Presumably because we let them by continuing to use their products. It’s definitely bullshit though - every time I log into a site I managed my dashboard is littered with notification banners. Most are legit notifications (albeit there should be a proper log for that), but the actual ads for plugins are maddening.
I have to say, I’m so over WordPress that those static site generators are looking pretty sweet right about now.
Right? I’m tired of my admin dashboard being a wall of plugin advertisements (especially from plugins I already pay for).
Omg the ads. How are they even allowed to get away with that?!

Pshaw… just write it in raw HTML. It’s an incredibly legible markup language. I talk to my spouse in HTML just to stay sharp.
I just write all my blog posts inside the empty line of this:
<!DOCTYPE html> <title>My Blog</title> </html>Keep it simple, stupid!
I went with eleventy and pure markdown files and I never looked back.
I say this as a person who loves WordPress and contributes to the open-source project.
