I only have it enabled for social apps when someone actually is talking to me, but I just don't understand why there are notifications for these recommendations or suggestions from some algorithm.
These notifications are there so you will spend more time scrolling through their app, so they will occupy more of your limited mental space and social interactions, and serve you more ads/harvest more data about you to sell to info brokers and advertisrs.
