Accustomed to QQ, I once had a strong rejection of WeChat, and felt that a social tool was enough.
Unexpectedly, after 7 years, the number of users of WeChat has exceeded 65.438+0 billion.
According to the data presented by Zhang Xiaolong in "202 1 wechat open course PRO":
Every day, 65.438+0.09 billion users open WeChat, and 330 million users make video calls. 780 million users entered the circle of friends, and 65.438+0.2 billion users published the circle of friends, including 670 million photos and 65.438+0 billion short videos. 360 million users read articles on official WeChat accounts, and 400 million users use applets. ...
Wechat has become a huge social tool and a part of everyone's life, and the QQ I once supported has long been forgotten.
I have forgotten the last time I opened QQ, but what is certain is that I opened WeChat a few minutes ago and browsed my circle of friends.
But in my circle of friends, there are few traces of friends. They are gradually disappearing.
In the first few years of WeChat, the circle of friends mainly recorded life and occasionally forwarded some chicken soup for the soul.
Later, fewer and fewer articles were forwarded, even if they were forwarded, they were "pollution-free" articles, such as some articles about their hometown and their own circles.
Articles that are "unfavorable" to yourself, such as those that hit your weakness and express your feelings, will be silently put into favorites.
There are fewer and fewer selfies and recent photos in the circle of friends. Last year, the circle of friends was set to be visible for only 3 days.
There are fewer and fewer friends in the circle of friends. Those who are still active in the circle of friends are selling clothes, skin care products, houses, members, insurance and courses. ...
The breath of life gradually dissipates.
Personal-to-personal chats are gradually decreasing, and there are more and more WeChat groups, including reading groups, writing groups, leisure groups, community hospitals, hitchhiking groups, work groups, group buying groups, pet groups, real estate groups, insurance groups, dog walking groups and fishing groups. ...
To tell you the truth, I chat with the file transfer assistant the most frequently now.
The WeChat circle of friends is no longer like a circle of friends, but has become a marketing circle. Everyone has their own marketing needs. As long as you meet my needs in one respect, then you need to exist.
On the contrary, friends seem to become unnecessary.
So, where have all the friends in the circle of friends gone?
