I wonder how many $$$$$'s this cost Airbnb in lost revenue because lots of users have now blocked notifications?
I wouldn't have assumed people would react that harshly but one comment on that tweet said they just turned them off.

This will happen even more when Android 13 is released. There is an extra permission for having notifications shown for every app separately. I know for sure I will disable notifications for pretty much every app except email and messengers.
Making it a permission just makes it default -off rather than default -on

A 2 AM (CT US) notification is bound to have bothered a good amount of people that didn't have Do Not Disturb turned on.
In general, I found vibration-only to be pretty much the default for a lot of people I know (though I am sharply aware that this is just anecdata and doesn't say much about the real state of things). I tried googling whether there was some breakdown of notification vibration vs sound smartphone users, but, sadly, couldn't find much.
