This isn't an argument. In most countries you have some local competitors that do better than global brands. Not every app has to be a global success to be high

Korea has KakaoTalk that's undefeated as the defacto chat app (and now search engine and payment provider). It's not doing well in every other place except Korea.
Japan has LINE as it's primary messenger, payment app, etc. It has some foot in other south-east asian countries but the strongpoint is still Japan.
- ejanus 6y agoI am not ruling out your points, they are sound and I agree with them. But look at it this way, you have 100 companies and all of them failed woefully in only one particular market. This doesn't look like natural event , it looks more like a biased coin.
- mariojv 6y agoLINE is owned by a South Korean company, so it's not really a good example of a local brand.
