Why can’t old notifications be cleaned up automatically? Tobi writes about that on his Medium.
For me it is even worse — I see a lot of notifications that still get displayed although there is no content behind, like the Facebook Client which show me notifications for the Messenger of Messages I have already read.
Or Youtube that show me notifications for videos that I have long watched.
Or notifications that just point me to a new feature that I should learn about — no actual app content.
Notifications have turned into a major retention driver, losing their value to the human that they are displayed to.
