Facebook seems to have adopted the dark pattern of messenger notifications of "1" even after I have deleted all chats. Every time I open the facebook app I am alerted of a new message. I've gone so far as to file a report with facebook, but have not heard back. I assume this behavior is intentional at this point.

They do the same for me in the FB app on the Marketplace section. They’ll put a red icon down there that makes me visit that section to make it go away. Unfortunately the only things I see on there are cars where the list price is $1 but when you open the ad it’s actually $20k. I’ve reported those to Facebook as scams but the response was “these are legitimate ads” so there’s no reason to go back. Other than that damn red icon.

  I have had that happen at times with Marketplace also, which is pretty much another garbage feature on FB. My usage has personally declined drastically as they continue to introduce more features.

Their getting pretty aggressive with their notifications. I'm getting tons of friend x updated their status or other minor minor items they wouldn't send a notification for before, I suppose their trying to get people to reengage

I just noticed this myself in the past week.
