WHY?!?
(yes, I know it is data mining, but still)
DM me on Spotify: Spotify launches a messaging feature.

You can connect to other people on Spotify?

That’s absolutely insane that there’s 3B+ people on Facebook. I honestly don’t believe that number is accurate at all.

I think it’s both. There are an unbelievable number of people on Facebook, and there are also a TON of bots and inauthentic users. Meta has every incentive to exaggerate their numbers and permit bad actors (at least up to the point that real users are driven away). Same goes for all corporate social media.

Everyone. Damn near everyone has a phone at this point, Facebook even handed them out to keep the user numbers growing at one point
People who live in dirt floor huts walk to churches or other gathering places to charge them. The cheapest smart phones are essentially worthless, so there’s no point stealing or selling them.
And cell service isn’t all that expensive to run, so it’s priced to what people will pay

The logos for Instagram and WhatsApp are interchanged.

Ugh, I hate when services stray from their original purpose and add random features. WhatsApp’s status thing isn’t so bad, but Spotify’s user messaging is just clutter. I just want to listen to music, you know? Maybe profiles for discovering new music are okay, but messaging? Nah, not needed. Keep it simple, music only.
