10 days agoFrom my perspective it’s a place where things collect so I know if there’s a reason to open an app. I don’t bounce in and out of apps or check things at all unless there’s a notification.
I leave my phone on silent at all times so when I do look at it I check the notification area, but not all the different things that might put a notification in there.
Also I disable notifications for most things that would spam me.
I’m pretty sure in a few cases at least it’s because academics don’t consider eye health and stare at things way to close for way too long for days, weeks, months on end which damages their vision
