Facebook increased satisfaction and usage by sending fewer notifications
For years there has been a big red notification dot stuck on the FB video tab reminding me that I have some large number of shitty videos to watch. I have no idea how FB decides precisely how many shitty videos it is very important that I watch. It used to be in the 40s, now it's 15. I never clicked the tab once.<p>I actually tried to figure out how to get rid of this at some point, but it definitely wasn't a priority for FB to give me control over this.<p>I'll never forget the open contempt Meta has shown for me as a user of their products.
