Did some poking around in the code for notifications and noticed that this condition is never met in `widgets<U+2069>/notification-item.js.es6`. Running 2.3.8.

Doing a `console.log` of `data` object shows that `data.count` is usually `undefined` unless it’s a consolidated notification that one user likes more than one of your posts. Also `username2` is not defined in the `data` object.

Is this notification type being phased out?

Is this dead code @eviltrout?

I think this stuff happens if you have notify on every like enabled. (I use this on meta)

We are definitely sending out `username2` in some circumstances:

Thanks for responding @codinghorror @eviltrout. I realized this seems to have been refactored and is different in 2.4.2 now.
