Has anyone in the history of mankind ever clicked "yes" to a website enabling desktop notifications? I feel like browsers should just adopt an "automatically say no to this bs" setting.

Yes, for things I care(d) about (eg google mail/calendar, FB Messenger / WhatsApp web, etc).

The problem is I'm pretty any one of us has (at most) 2-3 sites we actually want notifications from, and dozens asking.

Maybe I'm odd, but even for stuff I use like gmail, desktop notifications have always been a hard no for me. But those examples at least make sense. It's absolutely baffling to me that anyone would allow it for something like CNN, or basically 99% of websites.
