I would be more responsive online if so many sites hadn't decided to throw "a person you know is speaking directly to you" and "We Think This Might Interest You" into the same bucket of infinite notifications
extra special hate for the CVS app, which does not have separate notification settings for "your prescription cannot be filled, contact your doctor ASAP" and "new deals picked just for you!"
great job, CVS marketers, you found a scenario where it might be medically dangerous for your users to turn off notifications, and you put ads in it
every time i get a notification from the wells fargo app it fills me with abject terror because it pegs the vibration motor on my phone for like a whole second and then its for something stupid and not "you overdrafted"
It rules that all our communication channels are inundated with garbage to the point most people just gave up on trying to sort the noise from the signal
Last year we ended up going without health insurance for the last four months because there was an issue with our payment and they only notified us by mailing us an overdue bill... Which we threw out because the envelope looked exactly the same as the dozen garbage "offers" we get every fucking day
