Any app that does shit like that immediately loses notification privileges. At the very least. If it's something that I don't need (thanks for reminding me, app), then I will just remove it.

I wish there was a more punitive option. Like, yeah, I disallowed notifications, but I also had a leaky gallon of liquid shit delivered to the CEO's home.

The most punitive thing you can do is give it a 1 star review.

As it so happens it's also the nicest thing you can do for everybody else since it makes it less likely people will download that app.

No application should have this privilege by default. I only gives it to apps that can't work without it.
