My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

I don't have notification enabled on most of my apps. I will check on them when I want, but I hate seeing or hearing notifications because they are distracting me. If something is urgent, call me, otherwise it can wait.

I only have it enabled for social apps when someone actually is talking to me, but I just don't understand why there are notifications for these recommendations or suggestions from some algorithm.

These notifications are there so you will spend more time scrolling through their app, so they will occupy more of your limited mental space and social interactions, and serve you more ads/harvest more data about you to sell to info brokers and advertisrs.
