I was/am a big fan and a power user. I think it's worth pointing out around two weeks ago Streak automatically put a signature file into any Streak based email without asking you to opt in. I thought suddenly dropping "Lovingly managed by Streak" as a new signature file without permission showed poor judgement or desperation.
Co-founder of Streak here. Chalk that one up to poor judgement. We definitely screwed up with that one and are really friggin sorry about that.
We gave settings to disable that when it launched, but that was obviously not sufficient especially since it was on by default. After it started to roll out and we got complaints pretty much instantly, we turned it off within a few hours.
So ya, if this soured you permanent off of Streak then obviously that sucks big time. We definitely learned our lesson though, so hopefully we get one mulligan.
It was an interesting move and damaged my heretofore unabashed love. But all startups get a free pass on one thing like this if they quickly recognize, acknowledge and move on. Still using!
