I love custom notification sounds. My ringtone and message sound is made by me. It started back in 2005 and stayed til around 2021. Now my phone is on silent. Most apps have notifications disabled manually. I got a smartwatch and only let it show notifications that I actually care about. Phone stays in DND forever.

I just cant understand how people live with notifs on for everything. Fake notifs from insta, fake notifs from whatsapp, fake notifs from email apps, youtube, any other app. By fake notifs I mean these notifications that are designed to prompt you to open an app. Suggestions, changes, invites, reminders. Fuck all of that. I want them to be useful, not trash stream of crap attention grabbers.

Notifications in general. Every app wants you to have them on and then they have the gawl to use that permission to send ads.

And you never know which one is going to do it or how but inevitably anything you give notification permissions to will send you bullshit.

Can't turn on Door Dash or Amazon Notifications because they'll find a way to leave their lane and send you span Notifications.

And I know, I can adjust settings but I'm tired of doing so. Especially when they will move or change those settings with an update. Hell my phone could update and shift things.

I tried dating apps recently and it was just a constant flow of bs Notifications.
