Same issue here. Their marketing types really now how to make a software package totally unusable and difficult to work with. 

This business feed item that can't be removed is to allow Quickbooks to access emails. It claims that forwarding emails to auto fill transactions can help you cut down on manual work. Why would anyone give Intuit access to their customers contact information? They already flood  customers paying for their software with endless junk popups and attempts to upsell. Can you imagine how they would harass your customers?

The QBO solution to all of the other popups has always been to simply hit the X to make it go away. What will their bots say to this one?  Of course, we can always send them feedback that goes into the trash folder in their marketing group.
