My friend sent me this, I read the headline and got a heart attack.

It's not so bad. It's five weeks of no updates.

It's about them posting affiliate links or something.

Since there's a lot of Astra theme users out there or upcoming bloggers, just thought I'd let you know.

Cheers!

Care to explain why?

I've got Agency Astra license, and the theme is decent compared to anything else I've used.
