Some apps are de-facto unavoidable, like Facebook, Whatsapp and X.
- Hamuko 1y agoThe only one of those on my phone is X and it's definitely avoidable.
- q3k 1y agoI have, in fact, none of these on my phone.
- Zak 1y agoThat seems like a bit of a stretch. Whatsapp is probably the hardest to avoid for most people in parts of the world where it's dominant. The number of people who need to use Facebook or Twitter is likely much smaller, and very few of those need to install a native app instead of using the website.
- close04 1y agoThey absolutely are not. No more than alcohol or tobacco addiction are de-facto unavoidable. And the people who are absolutely addicted to those platforms will always have the option of the web page no matter what you do to the app.
- soraminazuki 1y agoAh yes, like "alcohol or tobacco," communicating with people is an addiction that must be stopped. Participating in society is a choice. /s
- skinnymuch 1y agoWhatsApp is used to talk to people across the world. It’s not like tobacco at all. If I got off WhatsApp which I use for like 10 minutes a week, I’d have a harder time communicating with a handful of people outside the US
- skinnymuch 1y agoTwitter is incredibly avoidable. Everything about it is likely faked and exaggerated. Revenue/profit for sure. Number of users for sure. Number of users that aren’t bots for sure too. I use Twitter everyday because of my politics interest but it isn’t that popular any more (I know the supposed numbers say otherwise)
