OzBargain Overwhelm - Black Friday Strikes Again

bargain huntress on 02/12/2023 - 19:20

It happens every Black Friday. The notifications come too fast for me to keep up.

I currently have 1277 unread notifications.

        Nothing, that may be the problem.

          Same, I just manually read the site until I reached what I was up to from last time

    What are these 'notifications' of which you speak?

  • CodeXD on 02/12/2023 - 19:31

    Just mark it all as read and move on.

    Go to your subscription settings
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/-/subscriptions/domain

    and consider unsubscribing from stores that are generating notifications that you're no longer interested in.

    There are around 616 users subbed to Amazon but I think given the sheer volume of Amazon deal posts we get it's just not possible to keep track of (and read all) the deal notifications, you may as well just bookmark the Amazon store page and make it your daily routine to just scan through the page to see what deals you're interested in. Rather than having your phone buzz everytime amazon deal is posted.

    No idea how many I have, gmail puts them all into promotion/junk section which I never check.

    You must have a lot of subscriptions! I have 11 store subscriptions only (no user, category alerts). I find category subscriptions give too many notifications, i.e. the majority of deals by category I’m not interested even if I’m interested in that category.
