I remember payin 70 cents a year for whatsapp some decade ago. They should have never been allowed to sell to facebook.

I remember the popups asking to start paying or they will delete my account, I've always let them run out and my account got renewed for free for another year, until they made it entirely free.
That was common practice, I genuinely don't know anyone that actually paid the fee.

I did. 70 cents for a year was practically nothing compared to using SMS.

And if they enforced it, it would have been a sustainable business model.
