  what scenario are you imagining where any of meta's product offerings are useful to me?

  I always thought Facebook was useful to me. Until one day I decided to stop. A week later I deleted my account.
  Turns out Facebook wasn’t useful to me.
  And I can’t see a future where it will be.

  WhatsApp is currently useful to me.
  And considering EUs current ruling, I imagine there will be WhatsApp compatible apps soon. Besides, if meta leaves the EU, everyone will move to telegram or signal or whatever.

  So no, I don’t think it will be useful to me one day. And I’d be quite happy to see it go

    While WhatsApp is certainly useful, there are better alternatives, and a pullout would lead to bigger adoption of those. I think WhatsApp has its user base mainly because of inertia.

    All hypothetical, I don’t think Meta is gonna give up the EU market any time soon.
