Smart phones are designed for people who refer to food as "fuel" and want the features to be their mothers. I hate it fervently. I want these tools to be clean and unobtrusive. How is this so hard.

Fecking notifications man. Just constant and for the most pointless stuff and everywhere you go they ask you if you want more notifications. Also, updates that randomly change the fine way something worked before.

Crush the notifications up into a powder and mainline them right into my balls I love them so much Please Google please please ask me if I want to review the Long John Silvers I just watched a homeless person take a shit in please google

What in particulars frustrating? Is it the notification override? All the unneccessary features?
-
It's that. It's that overrides reset with every update. It's worse re-dos of things that are already perfected. Most of all it's rubbing my eyes in new features I don't want and hiding features I need desperately. 90% of what I look at is a distraction from what Im trying to do

It feels like the design approach of these switched from “tool” (consistent, masterable, transparent) to “toy” (ever-changing, novelty driven, prominent) around 2012 when the market saturated. The new “Reminders” iOS app looks like the control panel of a nuclear reactor.

Your criticism is valid, and I’m not excusing the design, but a way to counter it is to force your way past the loss aversion/FOMO and just turn off MOST notifications. I mostly only have on direct messaging from humans and a few other opt ins.

Hi. I already fucking do all of that. I literally only allow phone calls and a texts from a few places. But the constant maintenance I have to do to KEEP being sure this is the case is insanely time consuming.

I think of it as “design philosophy that wants to take decisions for the user”

It's a much bigger problem than design/implementation, even business marketing. The proliferation of all this crap is designed to collect data that can be used to analyze & sell. With that as a baseline, you're always going to wind up with this junk.

Look at most webpages nowadays. Articles that are a few paragraphs, each separated by some ad or promoted content link. Most slow and barely functional b/c of the overloading and constant changing of images and video. All incredibly unnecessary and intrusive.
