Smarter notifications batching

Right now, even with the few creators I follow, notifications are really piling up in my inbox, and its becoming a pain already:

It may be sensible to introduce batching of notifications of certain kinds to avoid this. For example, if I already have received 1 notification today, then all subsequent messages are batched and sent as one email in a few hours, but then you could have excpetions, like if the notification are urgent, like actions relating to auction or other time sensitive stuff. So policy is something like: always send first notification to a given recipient right away if it has been more than X hours (e.g. X = 12 hours), otherwise put in recipient specific pool which is only sent out once it gets to a certain size Y or some number of hours Z have gone by since last notification was added.

It probably is wise to just start by looking up what some standard e-mail notification methodologies are, so we don't need to re-invent something 80% as good as something totally standard we could follow.

For some insane reason I got 199 emails in one go, I'm not subbed to that many channels, so this may be a literal bug, and if not UX is pretty rough.
