Kids and teens are inundated with phone prompts day and night - eviltoast

A Common Sense Media report finds about half of 11- to 17-year-olds get at least 237 notifications a day. Some get nearly 5,000 in 24 hours. What does that do to their brains?

    Yea I dont get it, just do it a little bit at a time.

    Whenever I get a notification that’s annoying (ex. Remember to play this game!!), I’ll long press and turn them off. Sometimes it’s important but not sound/vibration important, so I’ll just turn them silent.

    Now the only notifications I get are things that I actually need.
