If an app sends me a notification/interruption to try to sell me things, that's an instant uninstall.

Companies producing such apps tell me "We feel entitled to abuse your time and attention if we can grift a penny or two from you."

Get out of my phone if you can't behave.

@thibaultamartin My bank's app send me a notification yesterday about using their useless point system, to enter a raffle, for tickets to an event.

I know I can ask my phone to be stricter with notifications, and I do. It's a matter of letting companies know in their analytics that what they did backfired.
