Good article but sorry but it should not be normalized that you have to have an iPhone to join a social network. Something clearly wrong there.

And thus ensured your social network won't have 72% of the world on it... And locally for anyone outside the USA, a far higher percentage.

I mean, god forbid the guy start with one platform, right? Calling that "normalization" is just victimy, whining-about-blue-bubble bullshit.
