Android notification spam

I've opted out of all marketing communications, and you're now using the android notification system to push out your bollocks. Please stop.

Have you turned off notifications on your phone? Many apps do this, not just spotify.

No I've not turned them off. I'm not keen on turning off features on my phone to solve a problem that Spotify are creating by ignoring request to not send me marketing messages.

This is the only app on my phone that is doing it, and if every other app was it doesn't alter the fact that Spotify are spamming via a system designed for alerts not marketing.

Some other apps do this, but in spotify the notifications are used to control the music from outside the app, so disabling notifications completely isn't an option for some people.

Sucks that notification spam is a problem on a paid service.
