Kind of ironic to make this sort of calculation only to post it on medium, where it can't be read until a pop-up nag is closed. I wonder how much agony I accumulate in a year of accidentally clicking medium links.
- untog 9y agoIf you sign up for a Medium account you don't get any pop-ups. While I know many would object to it, if you're looking at it purely in terms of agony per year, it's an easy decision.

- scoot 9y agoI’m trying to fathom how many times you would have to hit back and how many notifications you would have to revive for those two events to coincide precise three times a day. It seems to me that if that’s genuinely the case, the problem is with the number and type of notifications received, which iOS gives tools to manage on an app by app basis.
