Why this one divides people
Almost everyone has a notification they mute on sight, but the winner depends on what you installed and forgot about. Marketing pings are the easy target: they arrive constantly, they never say anything you needed, and they arrive at dinner. Others argue the truly infuriating one is the small interruption you cannot escape - the pop-up asking you to rate something you used once, or a chat thread that lights up ninety times while you are driving. And a quiet minority insists nothing beats a phone announcing that it wants to restart right now. The answer says a lot about how full your home screen is.

In the game itself you always see a split, because a seeded baseline stands in until recorded answers outweigh it. That estimate is ours, so it is never published here as crowd data.
