I think this was covered: > Another challenge is that irrelevant or unwelcomed pushes risk having the user disable notifications, uninstall apps, or start ignoring them due to low usefulness > most recommendation engines take a myopic view, over-optimizing on immediate user responses at the cost of long-term satisfaction.

It’s “covered” in that they write this and then immediately dive into an example where I buy a phone and start receiving push notification advertisements for buying cases. Do you think an app is going to ask me if I express interest in “related offers” or just start sending them unsolicited?
