I actually despise the new notifications so much. I literally am incapable of caring any less whats "trending" on YikYak, or how many "gems are in [my] Hot posts today!" If Im gonna get notifications, theyd better be because I got a reply or likes. These new notifications are just as bad as Facebook game invites. Its really made the app annoying for me, at best.
