I was a loyal (and paying) WhatsApp user who would advocate it to anyone I could find. The combination of privacy, features, and ideology was exactly what I wanted in a communication app. Then Facebook bought them for $19B and I knew that, despite any allusions to the contrary, they would want that money back. And you don't get it $5/yr/user. I switched to Telegram and never looked back.
