Settings Notification Badges for Apples Paid services like Applecare and other things I don't want. How do I make them stop and not come back

My phone keeps trying to sell me paid services through the settings app. How do I stop apple from trying to push stuff on me I don't want and tell them I don't want the services in a way they stop asking and remove the notification badge on the settings? Isn't settings supposed to be for settings? Is something wrong? Did it get mislabeled for ad space? Do I get paid for running ads for them on my phone? Is there any recourse for this outside of waiting up to a month for it to go away, for a known issues that's gone on for years apparently? Does asking questions here actually solve anything or is it just people being irritated that all we can do is wait? Have tried searching for an answer but it just gave me more questions.

Settings > Notifications > Apps > Choose an app > Turn off Badges
