Yes, there is an option to disable the "motivational messages" and also the "animations."
There is an ongoing issue, with the site - the options are reset without any action of the user. So, one day, if a user disables the "motivational messages," by the next day, the setting turns itself back on again. It's been going on for a few years by now, I believe.
So, users are driven into a situation in which the script can circumvent that.
As of last week, complaints in the forum were issued, as to this same situation (so it isn't resolved):
