There’s also web push. You can send push notifications straight to someone’s browser, no need for a dedicated app anymore. Not sure if patreon has implemented this, but they could if they wanted to.
Then why do they want app notifications ? It’s even worse than email, all those red squares with numbers and sounds drive me insane, and i can not keep a particular piece of content with me for later re-reading (like i can archive an email). If people just unsubscribe from emails they do not want to receive, and spam those that keep invading, the mail box will be functional in no time, and people can also just create a 2nd email and download a 2nd email app for hobbys and news (several have a gmail and a hotmail at least).
You’d have to ask them. In my opinion, app notifications are ephemeral. I can dismiss them and I don’t care. While emails should be important. I don’t want to soft through a bunch of useless junk when I’m looking for important stuff like bank statements or whatever.
you can just create different emails for different uses bro. I keep a official email for important stuff, and several emails for newsletters and others (which i don’t care to look through, its just a magazine).
Notifications of new content are nice.
There’s this ancient standard called email

RSS is better suited for this.
Email 🤮
Bad enough I have to use that shit at work, I’m not using it unless I absolutely have to.
As if anyone doesn’t immediately unsubscribe from email notifications or totally ignore them.

While that’s true, and not a bad idea, I’m not gonna check an email for notifications on who replied to posts and stuff like that.
