I disabled all possible notifications hoping I would only have the streak reminder, but no - it still abuses them with random crap. I then set an iPhone reminder for the streak, and completely disabled duolingo's notifications from the phone settings. Peace.

It still spams you after every lesson, but I often just kill the app when it does. Quite a few ads also fail to load due to Lockdown mode or my pihole (also when away from home, due to the vpn I always keep).

I may just be their worst customer, having never given them a cent or even clicked an ad (and often not even impressions). On the other hand a bunch of people use it because of me and follow me due to having a long streak, so maybe I'm still worth keeping around.
