Comment on Please Don’t Make Me Download Another App | Our phones are being overrun

It still depends. I live in China and the internet here suckass. Every copy-to-China product, say taobao(Amazon), xianyu(eBay), Alipay(PayPal), WeChat(instant msg), etc. is crucial to your daily usage and mandatories an application. The API is closed and the webapp has no functionality other than a banner with “go fuck our mobile app”.

Doesn’t WeChat do more than instant messaging, though?

  Yes. From my experience, it is an everything app and you can pay for things instead of using alipay.

Wow, that sucks. I imagine government policy has a significant influence here…
