I guess mining our private data isn't enough for them anymore.
What is the use of your private data?
Data is useless if it can't be used to make money.

Lazy and ungrateful people everywhere. Like u people are paying for the service u r enjoying. If u don't like it, don't use it and move on to another platform. Same way some people have been crying that YouTube advert is too much.
If they don't do advert, how do u expect them to balance their running costs.
U will just come online and be shouting mining data. Which data u get wey person wan mine. Rubbish up and down. smiley
guy, easy.

you're correct to some extent.

the privacy of your information should be held in confidence- however little or insignificant it may seem to anyone else.

any excuse is bs.

I don't know why we use WhatsApp. It is the most redundant messaging app out there. Lack features that other apps have. Try viber and see.

I don't watch people's status as I have them mute. Good for them.
it's the power of numbers, power of branding and power of leverage.

and it's true, whatsapp is so poorly designed, I used to pull my hair out.

now, I just sigh and move on.

Many people thought Status won't make sense on WhatsApp, guess what? Many people use it to advertise their products while some people are a nuisance on it. But last last, everybody has gotten used to it. Same thing would happen to with he Ads.
how can one learn website designing so I can create ads. I think site owner really fetch good money from it?

I think it has to do with the fact that our tech prowess is really shabby and we aren't sophisticated, mostly luddites, whatsapp somehow came preinstalled with the first set of cheap android phones like Techno, we stuck to it and we think that is the best.

That should be his goal as a businessman. At least he has a product that is genuinely fetching in the money. Not like the so called "political rich men" in Nigeria without any verifiable means of income.

Well that's coming from a capitalist sympathiser.
Are you aware this company (Facebook) is illegally mining people's data?.
If you know you won't claim that legitimacy for him.
Capitalism has done nothing except creating a class for the rich and the poor.

more data draining added to its features again.
I know whatsapp ads will be compulsory except you pay for premium.
This was the reason the original owners left some months ago because it was against the contract signed.

Telegram security - far better than whatsapp
you don't need to give out your personal number to add some on telegram (username solves it), that's what I loved about BBM then.
Sending larger files + telegram acts like a cloud system you save chats, links, apps, files in your telegram (cloud) and download anytime / device you like later

I shock when I see 1.2gb porn video for one group for telegram.. as a Nigerian , I no click am ..
