I worked for years in one of the biggest in telecom companies in Europe. They supported RCS for about 2 years, before they stopped. I tried to restart the project, but there was no interest. It is viewed as a waste of money since customers already use Google Messages, iMessage, Facebook Messenger, Snapchat and WhatsApp.

I'm not going to use a proprietary protocol to chat through Google's (Jibe) servers running proprietary software. Even if the messages are e2ee, Google can still collect metadata. Google never provides anything for free and collection of data is kinda their thing.
I don't think it's big enough to have a noticeable impact. It's estimated to be between 5000 and 50,000 people strong. South Korea had an estimated population of 51,430,018 in 2023. That would make between 0.0097% and 0.097% of their population a part of 4B. So a tiny fraction of the population might have gone from a fertility rate of 0.72 to 0. That's between 3600 and 36,000 fewer kids.
When I tried to find out how many people were a part of the movement several sources had old estimates because the movement has supposedly almost died out in South Korea. So it might be even less that 3600.
You can reduce some of it, but not filter them out entirely. The closest would be to add for example Donald, Trump, Elon, Musk to the title filter, but titles like "Are Swearing In Ceremonies Over Yet?" would not to be stopped by the filter. You can add specific communities, domains and users if they post about Trump and Musk, but you would end up missing huge amounts of posts that is not related to Trump or Musk. And it would still not be very effective.
Go to "Settings" and then "Post Filter". Tap the + in the bottom right corner. You can then for example tap the field where it says "Title: excludes keywords" and write Donald, Trump, Elon, Musk and save by tapping the icon in the top right corner. You will be taken to your list of filters where you can select the one you just made. Choose "Apply to" and select where you want to use this filter. After that you just restart the app.
I'm assuming the price is lower just to gain some loyal customers. It's a tried and true strategy. If they were in the same position as Nvidia they would absolutely charge you like Nvidia is doing.
It works flawlessly for me when I use their link from "Get it on F-Droid"
What you heard may originally stem from this study: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/article-abstract/2790905
I read it earlier this week. Weird coincidence.
Wonderful! I hoped that would happen. That was why I linked an article from a well known paper that explaines it in such a way that everybody (not just doctors, nurses, etc.) can read about it. I thought that would be better than asking you to trust a stranger on the web.
Not my first language btw. I don't know what to call people that work with sick or hurt people.

I think you may have misunderstood what I wrote.
Snapchat makes money through showing you ads. RCS is something very different. It is not social media. RCS has no ads in the same way that SMS has no ads.
Telecom providers have to spend money to support RCS. Telecom providers don't want to spend money on RCS if it's not going to earn them money. They believe RCS is not going to earn them money because the customers aren't interested. The customers aren't interested because they can already chat with each other through social media and chat apps.
