    WTF? Why do people like getting notifications at all? Every time I get one on my phone that is not important I am just full of anger because it is distracting me from getting stuff done.

      Literal doses of happy chemicals get released because attention. You should watch the Social Dilema if you haven’t already.

      You can literally get people hooked on this and retrain on what is good happy time and what is not good happy time. Shit is scary.

      I get notifications for precisely two things: Texts and emails. And only emails because of work. Otherwise it would only be texts. I turn off all other notifications the second I install the app because I don’t need that shit.

      I wouldn’t say I like it but I kinda need it for work. If I don’t I get confronted about an email that I haven’t read yet and am not able to give an intelligent response.
