Dev says ngrok support spammed him daily and tracked down his Discord, so he dropped it

A developer recounts a bizarre experience with ngrok: after emailing them a question about load balancing, he got his answer but was then hounded for feedback with multiple emails per day — the company even found his Discord account and a server he was active in to keep pinging him.
He describes the behavior as "absolutely deranged" and immediately stopped using ngrok. The incident happened around 2024–2025, a cautionary tale about aggressive vendor follow-ups.
