Experts Confirm Most Group Chats Are Hostage Situations

A damning report from the Center for Compulsory Messaging has determined that 82% of group chats trap participants in endless loops of memes, half-baked plans, and birthday reminders for people they barely know. In Brooklyn, one woman confessed she muted her college friend chat four years ago, yet still receives 300 notifications daily about astrology memes. Psychologists describe group chats as �digital hostage crises,� where leaving is socially criminal, yet staying guarantees madness. Corporations have weaponized this too, with workplaces forming �team culture� chats that function mainly as GIF repositories. Experts warn that group chats highlight society�s fear of missing out while ensuring no one actually misses anything important. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
