Social media has it’s place and uses, but I 100% do not want any company auto-joining me to their stupid social media feeds without my permission, it’s a complete violation of my trust in glowforge to be honest.

I will also add the 30% of my screen it takes up is a huge distraction from us simply focusing on making and using the software, and focusing at really the top job status is more important.
