Does WeChat really have to charge? If you dare to accept me, dare to run!
I heard that WeChat is going to charge? Do you still need an annual fee of 500 yuan per year? Don't be funny, if this thing is true, I'm afraid Ma Huateng will have to run away from Shenzhen the next day!
Think about it, WeChat has been free for so many years, and now we suddenly want to collect money, isn't this digging a hole for ourselves? 500 yuan is not much, but I can't stand our Chinese love to take advantage of it! As soon as they heard that it would cost money, a lot of people must have turned around and left, looking for other software.
Besides, there are so many Internet companies now, which one doesn't want a piece of the pie? If WeChat dares to charge, Alipay, Baidu, and ByteDance will definitely be eager to try, and they can't wait to post money to grab users. Not only will you not have to spend money, but you may even be able to make a profit!
But then again, if WeChat does charge, it's not all bad. Those annoying group chats can be dismissed, and you don't have to worry about being @ by the leader in the middle of the night. Parents can also say goodbye to the bombardment of parent groups, and teachers can finally prepare for lessons quietly. It's a little exciting to think about it!
But let's not get too excited. If WeChat really dares to do this, I'm afraid it won't survive the end of this year. Do you think, now everyone's work and life are inseparable from WeChat, and suddenly you have to spend money to use it, and you can't fry the pot? When the time comes, the crowd will be angry, and it will be too late for WeChat to take back its life.
So, it's a rumor. If this is the case, Tencent will not be so unenlightened. If they really want to make money, there are other ways. For example, charging more for WeChat Mini Programs, or putting more advertisements in the circle of friends, isn't that much better than charging directly?
But then again, this incident is a wake-up call. Now, we're too reliant on WeChat. Work, life, and socialization are inseparable from it. If something really goes wrong one day, it's going to be a problem. So, be careful and don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Finally, I would like to ask: What would you do if one day, your most commonly used app really starts to charge? Do you pay for it obediently or abandon the pit without hesitation? What do you think about this?
