| Well, Instagram DMs have entirely replaced sms and phone number exchange for an entire generation. This is like saying “what benefit do teenagers draw from having a phone line?” |

| ▲ | drivebyhooting 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | That’s really sad. Locked in a walled garden of vampiric carnivorous plants. And for what? A modicum of convenience? | | |
| ▲ | shaewest 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Is it really that different from being locked into SMS or Email or Teamspeak or Skype? I hate using SMS, but I'm forced to due to people I know using it, and it's 'openness' changes nothing for me as the end user. | | |
| ▲ | drivebyhooting 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Well for one thing SMS isn’t bundled with addictive apps that constantly try to lure you into traps against your better judgement. |
