IMO an optional referral bonus is less invasive than inline ads that could potentially change the quality of my response.

If we invented Excel's transpose in 2026, we'd put ads on it. Hey, someone has to pay for all that innovation!

Yes, but you still don't want to see crap like that nagging you every time you use the tool, especially when paying $200/mo for it.

ps. I wish there was a way to make this progress bar blink circle like in other places without this "Nagging...", "Flipping burgers...", "Fishing..." stupid nonsense and unaligned logo-like animation - it's infantile, poor taste, distracting and annoying. It was fun for first 5 minutes, it's not anymore, it's shitty now, make it stop, please.
