I prefer having as few apps as possible

so using the web is my go-to

i dont have reddit, on my phone for example.

Also, all those app icons are just "advertisement" every time you look at your phone screen... i dont need that.

if you REQUIRE me to use an app, then i'm only using it if i absolutely have to. (there's almost always an alternative)

You wouldn't believe the volume of actual advertisements that show up as push notifications on my wife's phone

These are so infuriating they should be illegal.

Especially when they come from apps you can't delete like your bannking app.

At least Apple has a rule against push spam, which they toe the line on but it's still a lot less bad than it could be.

Does it work the way CAN-SPAM is supposed to work (marketing can be unsubscribed from with rules about what constitutes "transactional" messages)?
