Bruce, I scanned your book and saw:
OP unsubscribed 3 times. OP was frustrated. OP just wants them to stop.
I'll describe the "Settings" page for you since you have no reason to go there.
"OP and the Big Bad Notifications" (based on a true story)
The Settings page has 4 tabs. The first one is always selected by default and it's called "Options". It's name is really easy to see and it has lots of little check boxes. The other 3 tabs are not so easy to see because no one has selected them. So sad. OP saw all the little check boxes and she checked them all, one after the other. Then she saw a big "Save" button at the bottom of the page. "Oh my! I'm going to click that Save button and all my troubles will be over."
...repeat the above two more times.
"Oh phooey! Nothing was saved. I unsubscribed 3 times! I just want those bad old notifications to stop, but they won't!"
Later, a kindly gentleman on a user forum told OP about another tab on that page called "Subscriptions". He told OP that if she looked really hard, she would see it because, you know, it was kind of pale and sad because it hadn't been picked. Then he told her that she would see a word called "Unsubscribe". If she clicked that word, then all of her troubles truly would be over. Those nasty old notifications would never bother her again. So OP looked and she looked and then she said "Oh wait! I see that tab called 'Subscriptions' you told me about. I did as you suggested. Thank you, kind sir. Now all my troubles are over."
So even though OP got frustrated when she only thought she had unsubscribed to get rid of the notifications, she didn't give up and she was successful after all.
* What the kindly gentleman told OP Apologies to Ms. Sue Johnson
