Go to India. Way more than just a handful of companies using it

WhatsApp integrates into the rest of Meta ads machine so it distribute leads from facebook and instagram directly to whatsapp. It also makes money with spam.

WhatsApp makes absolutely no money with spam. There isn't a per-message cost or however you think that would work

There absolutely is a per-conversation cost for marketing messages.
