+3Developers! This is the kind of spam I ended up having to pay for an account for so I wasn't constantly bombarded with internal ads. Now I have them to my paid for account. It's unacceptable.
Can anyone advise how to turn this spam off in the app? I cannot find it. Is it possible with a REST request or similar via your API?
I have no requirement for anything like this. My alternative is to turn off notifications from Strava completely.

+27I've never seen such pushes but I can say for sure there isn't any API call that can change user settings.
+3Thanks Jan, would be a great addition.
From a Product perspective, it would mean savvy customers can customise their spam from Strava itself, while leaving Strava capable of annoying its main customer base they want. Simples!
+1I totally agree!
I have a plan, I have goals, I pay for Strava, I TOTALLY want go be able to turn off the inane screen wasting garbage from Strava! It’s getting worse and worse - no I don’t encourage friends to pay for an account anymore - mostly they can do the things they want through other apps and more and more of us will follow them unless we can customize to strip things down to what’s important to us.
This needs a revisit as the problem has become even worse. I do not care that Runna is part of Strava. I do not care about all the useless little features Strava wants to push.
I want to see MY feed with MY friends/socials. If I wanted to see ads I wouldn't have purchased a subscription. Quite frankly Garmin now offers most of what Strava offers, so cancelling my sub is becoming more likely.
On the PC I now run a script to remove the increased volume of *internal* ads I receive on a paid account. On mobile this isn't an option.
Even YouTube allows you to flag things as “not interested". Get with the program!
