What’s wrong with prioritized emails? Of course they prefer to send you push notifications via app because it is an additional (and someway less filtered) channel.
Once also push notifications will get the same spam inbox filtering system (which iOS already has) then we will all scream for the next channel to be filled of spam (retina displayed popups?)
- josho 4y agoA push is potentially a better experience. You could long press the push notification and the app could increase its bid by 10%. You can't do things like that through email. To your point, maybe we should innovate on email and add these capabilities to email, instead of building apple/android specific push solutions. I'd love to see that, but we don't live in that world.
