For me, the fact that WhatsApp wasn't free was a plus.
"Hey, maybe for once I am not the product".
How naive of me.
- signal11 6y agoTo clarify, the fact that WhatsApp wasn’t free (but very cheap) was a positive in my mind as well. I didn’t intend “not free” in my comment above to be derisory. Also, to add some nuance: WhatsApp wasn’t free (ie it was a subscription based app) mainly in US / Western Europe IIRC; but was in fact free, as in no subscription charges, in some lower-income country app stores, eg India.
