I looked through many topics today to find out more about your "free" model and why some people say that your policy is called "shameless". If I speak from my own experience as a free user. I highly appreciate your work and am very fond of your program but I'm sadly in no position to actually give you any money (people in western europe might think, "jesus it's just 3€" but you know, that's like half a weeks worth of food for me). So I'm thankful and ok with you allowing us free users to use your software. I'm ok with watermark on all displays of my multiscreen system. I would be ok with your notification IF... IF that stupid notification poped up really only during the start of system (I almost never turn off my computer and restart system like once a two weeks). It would be even cool if it popped up every twelve of so hours, as it does (and alt+tabing seems to shorten the timer), but when it is always put above other programs even those in fullscreen mode that is WRONG and shameless. And I'm not talking about games here (although it also made me lose many times already) but during work? When you are in middle of a long text (I'm working as coder and translator) and suddenly in the middle of your typing wild popup appears and messes with your text, geeez. Ok, you as all the other product creators say "don't like it, don't use it" but your free of use on web never said anything about "ruining your work unless you pay". So I'm asking is there a reasonable solution to this or should I as many others look into cracked versions (although you made a really good effort in blocking them)? PS. this post is not meant to offend the author or be rude. I'm trying to be as polite as is humanly possible after months of frustration.
