- dmoy 10y agoHow does wechat monetize, or does Tencent just eat the cost?
- angryasian 10y agoI don't know how wechat monetizes but Line has been fairly successful with sticker sales and pushing apps. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/LN https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/LN
- wapz 10y agoLine makes TONS of money from their apps. I'm not sure how much their stickers make. I read a story about the average user spending $12 for line run/jump (not sure what the name was, but some infinite runner or jumping game).
- yueq 10y agowechat monetization is mobile gaming. A single game can generate $20M+ per month and wechat have many of them.
- automatwon 10y agoDid they 'move' to Wechat? I went to school and made friends with chinese students. They were already on WeChat, and made a Facebook account after coming to the U.S. I agree, though, that they seem to have left Facebook.
- acchow 10y agoI see everyone using FB in southeast Asia. As for China, I don't think most people can access FB? Don't you need a VPN?
