love how it’s apparently okay for iOS apps to send you ads in push notifications now

there's no opt-out that I can find, and blocking notifications renders the whole app pointless (I installed it so that I could get a notification when my pizza was ready to pick up). the future sucks, man.

I thought that Apple's rules only allowed advertising notifications after explicit opt-in (which I absolutely didn't do), but the "Report a problem" link in the app store just 404s, so I guess nobody cares about enforcing it 🤷♂️

iOS relies heavily on app store policy instead of technical enforcement, and this is the result. Before iOS 12, apps always had to request consent to send notifications. Store policy is applied very inconsistently with special cases made for large companies / apps, etc.
