1643 day streak here, and it still looks like it’s going to die on me any second now. I guess it was just an icon change (but… why?!)

Indeed. Apple does give you control over notifications, in their different forms, so just turn them off.
Having said this I have the app installed since forever and notifications turned on (useful for order status, shipping notifications etc) and never got a self-promoting notification like that. I wonder if it is a regional thing (I’m in Europe).
Open. If my kids need help and call out in the middle of the night, I would like to hear them!
Closed, to keep the monsters in…
I say a variation of this to my kids almost every week. It boggles the mind how, with such an easy access to all the information in the world, they don’t know something and just shrug it off instead of searching for information (90% of times a simple google search would do). I imagine myself at their age with such resources at my disposal: I’d have been a much happier (and knowledgeable) kid!
Sadly, this was a thing even before the web, let alone social media. There’s always been people for whom the vacations didn’t even “happen” unless they get to go on incessantly about them when they come back, ideally subjecting you to two hours of photos that mean very little to you. They derive little enjoyment from actually being there, they take it from showing it others…
For some people life is not worth living without external validation. Sad.
