I had this problem with the Amazon Music app even though I already pay for Amazon Prime. Every time I opened it, it would be "Hey, want to join Prime Music?" And I would say no, because IDGAF. And then it would ask me a second time, as if it couldn't quite believe me.

After months of this, I said yes just to get it to shut up, which meant that any attempt to listen to my music would it involve displaying lots of things that they could give me for free, none of which I wanted. Eventually I just stopped using the Amazon Music app.

It amazes me how much large company product design becomes about what companies want the users to do, with so little attention paid to what users actually want. I already had to uninstall the Amazon app and block notifications from the Kindle app because they insisted on chirpily notifying me of exciting special offers. By which they meant their various attempts to get me to buy crap I don't want.
