Why does Rachel believe there should be no more group chats?

Rachel Coster 2:10
offensive so what's your take okay i think that there should be no more group chat 100 disagree okay because no i think what happened is that you and i are different because young people respectfully we have a different thing going on what's that they are making group chats for legit anything and i'm finding it challenging because something will start as like oh we're going to the fair but then like six months later i'm getting 125 texts a day
Kareem Rahma 2:35
in the fair group chat.
Rachel Coster 2:35
Yeah, that are saying like, oh, Trump got shot, whatever. I don't want to see that in my group chats that I've never signed up for. You can't consent to being in a group chat. No one ever asks like, oh, do you want to be in here for the rest of your life?
Kareem Rahma 2:48
It's true. It's like a nightmare. OK, I'm with you on this one.
Rachel Coster 2:51
And then you can't leave.
Kareem Rahma 2:52
Wait, you can leave.
Rachel Coster 2:54
No, because then they'll send me a screenshot of me exiting group chat, go, hey, Rachel, what the f***? And then I'll have to express that like, oh, I actually don't want to be a part of this community anymore.
Kareem Rahma 3:04
It is a community.
Rachel Coster 3:05
And then it's like not worth the drama. I don't have to explain that I don't want to be there. It's just like you get back to your phone and there's 300 new messages all from one space.
Kareem Rahma 3:12
Do you do the minimal amount of work in there? Yeah, no, I never respond.
Rachel Coster 3:15
If someone got engaged or something, I'll bop in. But generally, it's like I really don't care what's going on in there. If you want me to know, text me.
Kareem Rahma 3:22
What's the name of your most active group chat?
Rachel Coster 3:24
Wags, which is wives and girlfriends of our friend.
Kareem Rahma 3:28
Who's the friend?
Rachel Coster 3:29
Zach. He's gay. Nothing wrong with that. I love the LGBT. Cute. Cute.
Kareem Rahma 3:36
Plus.
Rachel Coster 3:36
Plus.
Kareem Rahma 3:38
What's up, Rachel? Welcome to the show.
Rachel Coster 3:40
What's up? Thank you for having me, Kareem. Sorry for being bad at technology. And that's just like, I guess, my generation. And I also have like an amendment to my subway take. Is that allowed?
Kareem Rahma 3:52
Of course. That's actually what the show is for.
Rachel Coster 3:54
Okay, perfect. Because... I think that group chats can be amazing, but I think they need an expiration date because there are too many people who are really lonely and just using them as a way to talk to people after you already went to Six Flags or had a bridal shower, and there's no need for there to be jokesters chatting up months after the event you made the group chat for.
