What do you think about voice notes? (www.bbc.co.uk)

Personally, I don't like them, because of the asymmetry of effort in sending vs receiving, and that you can't tell how serious it is before listening to it.

Voice messages?

I hate those from the bottom of my heart. It's one of the worst ways to convey information.

TLDR: god awful sound quality and amount of background noise with it mostly being just verbal diarrhea.

Of course there are exceptions.

Same as why I've always hated voicemails. Just send me a text.
