- The flag of Ukraine, which is under constant bombing and shelling by Russian occupational troops, is also in the first row. Some flags, like Polish and Singaporean, are duplicated in the selection.
- Notion is developed by the US startup Notion Labs. Therefore, it is rather uncommon for an American company to brag about continuing to work in Russia, which is strictly sanctioned by the US Government.
- Some users noted in comments, that, moreover, Russians are openly cheating in order to continue using Notion in their country.
Guys. Just so you know, you promote a Russian community where members discuss how to manipulate your pricing rules and are using Ukrainian location due to the “favorable” exchange rate. Are you fine with that? pic.twitter.com/XWuydjMErA
