Good riddance! Just like Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, Viber, Signal, Telegram or whatever else "chat" app we use these days. The only real benefit they provide is chatting with relatives or old friends halfway across the world. For everything else, face-to-face or voice interaction is much better and more meaningful (heck, even for long-distance I still prefer video).
- ojbyrne 5y agoThis seems a bit…reductive. Billions of people use chat, some significant fraction for decades. It’s nice to hear one person’s opinion, but the “truth on the ground” doesn’t bear you out.
- dinvlad 5y agoThat's just my opinion, of course - I'm not generalizing here. But the fact that folks use them doesn't mean they are "useful", just that they're addictive.
- skinnymuch 5y agoYou have to use apps to do video too. And chat to communicate when to do audio or video.
