tnperron on Nostr: I need someone to explain to me why anyone uses WhatsApp when literally anything else ...
I need someone to explain to me why anyone uses WhatsApp when literally anything else exists. I’ve heard “because someone I needed to communicate with uses it”, but why did •they• start using it? Who was the first user who started this snowball of doom? Messenger I get, if you’re on FB already it’s a no-brainer for normies. But WhatsApp is its own thing though? So whyyyyy?…
