By tolerating it you are perpetuating it.
Why wouldn’t you uninstall it?
You would but this definitely fits the criteria for asshole design.
In Android when you long press on the notification you can also disable them.
In case you need/want to use the app but not see the notifications
And newer versions of Android have notification categories for each app.
So if the developer does their homework I can turn off particular notification types and let others through, and that way you can -gasp!- actually have a messaging app that only notifies you of actual messages, instead of constantly begging for your attention for a bunch of superfluous crap.
And if I go to the notification settings for that app and it doesn’t have a category I can easily drop, it either gets completely silenced, or it gets uninstalled.

Experience shows that most apps, especially the ones where you would want to disable a subset of their notifications, do not support that.
So in most cases I will just disable them completely and if I feel generous I will remind them about this feature via a play store review.
