Those Spammy Ads!

Hi @luis-alejandre,

Thanks for your comment.

You should no longer see the Black Friday banner in the backend. That said, we understand that the banner was annoying. Although it was dismissable, it was a bit buggy so last Thursday we released Yoast SEO v12.6.2 which completely removes the banner from the admin panel.

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you. You can also find our public apologies on social media through this link.

Oh well, here comes the copy-and-paste reply I had asked not to get.

A moderator removed my line saying I hoped I did not get such kind of pre-made response because apparently I made the mistake of addressing the individual who was replying.

But I′m not against any individual in particular, this is just a message to the company:

Getting exactly the same reply as everybody else feels spammy too.

Hi @luis-alejandre,

We used a saved reply because it allows us to inform our users as soon as possible about the banner fix. That said, we acknowledge that it’d have been nicer to respond with a personalized reply to each user.
