This is way milder than Quora's (content-held-hostage, data-collecting) practices. Weebly is trying to help you complete a task you started -- the core task why anyone signs up with them -- and they make it easy to stop at any time.
And both Weebly and Quora are milder than FounderDating's 'dark pattern' of making it hard to realize a smarmy message will be sent out in your name, spending your credibility to harvest more prospects.
Weebly's messages just nudge you along a path you'd already chosen, trying to prove their worth and convert you into an appreciative customer. (They're not trying to extract extra value from your personal info or network as a non-paying customer.) We should expect every business to do the same sort of sales, in a forthright non-deceptive manner, until you give them a gentle signal of disinterest.
