Would it help if you told them you think Zuck is creepy? People often have a vague creeped out feeling about Facebook, Meta, and tracking. "I was messaging about (insert) here and started seeing ads for it on all my devices" might sell it and get them on your side.

Beyond that it's the pain point of them installing another app to communicate with likely only you, so leaning on things they already have might work. SMS/MMS may be a viable alternative, or maybe Delta Chat if they'd be willing to share an email address.

It's hard to deal with the saturation levels the big chat apps have so I wouldn't rule out having to keep WhatsApp, unfortunately.

Was there a particular set of years when it wasn't those things?

No prizes for guessing the outcome

Blame Democrats probably.

Big Pharma lobbies too hard for that to happen, it'll be ok. I hope medication will help your situation.

I mean I guess it's uplifting, but also not :/

It looks like a vigorous potato, I hope you can find a place to put him outside
