Yeah honestly I just scroll right past them. I use telegram for my "Can you pick up some bananas on the way home?" messages. If I ever had a confidential tip for some investigative journalist I'd use signal. But it gets annoying if every post with the word "telegram" in the title gets the same "But signal is more secure!" response unrelated to the content of the article.

If you only use Signal for sensitive stuff, you leak extremely valuable metadata about when you discuss sensitive stuff. When you use Signal for everything, it's harder to tell if you asked for bananas or for a revolution ;)

Doesn't Signal give out your phone number to whoever you message?

Both sender and recipient need to have each other in contacts to message one another.
