Fuck off, NYT, this is not even vaguely close to notification-level "breaking news". Strike one.

The only news app I allow to send me notifications is Apple News, but even then, it’s silent and in the background.

I canceled my subscription the day after the election.

Seriously. It’s become so annoying. Not every single pick deserves a push notification.

All news is "breaking news" at some point in the lifecycle of a news story. The term is meaningless. Winds me up how media orgs use it to mean "interruption worthy" when it rarely is. If you wouldn't interrupt a TV schedule for it then no need to send an alert to my phone!

Just thought the same… WTF… is everything the 🍊 💩 going to do “breaking…”. When his people come in to close down the NYT you can call it breaking.
