pull, not push for me.
The biggest one I've switched off is email notifications and it's made me so much more organized. Instead of swiping away an interruption when I can't respond properly I'll pull the information when I do have time/ability to respond, bills now get paid on time for example.
Google is one of the biggest offenders at re-enabling it's own notification though. Youtube, an app I don't want and can't remove decided to start spamming me again last week.
For me it's essentially my work e-mail (not personal), the WSJ, my credit card, my calendar and Accuweather. Everything else can forever hold its peace
plus I suspect they can gather more info on people with an app than with a mobile browser
The overall quality of my experience on Reddit was slowly degrading for the past few years. I didn’t enjoy the culture of the subs I visited any more, or the apparent culture of the site overall—and Reddit itself seemed to be funneling me towards those people and places because that kind of mild controversy drives engagement. But it felt like it had become an unjustifiable waste of time because I wasn’t even being enriched or entertained anymore. They started pushing harder to share my location, watch live broadcasts, use their chat, started abusing app notifications, and the ads became surprisingly intrusive. Eventually I just decided to leave.
I don’t really begrudge them any of the changes if it helps them build a successful, sustainable business that their users enjoy—I’m just not interested in the new experiences and functionality they have prioritized.
