You are in college, just wasting your time on Reddit and stumbled upon an interesting link. You want to share it with your friends. Now, rather than opening Messenger(which could take time or you don't want to login), you could just copy the link and voilà, your friends get fast access(because local network) and you didn't have to do anything.
