I feel like the cycle of Slack is:

1. Everyone subscribes everyone to tons of notifications and people send email to everyone.

2. Everyone gets too much email and starts ignoring it.

3. Everyone hates email, no one responds.

4. They switch to Slack. It is great, high signal-to-noise, channels to organize.

5. People start adding notifications, subscriptions, blasting messages to many channels.

6. You are back to all of the problems of email.
