How do frequency best practices prevent fatigue filtering?

Frequency best practices prevent fatigue filtering where providers deprioritize or filter senders who overwhelm recipients. When users consistently ignore or delete messages from frequent senders, providers learn to filter preemptively.

Matching frequency to engagement prevents fatigue. Highly engaged subscribers tolerate more frequent communication. Less engaged subscribers need less frequency. Dynamic frequency adjustment based on engagement prevents treating all subscribers identically.

Preference respect also prevents fatigue. When subscribers choose their frequency, they receive what they asked for. Honoring these choices prevents the frustration that leads to complaints and the disengagement that triggers fatigue filtering.
