I actually hate notifications and turn them off on just about every app that has them. They are attention grabbers that often take me away from other important tasks at hand.
This is one of the motivating factors behind Prsnly. I know many people, myself included that turn off push notifications (or don't enable them) where possible. I'm trying to see if a notification-less system will help make more meaningful experiences take place. I want people to take their time back and get back to the real world.
edit: question: Does having your notifications turned off make you feel better when you discover content or interact with an app that otherwise would have pushed a notification?
