I'm doing the same thing except YouTube and certain niche subreddits have been very hard for me to kill off. Also apps that I want to check up on every now and then get put behind a firewall so they can only access the network when I allow them to, but some are still able to send me notifications despite being blocked. I need to figure out how they are getting around that or better yet just uninstall the app. After I killed off all the big tech social media slop I found notifications for random things to be almost as bad.

At least to me, there's nothing subtle about it. As soon as I read that paragraph I wondered how obvious it was to Zuck that Thiel was blowing smoke up his ass.
