It doesn't matter what you or I want if people are on WhatsApp, and you want to talk to them, you have to use it.
You can always use SMS or email, every user has access to one of those services, they just aren't as quick or convenient as data mining shit-apps.
Yeah because that's not at all important in communicating with the general population
Problem is people expect a much richer media experience than SMS.
It would be really weird to SMS some to say oh check your emails I sent you a cool meme.
