An open letter to Google

Dear Google,

I want a functioning product that is fast. That means I do not want to participate in your “simulate slowness experiments.” I use your product because I think it is good. You do not have to annoy me about trying your new Google workspace. If I want to try it, I will try it.

When I dismiss your notifications, it means I have acknowledged your banner, read the contents, and do not want to try this new offering. It does not mean you need to prompt me about Google Workspace at every opportunity. This behavior has become very annoying to me and has now caused me to seek other options for word processing.

I wish I could stay with your Google Doc application, but my writing time needs to be without interruption. Even the little change (such as nesting page numbers in a sub menu, which adds another click) can be tolerated for a time, but this 90px banner is just too much for me.

Sincerely, Andrew
