This is a thing that annoys me and it’s not just Microsoft doing this: there’s never a “No” button, it’s always “Not now” or “Maybe later”. As if i’m going to reconsider. As if it’s an honest offer worth thinking about and not a pop-up.
I guess “no” implies “this is your only chance to permanently decide”.
“Remind me later” is obviously going to be an annoying reminder.
“Maybe later” or “Not now” indicates it can be changed later, but might also come with annoying reminders.
This is what life is like for women. So many men are taught to not take “no” for an answer, and just keep pressuring her, waiting for her to wear down and give in.

They should rename “remind me later” to “nag me later”.

Also the story of almost all Hollywood romcoms.
It’s like an annoying kiosk salesman at the mall but he’ll show up in your livingroom when you least expect it.
