So what are they trying to say? If this becomes a thing we lose everything we usually use on mobile? And like _refugee_ said "Why does it seem dumb... Why should I have to do something in order to see something my friends chose to send to me? It's like I have to pay them before I've received any service." I don't want to have to post something in exchange for seeing if I have anything important waiting for me. (For example, I'm waiting on a friend to message me the address of the hotel he's booked at in a week. I don't want to have to "sling" something JUST to see the address for a few seconds.

* tl;dr _refugee_ I agree with you.
