 i am not a client developer

as you will see if you ask some people also that the "update notification" pattern is an attention funnel and considered to be a dark pattern

 i don't mean a visual one that you have to go look at, i mean a desktop notification or such

these are useful for things like calendars and inbound voice calls but for anything else just wind up being a total time waster

 i agree with the idea to make likes a scarce resource, otherwise it's a very cheap signal

 Yeah. I have not thought too much about this.
