People using Meta's products are masochists.
"Yes, daddy, please violate my privacy even more and manipulate me into hating myself and making me addicted to your shit."
My government and employers would not move away from WhatsApp, so, short of lobbying, I am forced to remain.
Well most people dont have any other option since 100% of your friends and families are exclusively on WhatsApp , whatsapp had early mover advantage it was free and easy to use so now everyone just uses it
so did my-space
If your friends can not be arsed to install an app on their phone for you, I got some bad news.
Actually it's not just friends ( we did shifted to telegram a while back ) most people where I am from use WhatsApp grand parents to grand parents to even some college official group ( yeah Ik )
