LOL yeah.

But seriously though, ads are deigned so that companies find more customers. Who cares what the customers want, need or buy. As long as the company gets the money, itโ€™s ad money well spent.

I for one have a quiet and dull WhatsApp experience. Plenty of dead chats and useless groups. But not for long. Soon I'll be able to easily hit up HP to discuss their new 3 year monthly subscription plan that allows me 10 prints a month with HP approved paper if each and every HP proprietary cartridge has at least 50% ink
