  It isn’t even a decade old… anyway, it got market share for a reason. It was immediately a big step up from other free offerings in ease of use, UI, and eventually in features too.

  From a functional perspective it’s fantastic but it doesn’t make up for the incessant ads (even if you pay) and the lack of any privacy whatsoever.

      I don’t even remember exactly what they were for, but yes, that’s one of them.

  Same boat as many Gapps like Google Maps. No large market competitor to show users how much better it can be.

  clearly people like it

  It’s the network effect that people like, just like every other social platform before it.

  The UI/UX has always been absolutely atrocious.

    I HATE the UI. It was made for iPad babies.

    It is the LEAST intuitive UI of any popular app I’ve ever seen. I was recently trying to join a channel from a website that required a code to input, and absolutely couldn’t get it to work.

    Yess, thank you. Ugly, slow, frustrating. And pay to make it bearable…

      Hold on, I’ve got 6 updates since you opened me an hour ago.

      You can wait right?
