@eatsleepwatch you cant. We've always been getting these notifs when ppl we follow posted, it was just through e mail. Now its through the notification box. I think the only way to not notify people is to not click the "notify my followers" check box when posting.
@eatsleepwatch for real though. I was in class trying to read my wattpad stories after doing my work and my notifications button just kept blinking in my face.
