Push notification advertisements are not OK

[JohnA7]

I just got an *ad* via notification from Parallels (for $949 worth of software for $39.99!) , and I just wanted to say this is unacceptable. Save that sort of nonsense for promotional e-mails where I can completely ignore them, never make it pop up on my desktop. That commercial software I pay for would do this is simply offensive. So, here's my new notification setting for Parallels:

I received the same notification today; this is completely unacceptable from software that I've already paid for.

Premium Mac App Bundle
8 Top Apps. *Only $39.99* Hurry-Offer Ends Soon. Buy Bundle​

I do not want to see ads in software I've already paid for. I do not want to be upsold after I've already made my purchase. I DEFINITELY do not want to receive ads as operating system notifications that disrupt my workflow.

Agreed, came here for this. Honestly I'm not sure I've ever received an ad via OS notifications from software I paid for. And in Parallels "My Account" online, in Personal Profile > Notifications I see a means to opt out of email ads but nothing about OS notifications.

I contacted Parallels Customer Support about this, and basically was told that I don't have a choice to receive these ads, they're actually wanted by other customers, and if I don't like it I can disable macOS notifications. lol

Thank you for contacting Parallels Support and we apologize for the inconvenience cause due to this.

Honestly I didn't even know that those iOS-like Notifications settings are a thing these days on MacOS, so thank you @JohnA7 for the quick instructions on how to stop disable ads turn off advertisements block popups when people search for it. ;-)
Personally I just went with None and unchecked all the boxes. Absolute B.S. for paid commercial proprietary software with "Pro Edition" in its name to load pop-up ads on my desktop. What kind of "pro" "appreciates" that "special" crap? Really offensive.
