I might be in the minority group. But any app that sends me a push notification that I haven't specifically opted in for is going to have all notification privilege removed right away. A lot of the time it's actually a reminder for me to uninstall the app.

Glad I'm not alone. Any notification (or sms, email, phone call, etc) I didn't specifically, proactively seek out and ask for is spam, period.

You're not alone. I do the same thing.

Maybe not so overzealous though. I'll let a few through because I know it CAN be abused but some don't abuse it so badly. A marketing notification here and there is fine, but a few of them send me multiple DAILY. Those get muted and then the next time an app causes me to go to my notification settings, I notice the previously muted one and I determine "Have I used this meaningfully lately?" if not, after muting the current notifications app, I go an uninstall the previous ones.

Not to me. Any use of push notifications for marketing purposes is an abuse of push notifications in my view.

I thought both android and ios has opt-in notifications? In other words if you're receiving a notification, you already explicitly opted into them at some point.

Android does have opt-in notifications now, but it's a very recent change.
