Best part is when they're shit and don't categorize / separate out their notifications into categories I just turn notifications off. If companies want to play by the rules and have properly segmented notifications I'm happy to let some of them through, else they're all getting disabled
AliExpress is one of the worst offenders. If you want "useful" notifications (like order updates) you have to put up with their ads and deals bs. I turn them all off.
Get rid of the app. You really don't need to buy that cheap shit anyways. I got rid of Alli and temu.
You have good brands on aliexpress, you just need to be careful before buying. At least better than amazon.
And yeah delete that app, you don't need theses fake 10 cents savings with their shitty coin.
@DAMunzy @victron there's lots of tech stuff only available on Ali, or that are significantly cheaper there because of currency conversions and scalper resellers on other platforms.
