  • Is anyone else being completely inundated with ads everywhere in Mint this week?
  • In my mind, it’s been in maintenance mode the last eight years.
  • Mint is a fossilized financial tool and exhibits severe symptoms of neglect.
  • Ads are getting thrown in my face now. I've used mint constantly for years. This is making me rethink it. Pretty bummed about it.
