@reswright I can shed some light on a couple of the concerns you've surfaced.
Regarding the inconsistencies you're observing between number of people who've endorsed your content in your notifications and other locations... that's a bug. Slightly embarrassing, it'll be fixed soon.
Concerning why you may be missing some social content emails, as you pointed out, it's essentially to reduce spam. We established limits on how much of a certain messaging type we send out to users within a given time period, so it's true that an email may not get sent for every individual endorsement, mention, or reply you receive. Especially true for those of you that make popular content.
We're definitely not perfect and there's a lot of improvements to be made. Surfacing good content and making everything more accessible is surely one of those areas. We're all reading posts like these and taking in your feedback as we continue to develop the website and the community, so keep 'em coming.

JustinLai"so it's true that an email may not get sent for every individual endorsement, mention, or reply you receive."
This is a woeful understatement and I expect you must understand that it is so. I mean, thanks for speaking up, but why'd you bother? To suggest that this was a matter of people missing an email here and there? It isn't.
This is an issue of only occasionally getting the one out of many that your system would otherwise generate. I seem to get lots of sales email from Drop trying to sell me something, so I know you guys aren't really limiting all email -- you're just limiting community related email, and not even saying so until someone speaks up, which is distinctly sketchy behavior. Some people call that soft power, but no one calls it brave.
just reframing it: you have a menu that allows members to control what sort of messages they can get, and hence already have the means at hand to let people choose what’s spam to them and what they want to see. If it’s about bandwidth there are better options than simply not sending stuff w/o letting folks know otherwise.
I would counsel you to try and game your community a little less and embrace their behavior a little more. Don't suppress content and don't let 'bugs' linger that sure seem like they're underhanded features. If it gets so far that someone has to go to an outside source to document that it's still happening, nobody wins that one.

How do I stop renewal of keyboard club?
Hi there, I've been a member of the keyboard club for the past year, I'm afraid that in the next 24h the Keyboard Club will renew automatically. I have checked on my profile but couldn't find anywhere a way to stop it. Did i miss it ? Will it renew automatically ? TIA Mauringhio

Anybody know how much we have to pay in Europe when buying stuff from Drop?
I'd like to buy the Sennheiser 6xx but I have no idea how much is going to be after adding delivery and custom fees. Does anyone know? I live in Spain.

USB-C Port glitchy AF on my Drop SHIFT, arrrrgh help
As above, my keyboard routinely drops connection with my computer; I've tried three different computers, they're not the issue. It resolves itself after being "hard reset" (unplugged), but it's driving me insane because obviously it acts up more when I need it most. All drivers seem to be up to date, any thoughts? (I've also changed the cable, please ppl)

I miss Massdrop
Is it just me or was this place much better when it was Massdrop? Instead of expensive collaborations, it was all about finding good deals that got better with more participation. Anyone know if this place will ever revert to those times or if there are any other sites that might be doing what this site stopped doing?

Do products in the same order ship together if they have different shipping estimates?
I bought an order that consisted of products that were ready to ship on Feb 13 and March 29. Will they ship all together on March 29 or will they be split and the orders that are ready to ship earlier ship on Feb 13?
