If it will be, we will switch again as done with WhatsApp. What’s problem?

They have invested years giving it for free, now the ask the price (data) and users go away.

WhatsApp proves that switching away from an unfavorable service is not as easy as you think.

It is still essential in many countries, and many users, including myself, are unable to switch.

This is why companies first offer a product for free to gain a user base, and only then think about monetization.

It also proves that it will never be easy and the choice is just move away or suck it up. I decided just to move away. Like I did with Fb and Insta. If needed I will do that again - away from Signal.
