Sometimes the close button even tries to make you feel guilty about clicking it, like :

"No, I'm not interested in learning about latest cloud technologies every week [x]"

Or the famous "Not now" meaning "Fine, I will bother you again later anyway"

"Not now" is something even Google does quite frequently.
