In my area first everyone dropped messenger because some people had no accounts and moved instead to Whatsapp that guarantee that if you had a phone you could have easily an account in a matter of seconds (download and install) without having to create a full profile on some site you could not care less ( at this point of time in my old account no one is writing anymore in his home but instead using it just as a news aggregator).
Then everyone moved to Telegram because it allows you to share your account to others without giving them your personal number.
It is just a matter of time and everyone will move to the most simple system for the specified purpose
- cube2222 8y agoI'm not denying that at all, we've moved on from telcos too. But it isn't a "just drop it" situation. It's a "gracefully transition when the social dynamics are in your favor" situation.
- yulaow 8y agoI agree with you on that
- s-shellfish 8y agoSocial dynamics being in your favor can work for you and against you. It's delusional to think that just because you can make that graceful transition that that doesn't mean people aren't going to get pissed off at it. All you've done is silence their perspective as you are making that graceful transition. That builds up over time, and this is why this stuff goes in circles. You have to actively listen to people and make an effort to understand that the social dynamics being in your favor is not something you control. It controls you. You are the head of the crowd therefore all your actions must be aligned with the interests of the social dynamic. If you silence any single one of them you create a different dynamic. So you have to make the effort to be aware of alternative perspectives instead of choosing blind ignorance in the face of valid arguments. That's just the business of politics.
