I think reddit is even worse. A fake facebook notification is at least still a notification.
But official reddit app and website in other hand, generate notification badge WITHOUT NOTIFICATION. What did you even expect me to do about that? It's just dumb-ass.
In the end, I just wrote a userscript to remove notification badge of reddit web page, given how useless and distractive it is.
- Rimintil 4y agoI’ve never seen this with old reddit nor 3rd party clients (which beyond possibly costing a nominal fee, I don’t know why you wouldn’t use sans some minor features like polls).
- mmis1000 4y agoI do use 3rd reddit client on phone.(the fake badge is literally the reason I installed it) But I still use the new reddit page on browser because reddit I visit commonly are mostly media-rich. Which is the old reddit not useful for.
- radlad 4y agoOh my issue with reddit.com is similar but different: I'll get a notification badge, tap it, see "Messages (1)", tap that, and then get "there doesn't seem to be anything here" under the Unread tab. Once I switch to "Inbox" I can see the new message. Of course, if it's a long thread I have to find the bottom of it first.
- dotancohen 4y agoSo you're clicking around, raking up page views, looking for the message? Seems like page views is the metric that misfeature was designed to improve.
- mmis1000 4y agoI have a high confident that the badge is fake because I already used ublock to ban[1] the update socket of reddit webpage, there is no way I can actually get a notification without reload the page.
