Is it just me or does Clubhouse totally abuse notifications? I turned it on and it spammed me non-stop for rooms that were nowhere near my interests. I had to deactivate, which made the app pretty pointless because I'm not aware of interesting rooms until afterwards. I wish you could tell apps "give me no more than 5 notifications a day, but those better be damn good notifications".

Also the front page of Clubhouse is just utter nonsense. So much influencer/entrepreneur-bro/bullshit. What I like about something like reddit is that while the default front page is quite trashy, you can curate it with subreddits to get a better experience. Clubhouse, probably due to lack of content, just gives you a mound of trash and expects you to pick out the good bits.

Yes - I had to disable them, but then of course I don't know when people I like and follow (comedians, politicians, etc) are engaging in interesting discourse.

I ended up turning them back on but I still get a lot of them even though I've changed the setting they provide to "less frequent".

They are aggressive. For each person you follow, you get notifications "Sometimes" when they are on stage. In practice, it seems like "Almost Always".
