   push notifications are the burning fossil fuels of UI.

     @zens Push notifications are kind of interesting from a "digital well-being" point of view...

     They can be used to reduce people's addictions to our apps, saving them the temptation to open the app to check for updates. Or they can be used to worsen it, encouraging people to open the app constantly to view the updates it keeps telling us about! Whilst burrying those notifications which actually do matter.

     Capitalist greed tends to lead to the latter...
