Description

(Sadly) the default messenger App for most people is WhatsApp ... because of network effects and inertia.

Last year WhatsApp co-founder Brian Acton who sold the company to Facebook in 2014 for the Benjamins,
quit Fb and urged others to do the same: https://twitter.com/brianacton/status/976231995846963201
