I find it interesting that the option to opt out of Stories exists in the Chat settings. Apparently they couldn't be buggered to even create a link to view the settings for Story inside of the Story UI's context menu.
But hey, I'm an old, biased, grumpy man. They're taking away SMS (which was what allowed me to get it onto my family's phones) and shoving TikTok in my face instead. I'm displeased by this and looking for things to pick on.
