First We Force The App... Then We Force The Advertising...

I killed facebook messenger because it already took over my phone and drained my battery super fast...

After forcing Facebook users to switch to a separate Messenger app to continue chatting, the social network is about to start pushing adverts on those using the function.

The thing about phones is that the screens are tiny. All this stuff on a laptop is seriously annoying, but it quickly makes everything unusable on a tiny screen. Also, everyone who thinks up this stuff imagines a world where everyone has (close to) unlimited data,* but not everybody does and all this shit eats through your data in addition to making the apps just horrible.


*And of course, your phones are very useful when you are traveling outside the country, but every app is constantly talking to the mother ship unless you spend a lot of time trying to tell them to stop, eating through expensive data very very quickly.
