Driving me away from TD with this nonsense

Todoist developers (or development managers) must have nothing to do because they continue to cram stuff on my screen I don't want. First it was inspiration on the right side that I have to close. Today I see this crap at the bottom of a project:

Clutter is a distraction. If you want to add stuff like this, make it a setting and default it to off. Less = better focus.

They're thrashing around trying to dream up "improvements" when there's already a list of real features that users have requested; features that would make it a better task manager.

It's too bad; TD was a great app but it's becoming an add-a-useless-feature party.

Insights and Progress - ugh

I want a setting to disable both of these new features.

Some projects have recurring tasks that repeat forever so they never hit 100%. TD can't calculate progress or show insights without start dates, dependencies, etc. It has always been a task manager, not a project manager, so these features are TD trying to be something it isn't.

I'd be happier if new features like descriptions for projects, start dates (for tasks and projects) were on the roadmap.
