MODERATORS
At the moment I get a new notification I decide if it's useful. If it isn't, the category gets turned off.
My bar for apps is also extremely high. I don't get the notifications if the app isn't installed.
I think that's the intended way to use notifications. If it is there sitting in your status bar it should be because you need to be reminded to do something about it.
Otherwise it's the equivalent of leaving your mail strewn on your dinner table permanently, junk mail and all.
I am starting to uninstall all apps that have websites anyways... not everything needs to be an app
