The Internet is filling up because Indians are sending millions of ‘Good Morning!’ texts

No one is commenting on this so I will. Strangers? Is this just the article writer not knowing how to finish their sentence or are millions of people purposefully sending Good Morning images to random strangers? Just like; 'Well I've sent out the 50 texts to my friends and family, hmm what to do... I guess I could just send Good Morning to random numbers and see what happens...'
Is it not ok to just re-use the same good morning image? Why download more every single day? it says the same thing. Weird.
It is a massive thing in Brazil too. I had no idea it was common in other countries. Sometimes you may receive a gem like this:
It's the fucking plague of chain mail email bullshit in it's next phase. It drives me absolutely nuts when my mother's husband keeps on sending me all that BS via WhatsApp.
Yeahhhh.... this sounds like the uncles and aunts I have on Facebook.
...I maybe need to delete my Facebook.

Says the guy on an internet forum for games. Let the guy enjoy tech. I think it's awesome when old people get all into tech.
This dude needs a hobby. That's too much free time.
You should see the Facebook and WhatsApp usage of most Italians above 40. Half of it is sharing shit like these:
I know people who unironically send these things to me. God damn it.
Same with my family in Spain.
This is not a indian thing, this a more than 40 year old family groups all around the world where whats app is popular.
This is my family WhatsApp everydayYou should see the Facebook and WhatsApp usage of most Italians above 40. Half of it is sharing shit like these:

I'm starting to think that my mom is subscribed to a good morning picture service. Theres probably a person out there you can follow for constant new ones, if not my mom needs a hobby or something.
I have this moral conflict where I feel terrible for hating this images so much, since I feel that the people close to me who share them are doing it with their best of intentions, and I feel bad when I can't give them an honest answer from my heart thanking their greeting. But at the same time, I have so ingrained in my mind that people who share this images are also the same people that will send copy pasted wall texts talking about how homosexuals are destroying society or other far right things that are related to my country that I can't really have respect for them.
Is so much that the other day I saw a women in a cyber cafe making a tribute to his dead mother with an incredible cheesy image that I felt really bad for disliking it, but at this point I can't really help it

Text, voice note, video, you name it. My aunt for example never write hi, how are you? She just sends a video without a context. Most of the time I just delete it. I set my WhatsApp to never download anything either wifi or data.
So is anyone gonna make a site-wide Good Morning! thread where we can say good morning to everyone with inspirational images, or...?
Almost every "older" person I know who uses smartphones does this. They look up cheesy good morning images (somehow, somewhere) and just send them. I don't understand why its so appealing to them. I guess the novelty of sending images?

I think he spends his time better than most. He's not some raging 4chan internet troll like most of the American internet population.
Hmm. Judging by some of the Facebook groups that my family members have tried to add me to... yes, people do spam these things to strangers. Probably not to random people on WhatsApp though.
Just how easy it is currently to slip a malware in png and jpeg these days? This daily habit seems ripe for exploitation by malware creators. From what i remember, Facebook rebuilds images from the ground-up before it gets shared so if there was malware before, it would theoretically be expunged. Hope the same is applied in WhatsApp.
That's a lovely image. I will cherish it in my nightmares.
Like I said, I last here the elders who post those share a lots of views with those 4chan users, only that they are not trolls, or maybe they are more subtle about it
Not from India, but WhatsApp has an insane grip on older people in Europe. All that 90s fun email image stuff, all the greetings and wishes, all the family and vacation photos, all the old sketches that are now on youtube or whatever. It's all on there. And they love to share it with 10 more people if they've gotten one of those.
There is a generation that's catching up on old shit through WhatsApp right now, probably because it is so easy to use.
I feel like that is something no social media expert or Silicon Valley guru even had on the radar.

WeChat has a lot of this too. And Thai people like sending these dumb images on Line, though not this frequently.
I like it when people being nice. It is so much better than hate posting.
Good morning, every morning, nice people.
Good morning, every morning, nice people.
I like how this Indian grandfather talks like a 22-year-old digital marketing SEO manager.
WhatsApp pretty aggressively compresses images and videos before sending them, so I doubt a carefully crafted malware-infected image would survive. I'm always confusing people by asking them to send me the full-size version of a photo rather than the 1280x960 one I got over WhatsApp.
