Not true on my Sony experia, in Finland. So I am thinking that instead of adjusting the settings for alerts, maybe check settings of the store itself? The play store app, like this screen? Maybe. Dunno if that's the difference here.
They might give you the possibility to opt out thanks to living in the EU, the OP might not be as lucky.
you can unsubscribe from "recommendations" separately tbf (or decline subscription in the firsr place)
Yeah Starbucks does the same thing with "Promotions and Order Status". :/
The management executive who took this decision deserves a punch in the face.
To be fair, most of these apps were made before the notification categories were invented and they don't keep the consultants that made the initial app, or want to pay for the change.
Aw poor corporate behemoth doesn't want to spend the pennies (compared to profits) to do things right. If we're being fair, fuck them for cheaping out at our expense.
As does SkipTheDishes. Want to be notified that your food is almost here? Fuck you, be bombarded with promotions and deals you didn't ask for.
Why would anybody name a food company STD lol
it's not named STD it's named SkipTheDishes
Wow this is unethical. They should all be separate toggles.
They know exactly what they're doing. They're never ignorant of this shit, it's 100 percent intentional. So much for not being evil.

This should be better with /e/OS or lineageOS, but you have to jump through several hoops (and often lose your warranty) when you install them instead of your default Android OS.
Unfortunately most devices block them completely, but the Pixel phones are supported (as far as I know).
Custom ROMs on Google Pixel don't void your warranty and its super easy to revert back to stock ROM
literally Google supplies a free program to flash most phones back to stock. it's easier than ever
How would an AOSP fork help with an app not using the notifications API correctly? Just magically rewrite the app?
AOSP forks don't contain the play store
Edit: Well, some do, but I don't recommend those
My gripe with non android os is that they usually don't have access to bank apps, and those are a must
Whenever I tested it, my banking app worked on non-rooted e/os. A rooted device however is not accepted by my banking app.
i run rooted LinageOS 21 with the Zygisk Assistant and Play Integrity Fix modules. No app can detect i use a custom rooted rom. Google wallet and my banking apps work just fine. And i can do whatever the fuck I want with my phone since it's rooted. For example with AdAway all ads are gone. I love it.
I always got receipts and cancellation infos via the mail connected to the Google account. One time there was no balance and I had no payment methods set up and I got "Your Google Play balance is too low to pay for your {app name} subscription. To keep your subscription active, please add credit or a new payment method."
So, if you get email notifications you probably don't need that.
I completely disabled all notifications from Google play. There isn't a single one worth of it.
That said, when I open it (like once every 2 months) I have a permanent dot on the notification area, with a notification that goes about 'plz enable notifications so we can spam you'
