You got me already, Microsoft, why are you still trying to bait me with these weird, desperate messages? I already subscribe to Microsoft 365, and I have done so for years, which is why it's all the more annoying that these "ads" are impacting me. This really touches upon a wider problem of Microsoft urging users to spend money on its platform.

The desktop is purely for nice photographs and temporary moving of files as they travel to greener, more organized pastures.

I know some people maintain an absurd and cluttered desktop full of random folders, shortcuts from apps that haven't been used in years, and cat pictures. To a lesser extent, this applies to the Desktop as well.
The minute I start syncing it, random folders and files are going to pop up in my OneDrive, sync at random since the usage of the local Documents folder is the Windows app equivalent of the Wild West. I do not want to sync your stupid local Documents folder, and I am tired of being asked to do so. And it spits in the face of the pristinely organized Documents folder I have been maintaining in OneDrive for years upon years. My Documents folder is thus full of random Steam game save files, huge, storage-gobbling temporary data from Adobe Premier, and a random "Backup" folder from your own PowerToys which serves literally no purpose, amongst other random bullshit. Do you know why it's full of garbage? It's because at some point, Microsoft, you asked app developers to start storing temporary files in the local "Documents" folder. Listen, my Documents folder, like most people, is full of garbage.

It would at least make some vague modicum of sense if I wasn't a subscriber, but asking me to change my habits so you can get a deeper look into the inner workings of my PC is insulting. It's then all the more maddening that Microsoft increasingly begs me to sync my Documents and my local Pictures folders, despite the fact I already have cloud versions of these folders, and despite the fact I am a paying subscriber.
