Not getting stuff pitched to you constantly by everyone is such an unending exercise of updating preferences, "unsubscribing", rejecting permissions requests, etc. It feels almost futile.

Not to mention the "ask again later..." option having replaced the flat out "no" option.

Even the people you'd imagine might be more sensible (eg Proton) email the crap out of you by default.

So when even the OS starts doing it, it's somewhat infuriating.

It's gotten to the point where I resist looking at my iPhone because I'm going to have to take up my brain space with the unwanted notifications. I'm not sure what it is but on Android it's less pushy and I can clear all notifications with a single click. So most of the time my new iPhone sits in a drawer and I use my old Android as I go about my day.
