But you can't turn it off. That's the issue.

Also, it shows things I didn’t miss. They must have tracking on this. Inexcusably lame.

One thing that infuriates me is when I don't get shown a Tweet from an account I follow, only to be notified that someone else 'liked' the tweet. Just show me the Tweet! I follow the account because I want to be kept up to date with it. Not be kept up to date with it when someone else I follow likes it!

I'm very lucky I can just leave Twitter for days/weeks on end. I know for some it's become a necessity.

I'm certain I'm somehow in a b-test where all my twitter push notifications are powered by a random number generator.

I have turned off notifications for most apps. It was just getting unbearable.
