notification fatigue is (AKA alarm fatigue, alarm saturation, or needy technology) when a person receives so many notifications that they are no longer helpful, and interrupt actual work so much that the person gets tired of them and starts ignoring them.
Receiving too many notifications makes people not want to use a client:
- E.g.: 2014-10-03 https://twitter.com/freebsdgirl/status/518146125036290048
Once again, not checking notifications. Using web, not client. Too many notifications. Will check later.

- "Everybody is. I'm strongly of the opinion that all this 'needy tech' is a net negative and I try hard to keep it out of my life. But some of it, mostly associated with my kids schooling, is very hard to avoid. 10 emails per week about some school portal with 'an important message' (which you need to separately logged into, of course the message is so important that it can't be entrusted to mere email, even though the account recovery does use that same email) that ends up being nonsense but you're not able to block it because one day an actually important message might show up.
Tech should serve us, but meanwhile instead of having terminals to the internet we are now the terminals to the internet. Push notifications and all manner of intrusive interaction have become the norm, not the exception that they should be." @jacquesm October 1, 2023
