Almost everyone active Steemit user would agree with the fact that the lack of a regular notification on Steemit can be frustrating. This is actually true for the following reasons:
KEEPING TRACK OF THOSE YOU FOLLOW:
When you get notifications of posts from those you follow you can understand their time frame, when they are active on Steemit and what kind of content is synonymous to each specific individuals.
You can watch your followers grow and monitor their posts as well as assist them to create good content, as well as support their post on time to enable them to earn more (curation).
KEEP TRACK OF COMMENTS ON YOUR POSTS WHEN YOU'RE ON THE MOVE:
I am not sure if I am the only one who wants to keep track of response and upvotes on my comments and posts. However, receiving notifications about such activities would enormously improve our steeming and interpersonal interactions. For example, receiving notifications about every upvote lets you know how bad or good your post is doing in terms of the attention it's getting with respect to the tags you have applied and other factors such as high activity time frames on Steemit.
KEEPING TRACK OF YOUR AUDIENCE AND POST SUPPORTERS:
You can also access what posts best appeals to your followers as well as identify those who regularly support your post so that you can reciprocate the support(Whether they are Whales or Minnows).
Finally, Steemians should have access to individually turn off notifications on their profiles. this will ensure that you can receive notification alerts only when you feel like it won't irritate or interrupt you.
These are my personal opinions I would like to hear yours. KENLY LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR OPINIONS TOOD
