No, its abusers should die. Grabbing the attention when necessary is very useful. Regulation and user control are paramount however, otherwise it's just ripe avenue for abuse.
I'm genuinely curious: What about push notifications (at least on desktop browsers) bothers you that much? I give permission to a few (like Gmail, etc.) and that's that; it makes my life less stressful knowing that I'll get alerted when it's time.
Hard disagree. I want push notifications for my messengers and forums. Calm down and just turn them off in your settings.
I have done this for like 10 times already.
How do you know when your favorite live streamers go live? Push notifications is the best solution to this problem.
I watch and read everything on my own time whenever I like it, why would I ever interrupt my flow? Every distraction ruins my day.
I turn off all push notifications everywhere that aren’t direct messages from a person I know, but even still, I think you’re missing the point entirely here. You can’t watch a livestream on your own time, it being live is the whole point.
Ah, right. Didn’t get much sleep today, sorry. Yes, that would be an exception.
>why would I ever interrupt my flow?
Because watching streams live is better than watching a vod.
