A call for perverts to goon. Not even going to show the content.

Edit: Even kids younger than 15 y/o who have a smartphone use Whatsapp.

      Honestly… I don’t even know. Looking at the quality of images most of them seem fake channels — the original images seem to have been scraped from personal FB/Insta or some malicious app on someone’s phone that has full gallery access or maybe ex-boyfriends making their lives a hell. But some of them… yes, they seem Onyfanish type accounts who later start promoting some small brands to make a buck. Most of these channels seem to come from small towns and tier 2 cities.

    TIL you can click updates for shit like this.

    I sincerely thought WhatsApp was just a pure messaging service. Using it for years and never once clicked that.

      TIL too. I just checked it and apparently Billie Eilish and Indian Cricket Team are top in my recommends. I’m indifferent to Billie Eilish and I don’t watch cricket.

    Having recommended channel on a direct messagerie app is infuriating enough. But they always find a way to have us even more mad.

    @sonofearth 0 idea why they are doing this. I am getting the same recommendations even after using Ublock Orgin and everything for years. Shouldn’t about half of the users be actually female?

      I think maybe because majority of the popular channels are either Bhakti Channels, News Outlets or this bullshit. And they just want people to get hooked to the constant dopamine from religious propaganda, Godi Media’s political propaganda and Attention capitalization of Sex Deprived people in a country where sex is a Taboo. These are the factors that help them strengthen their position in this country. You can see it on other Meta Platforms as well. Most of the content over there is similar.

    I’m from Germany and I get recommendations for all kinds of German police forces (for each major city). Added to that, I often get channels for microwave recipes or random channels underage teenagers have created.

    What a great system!
