Do you know what it was like to start using WeChat?
At the beginning, WeChat only had three functions: chat, drifting bottle, and shaking. And these three functions killed QQ and became the mainstream social chat tool. In the past 10 years, the ever-growing WeChat has penetrated into all aspects of our lives, and at the same time, the criticism has become more and more serious. Many people began to look for alternatives, and even returned to QQ instead of WeChat, and even DingTalk, Feishu are all under consideration, as if they feel a taste of "the enemy of the enemy is the friend".
Today, the stupid cat will take stock of the WeChat that has been criticized by users.
Criticism 1: A body has no soul
Who can remember the following WeChat interface? I believe many people don't remember, this is the first version of WeChat interface. Just a chat function, there are no friends at the beginning, you need to invite from QQ friends. And the chat content is also very simple, it is the content of a combination of text, icons, and pictures.
Later, voice chat, drifting bottles, and shakes were gradually added. Although some new functions are constantly being iterated, these are narrowing the distance between people, from strange to familiar to familiar. This is also the original intention of WeChat.
Today's WeChat is becoming more and more bloated, not just a pure chat tool. Payment, video account, official account, merchant, life service, live broadcast, game, shopping, work, etc. are all integrated in WeChat, including all aspects of life. According to statistics, from the first version released in January 2011 to the present, the WeChat installation package has swelled 575 times in 11 years, and the drifting bottle and other functions developed at that time to attract users have been shut down one after another.
Today's WeChat is no longer the boy he used to be, and now he is a 200-pound fat man with a fat body.
Criticism 2: Circle of friends has become an advertising circle
In the past, when I played WeChat, I would share it in the circle of friends before eating and sleeping, and the circle of friends was all about the life dynamics of friends, all sharing the bits and pieces of life with each other. And now the circle of friends has been occupied by various marketing advertisements, and there are few pure friend dynamics for half a day.
Why? There are probably several reasons:
1. Moments are all micro-business advertisements
We all know that micro-business was relatively popular in the first two years, and it was a very annoying thing for friends to do micro-business, and the circle of friends became a human affair. Ask you for a favor from time to time and give a like, can you still refuse? No, you have to order, and after clicking, you have to reply: "Like has been clicked".
Over time, I became more annoying, and gradually stopped being active in the circle of friends and faded out of my friends' vision.
2. The circle of friends has become a workplace dynamic
Are your WeChat friends still just friends? There may be many friends you don't know yourself.
It may be the relationship between the working relationship and the docking relationship at work. Once you leave your current job, there is no relationship, and you can't delete it because of face.
In order to distinguish between life and work, some will register two WeChats, and there will be a separate WeChat for work. Some even have several WeChats, especially for marketing work.
In this way, most of your friends are friends of work relationships, if they are not friends with special relationships, plus work WeChat, then your circle of friends can only be workplace dynamics.
3. Damn Pinduoduo
Pinduoduo knows! Help machete, help force, really annoying.
For people who mix in Pinduoduo every day, Pinduoduo is a treasure, as long as friends are hard enough, the things of Pinduoduo can be prostituted for nothing, and when the pocket is empty, you can also find Pinduoduo to ask for a red envelope. The circle of friends is full of pinduoduo slashing and helping.
Those who disdain Pinduoduo in vain can be said to hate Pinduoduo to the bone, and they are slashed all day and helped to drink around. I really can't pull my face, so I say that Pinduoduo has been uninstalled. Such a tactful refusal sometimes doesn't help at all. Over time, friends can't do it. Either block or block the moment. The relationship is not hard, and they all want to delete their friends directly.
In such an environment, can the circle of friends still be clean? No, only pull down, punch hard, and all malicious marketing, advertising, or help will be cleared. Otherwise, you say goodbye to your circle of friends yourself.
Criticism 3: Frequent banning, affecting pond fish
Increasingly strict ban policies, gambling, pornography, fraud, rumors, etc. will be subject to account bans. However, at present, the behavior of banning accounts is particularly perverted, for example, the first behavior of WeChat official crackdown is WeChat more open. When the ban was strictest, tens of millions of WeChat accounts were shut down overnight, and the second behavior was to frequently add friends in a short period of time, and the number exceeded the prescribed number.
Banning is not possible, of course. Wrong blocking will not work, which seriously affects the user experience and users' trust in WeChat.
Any group, there are good and bad, not to mention that the WeChat user group has more than 1 billion, such a huge user group, naturally there are some smelly fish and rotten shrimp top up the crime, this part of the people should definitely be cleaned up. But there are still many good law-abiding citizens who are "killed by mistake", perhaps they just have a "bad face".
In fact, under such a large user group, the processing of bans is not a manual matter, but an intelligent system that handles it according to the rules set by the platform. Missealing accounts is inevitable. As the saying goes, "No one is a sage." For a cold machine, it knows 0 and 1 in its eyes, and you have a "0 and 1 face", which naturally will not let you go. In line with the principle of "it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go", he was named "wailing everywhere".
However, for users with wrong accounts, they can only helplessly embark on the road of appeal.
As long as it is not permanently banned, it can be appealed. If you're lucky, direct personal verification plus friend assisted verification can be unblocked.
If you are unlucky and the account violation is more serious, it will be very troublesome.
First you have to prove that you didn't violate the law, and then you have to prove that your account is yours. It's like you have to prove that your dad is your dad, which is ridiculous.
No, I started to call customer service, but it was difficult to connect.
After luck to connect, the settings of Tencent customer service are indeed very ghostly, press 1 to solve QQ, press 2 to solve WeChat, and then will tell you a bunch of nonsense, and when it is confirmed that it is this mobile phone WeChat, he will tell you: "After manual review, your account is indeed in violation of the law, and it cannot be unblocked at present, please unblock it according to the WeChat team information, please hang up when it ends!" ”。 People with a bad temper may have to scold their mother on the spot, but people with a good temper may also endure saying "thank you".
However, complaining is complaining, and there is really no one that can replace WeChat at present. In the future, you can expect ByteDance, Douyin chat PC has been released, this time it said "do not engage in blind socialization".
Although Byte's previous multi-flash and flying chat have not done anything, this Douyin chat, Douyin title blessing, may be different.
