Yeah, not buying it. I’m getting spammed with „quests” from multiple apps now that got the same idea. Seems like a workaround for Apple App Store rules where apps shouldn’t be using notifications for ads, but „quests” are fine somehow.
Yeah, so get this. One of those apps is a shipping company that’s close to being a monopoly. You could pick up their parcels with just a phone number but now you need account for safety. So I can’t uninstall it. I need notifications on because I’m a klutz and need reminders. And so I’m also invited to collecting some dumb coins or NFTs they sell. Discord made way into people’s lives too, they’re now dependent and screwed.

Considering my mobile app doesn’t even load half the time I try it, I look forward to ads crippling it even more.
I cannot comment on the apple ecosystem, and personally don’t have any experience with other apps doing what Discord is doing with these.
These applications likely know they can get away with it, as people classify them as “too important” to uninstall.
The solution is to make them wrong: To uninstall. Who woulda thunk.
