I know people prefer to complain instead of act, but what is something people don't like but has an alternative?

WhatsApp for me. I hate it but in my country all people use it.

"just don't talk to your friends, bro"

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

because whatsapp is the only way to talk to your friends...

It's not that is the only way to talk to your friends. In some countries Whatsapp is the default way to communicate with other people because of SMS prices so if you need to talk to your friends, distant relatives or complete strangers you know you can reach them using that app.

In some cases the fastest way to communicate with a company's customer service is through Whatsapp.
