In 2021, when you open wechat, it’s almost full of ads, both official and former friends. Wechat kidnapped every user, whether high or low, open wechat, must see advertising, to achieve the real equality of everyone.
Wechat, with 1 billion users, is a real national product. Although wechat in 2021 is neither simple nor easy to use, chat records can only be stored locally, high-definition pictures cannot be sent in moments, and progress bars cannot be added to long voice messages, it is still the strongest social product in China.
While wechat is in its heyday, I’d like to predict what social tools will look like in the future.
In 2021, the domestic network disk manufacturers are still in the lower limit of human morality repeatedly cross jump, but the network disk space will eventually be tied together with computing power, as a cloud service together to sell to the future user.
Users buy cloud services, which is equivalent to having a super encrypted private server to store personal data. Cloud service manufacturers in the future will build plug-in platforms and provide various free plug-in tools. Although plug-in tools are free, the computing power and space required for running plug-ins need to be charged. These free plugins will include chat plugins, which may replace wechat as a social tool in the future.
Why does chat plug-in replace wechat?
For one thing, the chat plugin can store chat records indefinitely, as long as users are willing to pay for storage space.
Secondly, the chat records of the chat plug-in can be kept completely confidential. The chat records are stored in the user’s private cloud, and users can install the data encryption plug-in with one click. It is extremely difficult to crack the encrypted data even if the data of the web disk is leaked.
Third, chat plugin like Chrome plugin is open source, as long as the user wants to do, from Github download several programmers developed chat plugin extension package, voice plus progress bar, disk friends circle send super large picture, is not a thing ~
Cloud service vendors sell computing power and space, the more you toss, the more geek, the more net disk manufacturers earn, there is no reason to restrict you to try all kinds of new features.
Cloud service vendors are actively developing social add-ons and putting them in their stores for users to download with a click, so they can sell more space and computing power.
How to transfer wechat friend relationship to cloud service platform?
On the one hand, since wechat does not support backing up chat records, my cloud service provides the function of backing up wechat chat records for free, so those who want to back up wechat chat become my new users.
On the other hand, if the cloud service plug-in rich to such as Chrome plug-in store, including grab tickets, remote host games, VIP member video free to see, Pindong Cloud plug-in 10 billion subsidies special discounts and other functions… During the period of Laxin, users only need 10 yuan per month to buy computing power and space, and they can get the mixed services of various members which used to be several hundred yuan. Naturally, users will give up the traditional APP and flood into the cheaper cloud service platform to get high-quality and inexpensive services. As long as everyone uses the cloud service platform and matches with the cloud address book, it will take no more than 10 seconds to duplicate the wechat friend relationship.
What does the new cloud service chat plug-in bring us?
Users will never be banned; Users have always bought computing power and space, and as long as users can buy computing power and space from any cloud service provider in the world, their accounts and data will not disappear from the Internet. Ali cloud banned me, I go to Huawei cloud, Huawei cloud banned me, I go to Google cloud…
Users can skip ads; Unlike WeChat friends circle, circle of friends of the content stored in our personal cloud service, we look at each other’s circle of friends, is essentially a point-to-point access, we can put a time line plug-in, let friends circle is more like a circle of friends, but the time line plug-in just a reading tool, not insert ads, plugin developers can use the length according to the user, From the network disk manufacturers there to obtain revenue, in order to retain users, access to the use of time, timeline plug-in developers, naturally not to add advertising to the plug-in, reduce the user experience.
Users can truly protect their privacy; Nowadays, user privacy is leaked, mainly because there are too many rogue apps, and it is too easy to obtain permissions. Rogue APP is behind the profit of the people, the future of the network disk model, is the plug-in according to the user use time, from the network disk manufacturers, get divided, in order to profit, plug-in developers will make a better tool, win the word of mouth, get users, get user time; As for permissions, user data is in the cloud, and no plug-in can break through the cloud to obtain user data.
Summary (to sublimate)
This article is about chat plugins, and I hope that chat plugins are an open standard, not a specific tool, so that they can continue to receive new blood, evolve, and eventually benefit mankind like the Linux kernel.
Of course, the worst case is that the chat plug-in is developed by the wechat team, and it goes round and round again! But think carefully, the probability is not, wechat has 1 billion users, backed by Tencent, with QQ, there is a strong moat, social field, no one can beat, hair red envelope, can earn a basin full of pot full, there is no power to do chat plug-in this kind of thankless things.
Was the most dramatic results, several years later, WeChat really be chat plug-in robbed of a large number of new users, QQ has also been affected, between Scylla and Charybdis, due to spoil the closed ecosystem of dividend WeChat extreme exclusion chat plug-in open standards, when aware of the seriousness of the problem, WeChat ears liu novels of the “three body”, Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is.
