Apps are designed for maximum engagement. I don’t know if my experience is unique but I turned off all notifications in Twitter’s settings, yet it still shows exactly one notification when I launch the app. Kinda creepy how blatantly they ignore your wishes to not get spammed.

At some point notifications changed from solely “Look, this person interacted with your thing” to include things like “Look, someone on your friends list added a person you dont know” and i just know this boosted metrics enough to get some jackass a bonus.
