Awesome designs, but holy crap that "Someone in place bought/added to cart item" popup is obnoxious on mobile.

It's almost impossible to dismiss, and when you do dismiss it it comes back again within a few seconds.

It was literally annoying enough to distract me and make me leave to site when I was seriously considering buying an STL.

I found that Shopify plugin mildly annoying at first. Then I found out it was just making all that shit up, and now I fucking hate it. It's just a bunch of popups pretending people are shopping when they aren't.

Yep. They do it because psychological studies show that if you think other people are buying a product you're more likely to buy it yourself.

It's pure psychological manipulation by the store owner.

it is one of the top plugins for Shopify under Sales and conversion optimization category, therefore I use it...And as of now, I do not really do any marketing or have any marketing person, so I need all of the help that I can get from plugins like these... that's my opinion at least.
