Yeah, this is why devs and designers cannot be trusted to manage notifications on Android, iOS or any platform. Shit will instantly be abused to drive (users insane) "engagement" and all kinds of mental gymnastics will be done to justify the dark pattern as something positive.
I'm sure that it's possible to use push notifications in a way that benefits the user. I'm also sure that this almost never actually happens.<p>Notification are such a plague that I simply won't allow them, period.
