they’ve said multiple times that they require email as a way to combat against their work being scrapped by bots and getting published elsewhere. They are a small team doing great work they need money to keep running. I don’t see what the issue is.

That’s true, I guess it does depend on your situation. 99% of the time for me I don’t need to be reach immediately.

I have one phone that I check every now and then to see if I missed anything. If anyone needs to reach me I’ll see it when I see it and get back to them if it actually is important. Work doesnt need me if I’m off the clock. Also have notifications off on every app except my bank (and texts and calls) I have never feel more calm. Everything wants your attention these days

my phone has been on do not disturb since 2016
