It's like charging you for cable and then shoving ads down your throat.

Yes, but so much more. An actually useful assistant that could draft emails, set reminders appropriately, create automations, etc. would be worth A LOT of money to me.

I do not understand the position where companies first provide a good service and and than later reduces the experience and functionality.

Twitter has taught us that the vast majority, once committed to a platform, will tolerate endless abuse and never leave. So companies treat you real nice to get you in the door so they can piss all over you later.

Do a search for "embrace extend extinguish" to learn more.

Remember that time Elon said he totally was not going to ban a single specific person when he bought Twitter and then turned around and did exactly that just a few days later?

Really? Did you interview all 1 billion Apple users?

They would also collect all of the metadata that would make you NOT want to use WhatsApp in the first place.

I haven't seen their refusal but I imagine it's for the same reason they ditched SMS.

They don't want their users confused about what is and is not a secure message.
