    How dare they advertise without giving WhatsApp (aka Facebook) a cut of the profits!

      Unsolicited messages and scam texts are the lowest of the low. I wouldn’t even put this in the same ballpark as advertising.

        I enjoy them, I use them as rage therapy and focus all my hate on to them, they wont report my account because they know they’d check their message history and see them shilling.

        It’s just a different flavour of the same shit.

        These days I have to create a spam filter for my phone notifications, let alone emails.

      What does that you wrote have to do with the article posted here?

        WhatsApp is owned by Facebook and you can pay them for corporate accounts and advertising.

            Maybe you’re missing the connection here.

            Facebook is implementing features to prevent some types of advertising, as per the article.

            Facebook allows the purchase of the exact same advertising, so long as you pay their fee.

              Hrm… I’m tempted to just cite the exact same line for a third time.

              That connection you mention would be sensible, yeah. If that were what is happening. Which as per the article, it is not. There’s even screenshots of the setup pages.

                Well I tried to show you what’s happening, I’m sorry you’re not seeing it, but I’m done. Have a nice day.

                  🤷

                  I mean sure, but you could have just said you never read the article. No need to get snippy about it.
