So I keep getting pestered by Apple ...

I have let my iTunes Match expire but every time I log into my Mac I get a pop up saying my "iCloud music library" session has expired. In the pop up it gives me the option to sign in. I also got another pop up when I downloaded a song from iTunes and then added it to a playlist. See attached photos. Beside that playlist in the left side bar there is now a cloud icon with a line through it. How do I get rid of these pop ups entirely? I don't need or want cloud services. This to me feels like Apple intruding and pressuring me to return to iCloud.

Somewhere I read that after expiring Apple keeps your cloud library for a month or so if you change your mind. In preferences did you unclick ICloud Music and Apple Music? If not you have applied pressure to yourself

Are you referring to iTunes preferences? There is an Apple Music check box under the "general" tab which is unchecked. Otherwise I don't see anything else. I guess I can understand Apple keeping ones iCloud for a bit of time after expiration just in case one changes their mind. But the pop up each time I log into my Mac is still annoying.

I still subscribe to Icloud Music and there are two check boxes on mine Apple Music, which I don't use and Icloud Music. Have you tried signing out and back in on Itunes?

I signed out and back in and that seems to get rid of the pop ups. I only got one saying the Genius results are not available which I don't care for anyway. Guess I'm just old school.
