  For this whole spring have I clicked hundeds of times that I’m aware that my trial is ending

  This is… not quite related to the topic, no? Trial ending warning is not a “hey, here’s a new feature you might want to try out”.

  They also introduced a new feature that they promote on a space that takes literally half the screen

  Could you elaborate? I used to use Edge as my daily driver, now it’s my secondary browser. I have no clue what you mean here.

    Not speaking of edge here, but the Microsoft fabric/power platform. They tried to sell me some feature for months and eventually i missclicked and started the trial. Now they are notifying that the trial ends in x days and they’ve been extending it so it never ends
