Later, with the growth of age, Thunder also changed. The biggest change is that many resources can't speed up because of violations, and the function of offline download seems to have changed. At the same time, the network disk of Thunder has been shut down. In addition, I play less games, and the demand for island resources is not as strong as before, so I use it less and less. It is estimated that the frequency of using Thunder in one year is not as much as that in the previous week.
The reason is that there are fewer and fewer things to download, and another reason is that the internet speed is getting faster and faster now. My home is now 200m broadband. Even without Thunder, the download speed is basically above10m/s.. Now the acceleration of Thunder members is similar to that of ordinary downloads, and there is no obvious sense of speeding up before.
The reason why I will continue to be a member is purely a habit. Now Xunlei has been doing activities for a long time, and I haven't opened a member for a while, but it's hard to watch my growth value decline. Coupled with the occasional use of thunder when I saw that I was not a member, I scratched and scratched in my heart. So I still have a membership system every year, there are hundreds of things anyway.
As for life membership, I don't think I can open it. Personally, I think that the main reason for Thunder's life-long membership may be that with the decrease of the number of fixed members, their capital chain has problems, and they need a lot of funds to supplement and save in the short term. Therefore, this mode of raising fees in a short time is adopted. Suppose there are 65,438+100,000 people who have established life-long members, which is equivalent to paying more than 30 million in cash at one time (I mean, on average, there are more than 2,000 people and more than 4,000 people, and each person pays more than 30 million on average). Although they promised to return it after one year, for them, it is equivalent to borrowing more than 30 million yuan without interest for one year.
In addition, if Xunlei does launch a life-long membership, maybe my annual membership will not be renewed. I'm afraid that after they collect the money, they will close for a few days like the gym in the news. In the current market economy, a company says it will fall. The more you kill the goose that lays the golden egg, the more it shows the crisis of the situation.
Finally, I still hope that Thunder will transform successfully as soon as possible, otherwise. . . . . . . . .
This wave of thunder operation is still very routine. According to the official details of Thunder, the specific launch time of the service is 20 1 June/91day, with a lifetime platinum member of 2,899 yuan and a lifetime svip of 4,899 yuan. The price is not expensive [I want to be quiet] but the point is that I also gave a matching "fairy privilege"-I can apply for a refund after one year. This is equivalent to using the membership service for free for one year. If it is returned after two years, it is equivalent to two years of free use. The deposit will be refunded within 20 working days, which is equivalent to one month. If there is no problem with Xunlei Company, it will be reliable if the money can be returned then. However, the reason behind this obvious "circle money" behavior is hard to say.
Whether the permanent membership of Thunder 4999 is worth buying mainly depends on the function of Thunder and whether the current value of Thunder is worth taking risks.
It's 4999 yuan a year, and you can get a full refund after one year. To put it bluntly, it is financing in disguise like Fixun before. A year later, if all users run away collectively, Thunder can't stand the same situation as Fixun. Therefore, in the later period of Thunder, there will definitely be a bunch of restrictions or activity policies to avoid this kind of thing. This is very obvious.
Of course, if the Thunderbolt function is good, users can pay to use this function, which is also possible, just like the previous 1 15 network disk to engage in permanent membership.
However, the demand of user groups of Thunder is obvious, that is, cloud downloads and cloud players, and most of the content is erotic.
However, according to domestic policy restrictions, it is not allowed to provide cloud services for illegal resources, and users must use cloud services if they want to download at high speed.
The main function of Thunder vip is cloud service. Your Thunder vip provides cloud services, but it is also castrated cloud services. You can meet the needs that users want but don't provide. Why should users risk wasting 4999 yuan for this castrated vip?
Just like the previous 1 15 network disk, why do you want to sell 500 yuan a year, so many people pay the bill? It is nothing more than the cloud download and online viewing of resources through the unlimited cloud service of 1 15. However, due to policy restrictions, the 1 15 network disk, which had been sold for 500 years before, also restricted the types of resources and went down the altar.
Whether it is a download tool or a cloud service provided by a network disk, in fact, they all know what the needs of most users are.
Thunder is actually the forerunner of cloud services. The previous Thunder Cloud VOD can be said to be an artifact among artifacts. If it weren't for the pressure of Xunlei seeking listing at that time, Xunlei's resources were constantly restricted, the copyright was restricted, and Xunlei Cloud VOD was closed. Now there is no 1 15 network disk, and Baidu network disk has nothing.
It's just that Thunder mistakenly recognized the needs of Thunder users. In order to go public, it only needs to give up the needs and feelings of users, which led to the existence of the Big Mac in the past, which is very sad.
Now thunder has actually fallen to the point of finding users to raise funds, and a generation of artifacts has also stepped down from the altar.
In addition, various cloud products are constantly emerging, and users' broadband is also constantly improving. The former 2M has changed to the present 100M and 1000M. The advantages of download tools are gradually replaced by cloud download, cloud player and online VOD, and users' demand for download tools is getting smaller and smaller.
Thunder's current activities can be regarded as the last struggle, and users are at great risk. Maybe six years ago, Thunder was a giant with almost no risk, but now Thunder has nothing to say.
Therefore, I don't recommend that you pay a high price for this permanent vip.
I estimate that within five years, unless Thunder is willing to return to the embrace of cloud-on-demand, Thunder will no longer have any effect.
First of all, I am a member of Thunder, but the revision of Thunder in recent years has made me very unhappy! In particular, the interface, mainly download software, plus some web pages to broadcast some other things, after all, the market needs. But if you make the download interface so small and the next web interface so big, you can't restore the last one or open it, which means forcing users to watch it. . . How nice the simple interface used to be! I think it is understandable even if the interface and advertisement pop-up window are kept.
Now, the thunder is too loud and gone with the wind.
What? Permanent member? One-year refund? Please, the gym and barber shop just finished membership, but they ran a lot.
I wanted to download the Windows8. 1 image yesterday, and then use the mac. Baidu Cloud is not a member, so I want to use Thunder. Then Thunder has 23 resources and the speed is 23k. I went to Pinduoduo and spent fifty cents to buy a platinum member of Thunder. The speed reached the full speed of my 100 megabit broadband, and it dropped to 70%. The speed dropped suddenly. There are more than 230 resources, using more than 90 resources, but the speed is still 100k K, and the rest of the prompts took more than 4 hours, then I quit and reopened in less than 5 seconds. Let's toss for an hour.
No wonder it's reliable If you put 5,000 yuan in the bank for financial management, the annual interest will be at least 250 yuan, which means that you need 250 yuan for membership for one year. At the same time, Thunder raised more than 5% to make money this year. 10 years later, another member of the universe came out and was revived.
Then, let me give you an example, which may also be a routine for future development. You can pay 50 thousand yuan to enjoy all the training materials from primary school to high school for free, and all of them will be returned after the college entrance examination. You think it's earned!
Frankly speaking, I am not optimistic about the permanent membership of Xunlei, which is suspected of fraud. More importantly, the life-long membership of Thunder is of little value.
As a download client with hundreds of millions of users, the greatest value of Thunder is downloading. With the faster and faster broadband speed, there is no advantage in downloading with Thunder. For a simple example, in many areas, home broadband starts at 200M, and the download speed is about 22MB/s at ordinary times. Download a few g files, and you don't need thunder at all.
Although Xunlei has a member acceleration service, some popular film and television resources are blocked by Xunlei for copyright reasons and cannot use the acceleration service. In this way, the value of Thunder members will be greatly reduced.
For many people, members of Thunder are of little value. Since it's worthless, why buy a life-long membership of Thunder?
Of course, Thunder members are relatively cheap, and the lifetime price of Platinum members is 2,999 yuan, and SVIP is 4,999 yuan. Moreover, a life member of Thunder 1 year can get a full refund, which is equivalent to one year's uselessness. But the routine is here, 2999 yuan or 4999 yuan in advance, free 1 year. Isn't this financing in disguise?
Fiji router has been a painful lesson. I hope everyone will be cautious when purchasing life members of Thunder, and beware of rollover.
Who can come up with 5000 yuan to play? Maybe they all have some experience. . And say so. I set up a member with 5000 yuan, and I can use 1 year for free, which is basically the same as the income ratio of buying funds with this money in reality. It's risky for me to play like this. I might as well buy some funds and get the money to open a meeting, so that I can at least be as stable as a dog. .
In fact, the way of lightning bolt is exhausted.
For example, if you buy a permanent member in 500 yuan and get a refund after one year, the annual fee is 10%, and the annual fee is 5% every 1 year. .
The price is low, and some people may be willing to try. At the price of 5 thousand, I can't afford to play anyway .
You say 500 yuan is good, but I'm willing to pay some money. If you lose, you lose. If Thunder is really short of hundreds of millions, my previous feelings can help you tide over the difficulties. I think I can have a try. .
Is the permanent membership launched by Thunder reliable? Is it worth buying?
(1) Then I'll answer the first question. The concept of permanent members is reliable, but we can't ignore a question, that is, how long is permanent, one year or ten years or twenty years. No one can explain it clearly because it is not clear how long a company can operate. After all, a century-old shop is very rare in the world. So to know whether he is really reliable, compare it with your psychological expectation of how long you can use this member or how long you want to use it, and compare it with the value you pay. If you already know the monthly fee of this member, and then divide it by the money of the permanent member, if the value is lower than your own psychological expectation, then you must seriously consider whether to spend the fee of this permanent member.
(2) As for whether it is worth buying, in my experience, it is not. Now copyright has been strictly managed. Whether it is a stand-alone game, computer software or film and television works, it is impossible to download copyright works, especially film and television works, with Thunder. What's more, many websites can be watched for free now, that is, they don't need to download and occupy hard disk space. For the network speed, the buffer speed of watching movies now is very fast. Personally, I prefer watching online to downloading. Because downloading it will take up space on my computer's hard disk, so it's worth it. I think it's the best choice to look at it in the browser. Through my brief introduction above, I come to the conclusion that this permanent member is not worth spending money, and I hope to adopt it.
Let's just say, except for the offline download function, it seems to be still there, but it has long been useless; General files can also be downloaded at high speed by other downloaders; You know, even the file vvvvip is at that speed; Usually jump out of a Thunder Mall and wealth management products to enrich your desktop. Thunder is still quite useful.
