These are the types of Whatsapp Channels Indians get recommended
A call for perverts to goon. Not even going to show the content.
Edit: Even kids younger than 15 y/o who have a smartphone use Whatsapp.
Some of those pictures look very young, too
Ikr. At this point I won't even be surprised if it is some fat ass uncle who is into pedophelia handling this shit who shits his RSS-BJP (nazis of India) propaganda to others.
Meta trying to replace pornhub and onlyfans
TIL Whatsapp has channels.
Are these ladies of negotiable affection, or is it like onlufans advertising?
Honestly... I don't even know. Looking at the quality of images most of them seem fake channels — the original images seem to have been scraped from personal FB/Insta or some malicious app on someone's phone that has full gallery access or maybe ex-boyfriends making their lives a hell. But some of them... yes, they seem Onyfanish type accounts who later start promoting some small brands to make a buck. Most of these channels seem to come from small towns and tier 2 cities.
TIL you can click updates for shit like this.
I sincerely thought WhatsApp was just a pure messaging service. Using it for years and never once clicked that.
TIL too. I just checked it and apparently Billie Eilish and Indian Cricket Team are top in my recommends. I'm indifferent to Billie Eilish and I don't watch cricket.
Just checked and this is mine and its worse.
Is that the exchange rate? Goon twice for every prayer
At lot of poo related stuff
A Pooja is a sort of ceremonial prayer. It's also a common name associated with some actresses who were or are attractive.
As an aside theres a movie "Khabie Kushi Khabie Gum" with a character named Pooja living in the UK. The filmmakers decided should have the nickname (drumroll please) Poo. No, it is not possible to take seriously.
Thank you for explaining
I hate channels very much but my hatred for the channels recomendation is unparalleled, and I'm not even indian
@sonofearth 0 idea why they are doing this. I am getting the same recommendations even after using Ublock Orgin and everything for years. Shouldn't about half of the users be actually female?
I think maybe because majority of the popular channels are either Bhakti Channels, News Outlets or this bullshit. And they just want people to get hooked to the constant dopamine from religious propaganda, Godi Media's political propaganda and Attention capitalization of Sex Deprived people in a country where sex is a Taboo. These are the factors that help them strengthen their position in this country. You can see it on other Meta Platforms as well. Most of the content over there is similar.
I guess we know where all the porn data Meta torrented went to...
Having recommended channel on a direct messagerie app is infuriating enough. But they always find a way to have us even more mad.
I'm from Germany and I get recommendations for all kinds of German police forces (for each major city). Added to that, I often get channels for microwave recipes or random channels underage teenagers have created.
What a great system!
People actually pay attention to these?! 💀
Prem kahani?
Indian Smuts slop.
I get reccomended slop for kids, not AI slop, actual human slop content
Not only is this disgusting, but the lack of gay fodder is appalling!
\
You guys are like the most crowded people on this planet, sure there are shit-ton of gay dudes amongst you. Why leave that market out?

Is it criminal/illegal to love cocks in India?
Not formally criminalized but socially stigmatized Im sure.
But I'm also sure theres a Hrithik Roshan jerk off channel somewhere on there too, dont worry.
It used to be a crime until 2018 until the supreme court ruled against it. But it is still a stigma.
What's a "WhatsApp channel"?
Whats a "WhatsApp"?
It's messenger app your mom texts me on.
I know WhatsApp is like the international standard but you all need to get off that shit. Meta should be boycotted globally.
I don’t understand why this is just ok everywhere. People are swearing off American tech in droves, yet somehow this one gets a free pass.
FYI a lot of Indian government agencies use WhatsApp for their everyday operations. Most Indians don’t care about the US stuff, all they need is WhatsApp
Tell this to my family who thinks it is the most revolutionary piece of technology ever created and shun me to speak out. :(
Signal has group messaging too. Even has usernames.
Send out messages.. "hey install this privacy messaging app."
Then start making groups then start sending jokes and funny funny videos on the group messaging channels.
Must people will actually do their research when they see it and install it initially.
It's when you try to get people on it with one on one texting is when i find it the most difficult for adoption because you're the only person they will use it with.
Update:
Also, if you have maga friendly family that you still connect with (doesn't sound like the case for you if you're outside the US), just remind them that it's Trump's favorite messaging tool. Just don't invite the bad guys on to your channel then everything is daiseys.
I'll contend the biggest play Meta ever did was buying Whatsapp. They saw the app had reached critical mass and was an actual necessity, unlike their facebook crap which only appeals to a certain subset of people.
And now we're all stuck with it and Meta's enshitification and progressive privacy violations.
