Wow what a little rabbit hole. I _think_ the confusion rightly stems from the missing update to the setting name (`educate_until_posts)`, because, afaik, in [PR#400074](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/40074) it seems to intend that the notice is only shown once, and never again, regardless of any count.

So now the setting no longer means _“show the message for the first N posts”_, but instead

**“Only ever show the education message if the user’s post count is already below this threshold, and even then, show it exactly once.”**

@Roman Am I correct to think we should update the copy of this setting?
