5,000 daily is 3.47 per minute for 24/7. Insane?

That's about 4990 more than I do.

I've disabled almost all of them. Even the ones I do get only appear as an icon on my notification bar. I don't even have lockscreen notifications anymore. I find it too invasive, and feel like the device is demanding my attention.

5000 notifications per day? That's over 3 notifications per minute.

Are they opting in to get a notification every time someone in a thousand+ member discord server posts anything at all?

5000 per day?! That's insane. I feel like I get bombarded with notifications, so I checked how many I got today. Exactly 69.

No one likes facebook anymore. It’s been junk for over a decade.

WTF? Why do people like getting notifications at all? Every time I get one on my phone that is not important I am just full of anger because it is distracting me from getting stuff done.

5000? I get annoyed just from one from an app I forgot I had installed.

I don't have kids yet but things like these make me wonder how a parent would deal with the kids having a smartphone. If you don't get them one they're going to feel left out as you can be sure as hell that most other kids have one. I'm no psychologist but to me if you buy your kid a smartphone then you basically risk having him/her destroy his/her brain cells and attention span with Tiktok and Snapchat. When I was a kid I did have a cellphone, and I had a PC too, but our house back then didn't have internet and receiving thousands of notifications in a single day was definitely unheard of back then.

I'd go insane if I got 5k notifications in a day

5k notifications are 99th percentile. Probably the media is around 100-200 and average should be lower.

I'm almost 40 and I officially don't like Facebook. Why anyone still uses it is beyond me, it's just don't a good experience anymore.

Tbf though, I've backed off most social platforms.

Meanwhile I’m here with 2 notifications a day that are @everyone tags or group notifications.

Kids have not liked facebook in ages

I think you can just say “everyone officially dislikes Facebook.”

I turn off almost all notifications. I only allow messaging apps, and system notifications. Even then I find it too much to be honest.

Totally unrealistic. "Some teens" are the addicts that would have watched TV 16 hours per day if they were born 20 years before, young guys know how to manage notifications and most of them just don't care about them

How? I hate getting any notification unless it's a text or phone call.

I'm 36, certified old to a teenager, and I think Facebook is the lamest of them all. They're all pretty toxic (even Lemmy can be, definitely reddit) but Facebook is easily top 3.

5000/day doesn't sound realistic, c'mon kids are addicted but it's not >5k per day. That's like one every ten seconds for your waking hours

Two hours a day? Rookie numbers...

Apps are designed for maximum engagement. I don't know if my experience is unique but I turned off all notifications in Twitter's settings, yet it still shows exactly one notification when I launch the app. Kinda creepy how blatantly they ignore your wishes to not get spammed.

5000 seems like way too much. That's roughly 1 every 15-20 seconds, including at night.

I would be interested to see what percentage of those are actual real interactions (e.g. DMs), which are general interactions (e.g. "XYZ liked your post") and which are marketing CTAs.

Mostly because they don't actually know how to disable notifications

5000? lrn2 opt out. I'm always turning off notifications I don't care about. most. most apps overdo notifications and need to be silenced as a minimum. having my phone constantly doinking gets old pretty fast
