This is BS.  It was bad enough I was forced to buy a new license to the tune of now $400 every three years, as well as the expense of the payroll option I purchased since 2014.  When QB jammed this so-called "Discovery Hub", a.k.a. ADVERTISING GARBAGE down my throat I turned all of my employees into contract laborers, canceled my QB payroll account, and will NEVER pay another cent for QBP or any of its related services ever again. Did QB get the message?  oh, heck no. When I launch the program while connected to the web I get SEVERAL popups telling me I MUST sign into my canceled online account, even though I have pop ups disabled in the EDIT preferences section.  Screw you.   Hope your ignorant bean counters are real happy, this type of arrogant animalization of my personal time and space is costing loyal customers like me to bail out, and, trust, NEVER come back.  Again,  I checked the "TURN OFF POP UPS" ages ago in my QBDesktop Pro immediately following the extremely irritating, incessant BS known as "DIscovery Hub".  It did NOT turn off the constant demands to log into online account to keep current - which I do NOT want to do!  LEAVE ME ALONE, good grief, get a frikkin clue.  Out.  And good riddance.  Never again.  Eight years was all I could stomach.
