally\

maybe op was a/b tested to something more irritating

Fair. They do advertise plans to existing subscribers, even plans that aren’t even an upgrade from your current one.

However on the other hand they do offer a toggle to turn these off completely in the settings. One could argue that it should be opt-in rather than opt-out though.

I wouldn’t count this as a black mark against their reputation though as it’s not the product inherently getting worse.

Funny enough this has been pointed out a lot pretty frequently this past week.
