Is it just cynicism? I see these things:
Quote:
I was able to open every format
Meaning, "I've just tried this out," and
Quote:
join in and help us
Meaning, "This is my product I'm promoting here."
The pairing of the two leaves me with a sense of deceptive marketing, even if the product is great and free. I want to run away from it, but then, I'm not the target audience anyway, so I'm already not there.
