Do fake update at semi-random time. Visualize it, eg. show them a dialog with progress bar and percentage.

Thus wasting other people's time and productivity?
I'm using the Atom editor. It's kind of annoying how it pushes new updates every week. Previously used Subline Text 2 which just worked and did not have an update for years.
Sublime is a great example of users getting update fever. The forum is riddled with long ”is this software dead?” threads that pop up at regular intervals.
