    Good thing I block/disable all of that crap and if a program does it I will just uninstall…I don’t need some shit device to tell me what to do and when to do it.

      I mean, notifications are an integral part of many apps. You think people just randomly decide to open their phone app, texts, or emails, just to see if they have any unread messages or if they’re actively receiving a call? No, they wait for a notification to prompt them. Nobody is just randomly browsing through all their various apps to check for new messages.

      Saying you don’t use notifications is like saying you only turn your phone on when you’re actively making a call, then you turn it right back off again. While it may be true for you, it’s intentionally missing the point and definitely isn’t the typical use case.

      Hell, if you’re reading this comment now, it’s likely because you got a notification that I responded.
