I clear them during the day but by 11pm there's always a fresh batch. It's a losing battle but I try.

Clear every single one. There's something deeply wrong with letting them pile up.

My email has 47,000 unread messages and I'm fine. My Slack is a graveyard. This is just who I am.

I used to be team zero but honestly it's exhausting. Now I just ignore them and feel slightly guilty about it.

Thousands? Millions? Who's counting. They're just notifications, not life or death.

Zero dots or bust. Unread badges give me actual anxiety. I check my phone like five times before bed just to see that satisfying clear state.
