Let's say there's a scenario where you want to have a footnote, but you don't want a counter associated with it. In order to stay consistent with the document style, the solution should use `\footnote` within its implementation.
The solution: Define `\blfootnote{text}` in the preamble.
```latex
\newcommand\blfootnote[1]{
\begingroup
\renewcommand\thefootnote{}\footnote{#1}
\addtocounter{footnote}{-1}
\endgroup
}
```
This makes use of the footnote command while also re-adjusting the footnote counts so that our variant doesn't increase it. We can then use this command within the document. Here's a beamer example:
