If your application/website asks me to enable desktop notifications without my specific request for such a feature, or without explaining that this will become another spam source, I will blacklist it and never come back. On my phone, if an app causes spammy notifications, I uninstall it. Apps and websites can't spam without my permission, and I'm not about to start letting them.
This might be nice for you as a marketer, but as a user, I want nothing to do with it.
- millisecond 12y agoThe opt-out controls are built into the web push system, which should keep the channel relatively clean. If marketers are abusing it, users will very quickly deny their future pushes (after the fact, Safari -> Preferences -> Notifications). If email had such a built-in opt-out feature, I doubt spam would be what it is today. Beyond that, we're definitely aware that there needs to be a steward of the channel. If people abuse it, we lose. There are things that can be done with throttling that we hope to implement soon. Hasn't been necessary to this point.
