Absolutely. And everywhere WeChat has tried to get overseas users they have largely failed due to lack of home field advantage (no pre existing users to push payments to), and their investee in India dumped super app model as unworkable to split into separate apps

@longshortgamma Because of my earlier work in China, I have an account for the amazing WeChat - albeit (sadly) a somewhat watered down version because I don’t have a verifiable China mainland address. But my Chinese colleagues used WeChat like Facebook, Twitter and Apple Pay combined 😆

The problem with ‘doing WeChat outside China’ has always been that you’re trying to create a complete new ecosystem, with one company in control. WeChat was in the right place at the right time, but doing it again now, outside the Chinese market context, is a whole other problem/

@longshortgamma I dont think that's a technology question. Facebook had enough money to make any technology, copy any wechat funktionality if they wanted to long ago.
Problem was acceptance or legality of adding the various functions to a messenger and connect it all to your real identity.

@PatrickFIanagan Yeah, China has a different market dynamic. A simple way to describe it is the power of the app store marketplace controlled by Google or Apple here, has been shifted to WeChat. It is much easier for them to regulate & replicates China's top down control digitally.

@KalleyHuang @nytimes X is a super app like WeChat. The Chinese already has one. The critical issue is if US users will trust just one app to tweet, make purchases, post pics and make tiktok videos all in one.

@warren__terra @listeningon180g @RASmith2017 @Popehat That did not require any prescience whatsoever, it only required you to know literally one person on Chinese social media networks. Our family had already hunkered down at that point based on what was all over WeChat.

2) The problem of no external search indexing: What kind of writing would you produce if you knew there's no chance that it would be re-discovered?
In some cases, half of the traffic to my open-web, English-language writing comes a year after publication.
On WeChat? 0%.

@teslaownersSV @elonmusk The problem with edit is that people can go back and change what they said AFTER everyone has liked or commented.
The problem with WeChat is that it is a central control for all the people who must live up to a social rating.
Elon loves being in control.

WeChat is the most invaluable tool of control for the Chinese government. Yes, it maybe allows Chinese to occasionally stage "digital riots" before its parent company (ultimately CCP controlled) shuts it all down and mops up - but then why would PRC govt NOT WANT that?

You don't just build a super app. You grow it — over a long time.
More importantly grow it from some primary P2P feature that binds everyone together.
WeChat had messages, AliPay had payments.
Twitter have tweets and direct messages but there is a problem...
