Speak for YOURSELF. I like knowing when my security cameras at my house detect motion INSTANTLY. I like knowing when a delivery is left on my front porch instantly.
I like knowing when my garage door is opened. I like knowing when my front door is opened. I like knowing when my real estate agent has a offer on one of my properties INSTANTLY via email.
Heck....although I don't gamble (I have a few friends that do),try betting 2500.00 on a baseball game. Those MLB at bat updates will seem like the most important thing in your life for 9 innings if you're unable to watch it live.
I like knowing when my nieces babysitter texts me.I like knowing when there's the slightest activity on my credit report. Same with my credit card too. I could go on and on.....
My point is,although notifications are not important to YOU don't assume they aren't to others. If it's not for you,then don't bother..... But for some,they may be important to them.
