      He's gonna make a great old man with that beard and that look on his face. One day, in a nursing home, all he'll do is make that movement with his lips while having that look in his eyes and everyone will feel judged. He might give a smile to the most professional of the nurses once in a while, but he'll judge the hell out of every other occupant of that nursing home while ranting at them silently with that look on his face. They'll say it's because of his stroke, but that wasn't a stroke. That was just the day he finally had enough.

    • @wkt2506
      @wkt2506 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The trouble is a mismatch between expectations of people about what these groups are for and different taste/feelings about what is worth reading & posting.
      Some people genuinely care about others news and probably expect that others will care when they post their news about their cat / family.
      People have different senses of humour too.
      Some groups have a genuine flow between chit chat and heart to heart conversation, information, commentary & humour - similar to what you'd get in holiday of friends sharing accommodation.
      In too many other groups eg. Someone is there to hear necessary information but finds themselves trapped in traffic of memes, or they are there for friendship and find themselves only hearing advice & 'tips'.
      Also people need to up the quality of their messages and decrease the length & volume when it is going to higher numbers of people.

      I have a friend who's got social anxiety but is still using WhatsApp very actively as an effective way of communication. Her anxiety makes her not want to bother anyone who doesn't want to be bothered, so she's created 5 different groups with different constellations of the same 6 or 7 people and uses a different group depending on who she doesn't want to bother with a group text. It's so confusing to keep track of those groups, I'd much rather get the occasional message that's not meant for me.

    OMG David Mitchell has nailed this perfectly. I am a member of one group that I just can't leave - they are my oldest and dearest friends but the nonsense messaging starts at around 5am, bing, bing, bing, bing....so after being woken several times I angrily put the phone on 'do not disturb' but invariably forget to turn it off, thus missing calls and messages during the day that actually matter. Now I am sure there is some fancy way that youngsters can circumnavigate this problem but I couldn't be arsed. David does it again!!

If someone wanted to contact me urgently, they can just call. But WhatsApp is super useful if you have family that's not living in the same country as you. You don't have to pay money for international calls and it doesn't matter whether they are using Android or iOS.

      Right, the issue is about receiving pointless notifications all the time and I totally agree it sucks, but you can fix it very easily. You can even individually mute notifications on the chats you don't want to be notified about and still receive notifications from others. Even outside of Whatsapp I think people should be way more strict about what they allow their devices to notify them about.

    I get what he means. I thinks it’s great for one on one conversations but if you are in a group where most of the conversation doesn’t need your attention, having it go off every ten secs is going to get annoying. Yes you can mute it but you know you are going to need to check it eventually just to make sure you’re not missing anything important and so it’s always in the back of your mind. 0:45 is spot on what the problem is, constantly getting our attention for nothing.
