And this is the risk that operating system developers run when you take away features or you don't develop features that your userbase wants.

Look at the amount of Start Menu modifiers there are out there for Windows. All because Microsoft keeps on changing the start menu. Why? I don't know. I just want to get rid of the Recommended section, but I'm not allowed to.

Last night I got a notification that advertised Game Pass to me. I angrily clicked on manage notifications and there’s a notification source called “Suggested” that somehow was turned on. That was the last straw for me. I go through so much diligence setting up my browser’s ad block, only for the OS to bypass all that.

For now “Suggested” is turned off and I disabled all notifications for good measure, but I don’t know how much longer Windows will allow that. I don’t intend to find out.
