    Owning things like Pocket is fine as long as each product stands on it’s own. Melding them together is what upsets their user base.

      100%. And companies don’t seem to realize this. I’ll use fakespot, but there is absolutely no use for it to be an inbrowser app, and the fact that it suggests (pushes) the idea each time I use the website is just maddening. That said, I appreciate that service.

      Pocket can stay or leave. I don’t care one way or the other. I never understood its usecase.

        I don’t think I’ve ever seen this suggestion. IDK where I clicked “STFU” but I only ever remember seeing something about it once.
