Study reveals some teens receive 5,000 notifications daily, most spend almost two hours on TikTok | Kids officially don’t like Facebook::undefined
That’s about 4990 more than I do.
I’ve disabled almost all of them. Even the ones I do get only appear as an icon on my notification bar. I don’t even have lockscreen notifications anymore. I find it too invasive, and feel like the device is demanding my attention.

5,000 daily is 3.47 per minute for 24/7. Insane?

probably from all the people
who can’t form a single sentence
without hitting “send”
every two words

I heard it coined as they use the send button as punctuation.

I kinda need to do this with my dad, otherwise he doesn’t notice texts. For example he texts me “Buy that spread for €0.79”. “Hazelnut or cocoa?” which if I don’t follow with ~5 question marks, he won’t even notice.

I recently started dating again and noticed a lot of people do this now it’s very annoying.

What’s the disadvantage? I really only see advantages.
The first message introduces a conversation followed by a follow up. As soon as you send the first message it’s easier to send the second one too since you already introduced the conversation.
The other person then answers with a short answer where they don’t really have to think about what they write and how they write it. You instantly get an answer.

I know a lot of people who never change their Discord notifications. They get notifications for every message in every channel in every server. It’s insane.
Obviously they do not actually interact with these notifications. They tune them out, and I guess eventually they will swipe them away. Personally it always stresses me out a little when I see their phones with a hundred notifications. I’ve never been a proponent of “inbox zero” for email, but “notification bar zero” has been my standard way of using smartphones for as long as smartphones have existed. If I got 3 notifications per minute on my phone, I would probably smash it with a hammer and go find a nice cave to retire to.

I have been doing inbox zero for a few months now and it has been great. Swipe right to delete, left to archive. Anything in my inbox actually needs my attention.
Also don’t give out my real email and unsubscribe from anything I don’t need. It’s just a few emails per day now.

What about permanent notifications? I’ve got “a few”.
newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
I just glance at it and instantly swipe away what I don’t need.

This number is skewed by Notifications John, who receives millions of notifications a day and should not be counted

I can see my phone getting that if I let every app just push whatever they want. I purposefully and carefully go through and ensure I’m only getting notifications for what I need them for.
I average 250 a day. With 3/4 of those being messaging apps.

I feel like I’d install a bunch of shit before getting anywhere close to a tenth of that. I’d hate my phone. However, I’m far from being a teenager and their ways and methods have become somewhat mysterious.

Probably also random games and apps spamming you to play them

I get a lot, although not that many, but I have sound turned off for most and clear them like once a week or so.
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 7 months ago
60% of the group get less than 300 80% get less than 500
5000 is probably a very very small percent, and probably kids that have a shit load of followers.

Holy shit man. That sounds so stressful
