I recently unsubscribed from a grocery delivery service becuase they kept pushing adverts through their app. I gave them notification permission so I could see when my delivery is nearby, not so they could spam me. Voting with my wallet on this one. (For the curious, a subscription means free delivery. The subscription costs 10 euro a month, and if you don't have a subscription, the delivery fee is around 4 euro)

> For the curious, a subscription means free delivery It sounds like a subscription means ad-funded delivery to me though

  That's clearly how it turned out but going in, I would have expected the a subscription to be a discount in exchange for a commitment of repeat business.

    Yeah I would expect a subscription to remove ads Personally I would absolutely refuse to pay for services that still continue to serve me ads even though I'm paying I loathe advertising. I don't understand why most people seem so apathetic about it

  You don't need a subscription to use the app, and I presume these ads are pushed to all users.
