If push notifications could detect when you are ignoring them on purpose, they should probably learn to get quieter over time.
We could measure intentional ignoring by tracking swipe-aways, muted alerts, and repeated dismissals, treating them like behavioral signals rather than simple disengagement. Notification logs would show patterns similar to drop-off heatmaps, revealing when users consistently ignore certain apps or times of day. From that, systems could adjust frequency, soften tone, or batch messages so they feel less intrusive and more relevant.
