Not to sound as old or anachronistic but I kind of watch this stuff happening and wonder when all those useless bubbly conveniences are going to burst. Never had any account on facebook, twitter, instagram, viber, whatsapp etc. Last similar stuff i used was IRC and ICQ. Some Messenger and skype but i abandoned those long ago. Now I only use discord when I am gaming or wanna talk to a friend and I am sitting in my desk.

Mobile phones were a big step forward from plain old landline ones. But in terms of ease of communication this change was the last one with non-deminishing returns. Maybe smart phones also just for browsing HN when I wait in a queue or in the bus etc.

All those social networking and communication apps? Fcuk them.

I can perfectly communicate by calling or texting or video calling someone. What exactly is the added value of those apps?

If you are Spotify, it provided a seamless experience for millions of people to sign up for their service. Now they have a lockin problem, and need to figure out how to migrate those accounts to another authentication service.

And for Communication, you never use Slack? It's useful to segment your communications by type, I don't want to give random Tinder ladies my home phone number.

I don’t use tinder. I don’t use slack
