It sure took a long time and a lot of words to state the obvious. What I’d actually find interesting is an exploration of the conditions that led Facebook to its current state of notification hell, unable to see the obvious errors of its own ways for so long.
- johnny22 4y agoI'm no expert, but it doesn't hard to come up with a reason for that. I'm sure every team thinks that their notifications are the most important, and they are all trying to prove the worth of their own section. Put all that together and you end up with a lot. At that point it takes someone with both vision and decision making authority to say say.. nope.. They have to be specific about which ones are too much.
- baby 4y agoThis ^. Every team wants to grow their sub app and thinks they deserve a place in the notification bar. Now imagine that this is true as well to get access to whatsapp or instagram user base. I think whatsapp has really done a good job of not bloating the app and rejecting all these requests.
