Correct. And despite this, many of my friends refused to pay the $1/£1/1€ on the basis that facebook messenger was free, as was SMS in their cell plans.

So I paid for them. Despite them all earning real money in real jobs.

Then Facebook bought WhatsApp, and now none of them are willing to move to Signal, because they like WhatsApp.

I did something else: I don't have WA or messenger. If anyone wants to text me they should use Signal or SMS or e-mail.
