I mean then they’d just have pop ups that told you how to turn on notifications and make it seem like you have to to continue… wouldn’t be as successful but it would still suck.
- solarkraft 4y agoIt would at least be harder. It's a lot easier to sell "click ok to make the pop-up go away" than "go into the overflow menu, then click 'subscribe to notifications'". Since users tend to choose the path with the lowest friction, they'll probably prefer to find a way to close a pop-up. The instructions also make it very clear what the user would sign up for. Bonus: Don't even let the web app know whether the user has subscribed to make it impossible to force.
