        A lot of people installed this shit. Because they’re visiting fuckmybeaniebabies.net and a popup is like “Install our spam bar for a chance to win herpes!” And they happily click ok.

          A lot of people still do that, but it’s “Do you want your phone/computer to constantly nag you with browser notifications about our spam?” and they click “Yes!”

            Ugh. Yeah, my mom intentionally allows push notifications from Amazon, Temu, tons of fast food chains, and a bunch of other sources on her phone. It goes off like every thirty seconds.

            I don’t get push notifications unless it’s a text or a 2FA email. And for that matter, I don’t understand how people get so many emails or, if they start to, why they don’t unsubscribe from or block all the spam. I get an average of maybe 3 emails a week on my personal accounts.

    I feel like some of the old cluttered WoW UIs might be an example of maximalism, by trying to show as much information as possible. altr

        The standards we used to put up with…

        Back when games were measured by how enjoyable they were rather than a little number in the corner.
