Ummm, I've paid more for WhatsApp than I did for Signal. The money for signal kinda came (in a roudabout way) from the money I gave to WhatsApp.

      paying whatsapp doesn't pay for the signal service.

        No, I paid for WhatsApp (as did millions of other people), which is part of the reason it sold to Facebook for ~20B. Brian Acton then used that money to bankroll Signal, which unlike WhatsApp doesn't seem to have a clear path to profitability in the long term.
