Ironically, it got popular when it still tried to get users to subscribe to a monthly payment. And as it was one of the few messaging platforms to be (in the future) paid at all, I cannot understand why it ever got popular...
Well, sure, Meta cancelled the subscription plans later but to me it sounded a red flag in the first place.
Well, it would be nice if it could search too, as that's Microsoft's selling point at least. But the results the AI suggests are worse than using Bing search itself.
