Welp, here's the thing. Real estate agents typically like getting paid. So I figure if you tell them "Hey, I don't have whatsapp. Let's email or text instead.", they would do it, because a sale is a sale. They aren't agreeing to give anything up. And it's a very temporary situation from their perspective.

Also, I find it wild that meta (facebook), which owns whatsapp, controls the platform that an entire country relies on for any communication within an industry that dictates where you live. That is crazy. That feels like a lot of corruption must have had to happen for that to have happened.

Are you copy-pasting the same message across many chats? If so, try varying them a little.
Bullshit, I know.

Meta is changing how they price messages sent on the WhatsApp Business API (they'll start charging for every single message now) and lately they've gone haywire trying to ban unofficial WhatsApp Automation services.
If you try to use their crap even a little faster than the average Joe, you get caught in the crossfire.

If you send the same message across a couple contacts it's already enough to flag you (especially in your case, since you're likely sending messages to contacts you never spoken to before, right?)
And if you're using WhatsApp Web it's even worse.
And now that your account already got restricted once, it's likely to keep getting worse unless you can afford to not use WhatsApp for like, a week for your number to "cool down"

I too wish my country's communications wasn't so Intertwined with this garbage.

That's actually infuriating. The fact that the real estate landscape is based on Whatsapp should just be illegal. Don't agree with whatsapp T&C? Go homeless. Do we need to remind who is whatsapp?

Same with cellular providers giving unlimited data on Whatsapp on a 25GB plan. Straight to jail.

I'm proud of you for just being mildly infuriated about this. I'd be pure rage monster. You've got the patience of a saint!

Pal, you're a few decades late to the Facebook sucks conversation.

Spam their public corporate accounts with complaints, in public comments. That's the only way.

This is the reason you don't 'sign in with Google' or Meta or whatever.

Yep this has been happening to me as well. I really want everyone to start using Signal but trying to convince people is like pulling teeth. It's infuriating. WhatsApp fucking sucks.

We need to de couple from big tech before it's too late.

My 6 year old snap account for banned for "prohibited drug content" I'm Canadian and all I've ever done is share videos of me blazing to friends. Thankfully I have contact with the people that mattered via other means, still doesnt mean it doesn't suck

Since when did real estate parasites, I mean agents, stop taking phone calls?

I get 3 cold calls a day from agents asking if I want to sell.

I'm hoping the age of self hosted chat platforms comes to fruition and I can get Meta the fuck out of my life, but it's currently a hard sell between by friends

My take on this one (as a prospective home buyer) is that I don't want to have to deal with real estate agents at all, particularly if they demand to be paid on commission; When they're paid on commission, they benefit by being lazy and not attempting to negotiate down the price of the home. I home that real estate agents are automated away in the future.

META wants more data from you, i would ditch the app.

You're absolutely sure they won't take a phone call about a quarter million dollar sale or whatever?

What country are u in that u have to go through whatsapp? Have only ever used my personal cell for stuff like this, if I have to download an app to do something you can bet I ain't doing it lol. If there's anything I have learned its that if it needs an app, it doesn't fucking work.

I said whatsapp is not safe once. Glad (and horrified) to see I was correct. P2P encryption means nothing if the clients just report the data out via a side-channel once decrypted.

God what's up sucks I hate it like so much anytime any of my clients request that I use what's happened just makes me cringe so fucking much. Just let me text you like a normal person rather than using some third party bullshit app.

fuck fb - also kinda waited to the last minute to find a new place, no? hope things works out for you

This happening eventually is why we switched all our convos to signal last year.

This is the fault if everyone who let monopolistic proprietary tech become important. Basically everyone.

So I'm just gonna laugh at this shit, because it was earned and I told you so.
