Push notifications should only be for transactional notifications. I don't want another inbox for junk.

>discovery
I can’t think of a single app I want a “Discover” tab on anymore. The moment you include one is the moment there is someone trying to game it. I definitely don’t want push notifications trying to show me something new. I’m hardly lacking in distractions
(Yes I am sure somebody can give me an example of a good use of Discover but you get my point)

You think there might be some sort of interaction between both facets there?
How is bad summarisation good for a user, for example?

Not upset, but increasingly concerned that all channels are being intermediated by big tech.

#9I wish apple/google would implement better notification control - like the ability to turn off all marketing notifications, and a much better digest format

#10> For most of the channel's history they did very little of it visibly. The architecture was permissive of intervention; they simply chose not to intervene much. That restraint is what ended.
I guess it wasn't always visible, but they were intervening in some for or another since the beginning. At WhatsApp, push delay/suppression/coalescing was something we were always monitoring, and IIRC, it was part of the system since at least when I joined in 2011. If you don't work within the system, your users' messages don't get delivered timely.
