    Can you clarify the nuance you are pointing out? I really have heard multiple people assume they will be forced to be on every platform if multiple platforms become active/popular. They express they think a single platform is preferable.

      I explained this in another comment. I don’t want to have to keep 20 chat apps on my phone just to talk to my friends and family. I don’t want another one. Pretty simple.
