--- Comment #4 from John Veness <[email protected]> ---
I have spent several hours troubleshooting this and I think I have narrowed
this down to some very specific steps to reproduce:

1, Create a brand-new Linux user
2, Copy the above into ~/.local/state/UserFeedback.org.kde.discover
3, Run Discover
4, Notice the popup appears every time you launch Discover

The crazy thing, and the thing that took ages to work out, is that the problem
will persist even if you delete ~/.local/state/UserFeedback.org.kde.discover.
It turns out that a file ~/.config/KDE/UserFeedback.conf is created that
contains just:

[UserFeedback]
LastEncouragement=@DateTime(\0\0\0\x10\0\0\0\0\0\0%\x8d\x33\x4^R\x91\0)

You have to delete *both* ~/.local/state/UserFeedback.org.kde.discover and
~/.config/KDE/UserFeedback.conf at the same time (while Discover isn't
running), to fix the issue.

This also implies that another set of reproducible steps is:

1, Create a brand-new Linux user
2, Create a ~/.config/KDE/UserFeedback.conf file containing:
[UserFeedback]
LastEncouragement=@DateTime(\0\0\0\x10\0\0\0\0\0\0%\x8d\x33\x4^R\x91\0)
3, Run Discover
4, Notice the popup appears every time you launch Discover

As to how I got into this state in the first place, I don't know, but this is a
user that I've had for quite a long time, since Plasma 5 times, so I imagine
there must be other people in a similar state.
