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

    Most people (not just teenagers) just don’t care. One of my favourite things to do when I’m visiting my parents is to open their phones and click on the clear all notifications button. Watching all those notifications slide away is so satisfying.
