How do I turn off or unsubscribe or otherwise let Verizon know I do not want to receive creepy notifications unrelated to data usage, billing, etc.    They pop up on my phone and link to a website with announcements about live stream concerts or some such.    Its not like I am using some cheap cruddy app that requires me to endure adverts.    How do I opt out?

Firstly, don't click on a link in a text that you think is a 'creepy notification unrelated to data usage'.  It probably is a PHISHING attempt to get you to click on a link opening you up to who knows what.
