Gear Updates are Annoying

Hey, I recently registered into the website, and faced an annoying thing. I followed some artists that I appreciate, and then added tons of gears. But every time I add a gear for an artist I follow, I get an email saying "Yooo, this artist got its gear updated on the website, go check it out", and my brain is like "Ohh nice, other people are interested into this artist, I'll see who it is, and what are these new gears, I'm super excited to see what's new", and bam, it's just me who referenced Ableton 8 hours ago...

GEAR:
  • Codanova VMX V64
  • Ableton Push
  • Korg microKONTROL

Yeah, I gotta say I went through the same thing the first year I was on this site.

The site sort of trains you to ignore its "new gear added", emails if you're posting regularly, because there's a good chance they're just notifying you of your own activity.

GEAR:
  • Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer
  • Roland SH-101
  • Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer
