The funny thing is this article talks about kids. My Mom is in her 70s and I maintain her phone and she currently uses a pixel 6, so it's the latest os of course. Whenever I see her, I have to declutter her notifications. They're constant. Apps and websites have gotten more noisy and aggressive in prompting users to enable notifications or sending constant push crap and I don't think most people know how to disable them while retaining what they're actually wanting to get.
