Status is the part of WhatsApp where people put their current status by using images and videos.

I would rather pay a yearly fee and opt out of ads, if that is possible.

They might do as Google did with YouTube Premium. I just hope it'll be cheaper than that tho ?

 

Alternatively we can switch to Telegram.

I can't believe we need ads for messaging services. Seems crazy, but they gotta scrap every penny they can get from us.

Also gonna have to add a source, and quote and your own opinion to make this a valid news thread

Meanwhile, telegram does none of that.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Yes, as long as their ad servers are included in the dns blacklists.

Remember - when the service is free, you are the product!

Those days are over.  Everyone who bought Windows 10 in 2018 has actually paid Microsoft to be the product.  (edit: and the Guinea pig)

remember when mobile apps had ads, and you could pay a 1 time fee of $0.99 or $1.99 to opt out of ads?

 Alright good enough for me, though I've noticed there are a lot more adblocking detection enabled apps these days.
