I won't use anything other popular other than signal. There are some other cool apps like simplex behind for but I keep that for my enthusiasts out there.

People who don't want to keep in touch and still use WhatsApp despite WhatsApp using the signal protocol make me wonder how much they want to keep in touch with me and how much they understand their tools and devices.

I also wonder what other bullshit apps they use as well but won't install signal.

Luckily I have friends and family who indeed do want to stay in touch and who also recognize the implications of using questionable software. I keep them close.

I'm not even going to bother to take this seriously at all.

There's something to be said about unfulfilling and 'bullshit jobs'. Aside from the potentially dubious methodology here, consider the implications of this 'finding'.

How about look at the rentier and profit sapping features of these massive tech companies.

Sadly I know some who spend $ on multiple services. I find that troubling.

Monopolies undermine their own products because of greed. Color me shocked.
