>What really pisses me off is that there are certain apps where I really have to enable notifications like Uber Really though? I have multiple necessary apps (and some I don't really need) on my phone and universally just cut off all their notifications of all kinds, because fuck that shit. If, as per your example, I need to know in some context when a certain app is going to remind me of something genuinely necessary/ueful soon, I just check it often while waiting without enabling notifications. If we're talking about your average Uber, that's a few minutes of checking periodically until you get what you want. A bit tedious? Sure, but only for a few minutes here and there, vs letting these scummy little dark patterns hassle you all the time with their notification turds.
