      So many people are missing the point. You sign up to KRplus and choose to get push notifications from entertainers you don't want to miss. It's like a reminder on your DVR.
      Its not bombarding your phone with trivial nonsense that you really don't need to know, usually with some baity AF title to try garner clicks, from a "reputable" news source. If Sky News sends me one more notification about Prince Harry deciding not to spend tax payers money anymore like the rest of his useless sponging family - I will donkey punch Rupert Murdouch and everyone he loves.

      You mistake developers with management. I'm a developer myself (not currently working for mobile apps) and I agree that push notifications shouldn't be so accessible as they are. Android could easily fix this and punish abusers. Apple will never change unless there's a law they've been sued over already.
      And just think for every sensible person turning notifications off or limiting them per app, there's a million who don't.
      Easiest way to get rid of it is to keep pressing the pop-up, it'll show you the settings for the specific app.

      Ironically, the push notifications games put out, as inane and annoying as they are, DO in fact meet the two criteria he set for something being a valid push notification.
      ... Kinda.
      Still annoying as hell though.
      Still, it beats the notification system that older versions of windows have.
      Why am I getting a popup notification for random nonsense?
      One that actually forces me to stop doing what I'm doing and close the message, otherwise my whole computer is unusable?
      Yeah...
      Worst one was in the days of dial-up when programs would incessantly complain about not being able to connect to the internet...

    Phone calls (not robocalls) are so rare they have become emotional relationship currency

      I would argue that robocalls have done more to kill the phone call as a concept than anything else. No one in the Gen X, Millennial and Zoomer generations will ever own a landline, for one thing, because they are just a vehicle for robocalls. And everyone these days has their phone on Do Not Disturb all the time, because who wants to hear the phone ring for robocalls? Not I, said literally every person who knows how to turn off a phone.
