What that says to me is you are trying to bullshit using a basic tool when you actually need to do the work of onboarding people onto some kind of platform where you can actually coordinate complex things or have conversations between huge groups of people that are still salient to individuals.
Which is exactly the intended conditions ventcure capital investment in WhatsApp was intended to do, now they can just keep cashing in over and over again banking on pure inertia from people already knowing how to use WhatsApp badly to do something they could do far better with another tool.
Yeah it’s not the best but it’s hard to get people to install another app, make another account when they know they could just use the one they’re already using
Nobody really needed this feature, this is the actual reason it is being implemented… obviously.
It is insulting they aren’t even trying to hide it.

Yeah good luck getting everyone in whatever friend, hobby etc group to join your platform when all your communication is already happening on WhatsApp
