Hey Ray, thanks for the feedback! So, one thing you could do is just click on the popup. If you interact with it, it won't disappear.
That said, we've been grappling with this issue for a while now. Some users want the popups gone ASAP or not to show up at all, while others prefer them to stick around longer.
We're actually working on some cool personalization tech that uses an ML approach to learn your preferences and automatically adjust to what you want. It's tricky to please everyone, you know?
I've been hesitant to create a setting for every little thing, but we're definitely looking into ways to make it work better for everyone.
