I don't. I use Doctorows definition.
If anything, if you prefer signal to WhatsApp (I do), you should be happy with its enshittification - because that means it's killing itself. But it's not, and it's already shit, and its users are okay with that.
It's basically a way to keep up with events you're already interested in (your favourite band, local soccer club, etc). You're complaining about an optional feature you don't want to use, that doesn't even exist yet, and misrepresent it as ads.
Yeah, no, I'm right. This is always how it starts, and these new Channels "partners" will definitely be a revenue stream in the future if they aren't already. Your view is naive.
