Just a quick rant for having something published on the page.
\nI’m not an extremely sociable person by any means, but I do chat pretty often with friends or classmates via IM platforms like WhatsApp. Whether it is for complaining about a shitty teacher, sending memes or sharing news, having a platform to communicate with people is a total must nowadays.
\nHowever, if there is something I cannot withstand is having to interrupt my Pretty Busy Workflow™ (mainly composed of YouTube binging, procrastinating and feeling anxiety at times) for having to listen to someone’s voice messages. It’s not a big deal for me if it is something occasional, but when it comes to people whose main way to send information to others is by voice messages I cannot but scream internally when I have to listen to three minute-long messages that I can’t listen at a 2x speed rate (if the folks at WhatsApp really cared about UX, they should have implemented features like this a long time ago; probably this wouldn’t be such a “problem” for me if that were the case).
\nI’m a person with a relatively low attention span, and that’s the reason I like things done fast. If you’re going to spend 15 minutes in saying something that could have been said in less than 3, you lost me. I know that voice is a lot more expressive than sending a string of text with one or two emojis, but please: use them wisely. At least try to plan what you’re going to record and be concise. People like me will thank you.
