You don't?

I disable notifs like the fucking plague.

Notifs? Yeah, because it's not a question of if; that shit is dead on arrival.

App stores should start treating notification blocks as a signal the app is low quality

[kibwen]

One look at the Android and iOS app stores should tell you that Google and Apple do not give a hoot about quality. If it makes money for the platform landlord, it stays.

The problem is when it’s an app that sometimes you want notifications from. I deleted Uber, for example, when it started spamming me.

That should be getting kicked off the store then! Didn’t google implement a solution to this like 10 years ago, notification channels? Does iOS still not having something like that? Is Uber lying about the content of the notification for the channel?

I thought it was against all the app stores rules to spam notifications that the user doesn’t want. Maybe I am mistaken.

[compootr]

Yep! Android packages do have channels. The issue is though, greedy companies jumble their notifications into one channel, so if you want one thing, you get the whole ass-blaster 5000. this is why we can't have nice things

I generally treat computers as less than equal, so only messaging and critical apps get notifications. You [phone] only speak when asked to!
