Obviously they risk losing views and ad revenue, there's absolutely no "risk" to the public.
Personally I have all phone notifications off. There are a few I might like, but every single app abuses the privilege.
- the_plus_one 1y agoWe are similar. The only time my phone makes any noise whatsoever is if I get a phone call from someone in my contacts or a Slack ping during work hours. Everything else can wait.
- soco 1y agoNot even "contacts", but the 5 favorite contacts (and even that's only vibration). Even the work app stays on silent - if I'm working I'm around anyway so I won't miss it by much, and if it's outside hours I don't even know those folks.
- duxup 1y agoYup, my priority contacts are the only people who get through to make my phone do things audibly. Notifications beyond that is very limited.
- UtopiaPunk 1y agoI know, right? I can't imagine wanting to receive any kind of alert from a news app. If there's a real emergency, like an earthquake or tsunami warning, I believe there are alternative systems in place that will send out a special alert to phones in the area (and ideally really loud sirens outside). I'll read or listen to the news when it makes sense in my day to do so. I very much do not want to be interrupted because a national level politician did something. If it was important, it will still be important in a few hours when I go over the news.
