WhatsApp's rise and recent PR efforts highlight a class of business models that I call "user domestication".

As Seirdy notes:

It just keeps getting more relevant. WhatsApp, GitHub, Twitter, Reddit…each disaster worse than the last. The companies in charge know that the users will just take it after having their autonomy taken first.

    I wish i do not have to use Whatsapp. Unfortunately, i have to for business purposes, as i am in part of the world where Whatsapp is the main chat app that everyone uses.

    Fortunately i have two phones (personal and business), so Whatsapp is only on the business phone.
