‘It’s the digital equivalent of having your cousin's boyfriend post 14 pictures of their new bike through your letterbox’

Do you have a family group chat? And are you the type of person who responds to every post in order to be the social glue of the family? Or have you muted the group because you couldn’t stand all of the notifications anymore?
