And as a sibling comment says, also WhatsApp. The guy is always two steps ahead.

There's two separate things at play here.

One is "I don't want to use Meta products as a matter of principle", and WhatsApp's a no-go if that's your posture.

The other is "I don't want to drown in horrible, algorithm-curated junk content". Instagram is just as bad as Facebook there, but WhatsApp is definitely not the same.

100%. Whatsapp is still zuck, but it doesn't have a "feed" and that's the most important thing about it for me.

Now at the bottom it has a few tabs: Chats, Updates, ...

Updates are broadcasted, but they disappear after 24 hours.

Step 1) Keep updates for a week, later forever

Step 2) Mix Chats and Updates

Step 3) Add a few relevant patrocinated posts

Step 4) Change the css from green to blue

Step 5) Profit

Sería 'sponsored posts.' Como angloparlante nativo, tenía que comprobar que fuese una palabra de verdad 'patrocinate' (como 'patrocinado').

Yes, my bad. Hi from Argentina!

I'm waiting for Whatsapp to go down the toilet too. I notice it is already advising me to beware of misinformation on forwarded posts and only to use official and trusted sources (the government and their mates basically).
