āWell you are using westernapp, thereās your problemā
I mean Facebook specifically. Itās shit at everything.
You say the same could apply to China and yet your solution is the same for the Chinese apps.
Yeah, because my point is that thereās no difference between a super-app and a tightly integrated phone OS or set of apps for these kinds of things.
Additionally, China could regulate it so all vendors have to be able to use any of these 2 or three apps and could force them all to API integrate with each other. In fact, I would not be surprised to see such a thing in coming years there.
Are they working on that law right now? What has changed recently that makes that more likely than 5-10 years ago?
Interpreting that as requiring open APIs, obviously more open APIs would very much help with that kind of integration, but right now it seems like itās all based on the creator of the ecosystem (Apple, Google, Tencent, Alibaba) working with individual establishments or more specific apps to offer as much as possible. Iām sure restaurants have a similar process to get fully integrated in Apple or Google Maps as they do to get fully integrated into WeChat or Alipay. The main difference I can see there is the number of restaurants working with those ecosystems, which has nothing to do with whether the ecosystem is a super-app or a set of apps built into an OS.
Interpreting it as requiring restaurants and such to work specifically with WeChat and/or Alipay, that just sounds like granting a legal monopoly/duopoly to those couple of companies. If it were state run that might be great, but Tencent and Alibaba arenāt state run.
Oh look, the debate style of quoting things line by line and blasting out a paragraph for each thing. How embarrassing for you. Cope harder, westoid.
Wow I replied to points in a structured manner, how cringe. I had a lot to say on a topic Iām interested in, how embarrassing. I guess my neurodivergence is showing, Iāll try to hide it for you.
Disengage.
Wow
You arenāt surprised.
I replied to points in a structured manner
Yes the liberal structure of Reddit.
how cringe
It is, in fact.
I had a lot to say
A lot of liberal bullshit.
on a topic Iām interested in
Try taking interest in it from a leftist perspective.
how embarrassing
Quite.
I guess my neurodivergence is showing
Iām neurodivergent, too. Half the people on this website are.
Iāll try to hide it for you
You wonāt and you know it.
