People want to, and choose to, broadcast what they are doing and who they are doing it with. This shouldn't be news to people. Why do people have public Instagram and Twitter accounts? Some will see no appeal and are turned off by the thought of this, but for others it's their way of life. So instead of criticizing the app, maybe what you really want to do is criticize the people using the app? Lastly, clicking "private" on a post is dead simple; the company shouldn't be forced to change the default setting that differentiates them because somebody can't figure that out. Come on.
- debaserab2 8y agoPeople make Instagram and Twitter accounts for the very purpose of sharing things socially. I don't know of anyone who uses Venmo specifically because they want to post their monetary transactions publicly. The fraction of my friends that still have their post visibility set to public either are unaware, or have a laissez-faire attitude about it. None of them "want to broadcast" their monetary transactions. We all use venmo because it has ubiquity in our friend groups/social networks.
