OK, so there is gratuitous use of push notifications, but it's also unfair to compare push usage between a utility app and apps that are trying to convince you to try something new.
How about we compare the pushes to email campaigns by companies?
I for one am constantly amazed at how much users tolerate these emails.
So I say, yes, make it easier to stop the pushes just like it's easy to unsubscribe from email campaigns. It could be as easy as making sure users know that the pushes stop when the app is uninstalled.
But I think outside of other app developers and the tech community, users may not feel as strongly that this is abuse.
