Totally agree.

I was happily using WhatsApp (and had even paid beforehand when they were only charging what they needed to operate).

I invested a lot of effort to onboard family members.

Everything was fine, until Facebook purchased WhatsApp by paying about 40 USD per user.

Now I have to invest a similar amount of effort in getting people to move to Signal.
