This is a core system app interrupting you, promoting a sale by a movie-ticketing company, to push you to go see the platform vendor’s new movie.

Why not just pop up random ads all the time, always creating new channels that everyone’s opted-into by default so you can never keep up with opting out of them all?

Oh wait, that’s already what happens.

Apple’s as bad as everyone else. They don’t respect their customers — we’re fodder.

They truly have no standards anymore.

@marcoarment @caseyliss I'm curious—can you tell what prompted this, or if it's targeted from some previous behavior? Or do we think it's sent in waves? I haven't seen this notification, so it seems like it's not a blanket "send it to everybody at once" kind of thing.

I’m thinking what HELPED prompt this was a promotional agreement clause with the F1®️™️ organization.

I get notifications for Apple TV shows. It ~IS~ frequently a new episode drop for something Apple knows I watch. Promos for some new Apple Arcade game I’m not interested in. Etc.

Is it really that much removed from ‘Close Your Rings!’
