> I wonder why it never occurred to them that one of the primary considerations should be that if you've sent me over 3 notifications in the past 5 minutes, and I haven't checked, please fucking stop.

Because sometimes reading the notification is enough to get the information I need, and I want to keep watching the notifications, but I don't need to respond to any of them.

This is an increasing problem with email too. If you don't open the email, you did not engage, so you can get removed from lists or, much worse, gmail will think something is spam. But gmail shows me most of the email in the UI next to the subject, so I don't need to open it. :sigh:
