I pay for google "Starter" workspace.
Recently I started to get harassed to upgrade. Big button in gmail, large notifications on top of my mail in the mobile app etc. Also two other buttons to get me to turn on AI features I don't need.
I already pay a lot, I don't want to pay double just not to be harassed.
Having buttons to features that I would have to pay extra for is one thing. But having notifications and large buttons to upgrade when I am already a paying customer is harassment.
Unfortunately, even if you upgrade there are still upgrade prompts for an even higher version of Workspace and gemini.
Recently screen sharing a document I noticed a new "omg please use gemini" button they placed OVER THE DOCUMENT itself. That's in addition to the magic star thing in the right and the gemini menu item. If you're using Chrome there are the browser ai buttons, too.
And if you upgrade to standard workspace it still tells you account not eligible for antigravity
Idk what google is doing
The market demands INFINITE GROWTH
…and 0.1% of users click the button that annoys 99% of users, so it‘s a BIG SUCCESS.
0.1% is 2x better than typical 0.04%.
there is no graph of user happiness. there is only graph of PROFIT
