Ma Huateng once said that the Internet will become a “traditional industry” like water and electricity.

Among them, Baidu, Ali and Tencent are the most important three poles of China’s Internet. The various services they provide constitute the infrastructure for the lives of Chinese netizens – but how much impact BAT will have on our lives. ?

We have done three experiments and hope to provide a few different perspectives to help you better understand the Chinese Internet.

For ordinary users, the most influential products of Alibaba are Taobao (Tmall) and Alipay.

One is to change the consumer retail format, and the other is to subvert the means of payment. They have also greatly changed all aspects of people’s lives. Alibaba is respected by many people in China: Ali Daddy.

In the two days of rest on Saturday and Sunday, I did a small experiment and tried to completely abandon the use of Alibaba’s products and services. Looking forward to the changes in my life.

Pre-preparation: What products does Ali have?

There are similar ideas to articles that do not use Baidu products. We still follow the following three principles:

1. Do not use direct products belonging to Ali;
2. Experience time is two days on Saturday and Sunday;
3. Mobile phones and desktops need to temporarily use Ali products.

According to the Alibaba structure, as an ordinary consumer, products and services under the umbrella of e-commerce, payment, logistics, entertainment, and innovation are often seen in our vision. Taobao, Tmall, and Alipay have profoundly affected the consumption habits of the general public, and have also changed the direction of the industry’s development.

From Ali’s product line, readers may have noticed that there is a missing social product. Why can’t Ali make a successful social software? This topic is often discussed by the industry, especially Ali and Tencent. When big companies make comparisons.

< /p>

I don’t intend to discuss social products and Ali’s development model here. In fact, Ali also tried to do social software by himself. For example, Aliwangwang, contacts, and nails, the social platforms for investing in shares also include Weibo. Momo, but there is indeed a break from the broader general social market.

Experimental phase: difficulties that were envisioned and preparations for alternatives

Before I actually started this experiment, I made a pre-judgment. Without Ali products, there may still be a lot of inconvenience in my life;

1. Daily online and offline consumption has started in a cashless state. Online shopping Taobao will use Alipay, offline breakfast, public travel and other scenarios also need Alipay, and convenient bus code. More importantly, Alipay’s flower financial services require active repayment before the monthly repayment deadline.
2. Taobao and Tmall are temporarily unavailable, and will not miss some online promotions.
3. Shrimp music acquired by Ali is my main music player. The sign-in operation to open the app every day becomes a designated “belief”.

Other less frequentThe scene of the second use, as well as the Taobao ticket application used to buy movie tickets, will watch the short video on Youku. After combing, I think that individuals should be less users of Ali products, covering only Alipay, Taobao, Tmall, Shrimp music, Taobao tickets, Youku products and services.

Reversely, friends around you have more dependence on using Ali products. They often go to Box Horse and RT-Mart. The take-away party is hungry. Send items will use Shentong Express, and mobile users often use UC. Browsers, high-tech map applications, and urban services within Alipay Ecology have become a convenient choice for many friends to pay for utilities.

Since the Ali products that you are using have been sorted out, it is necessary to look for their corresponding alternatives in order to cope with the temporarily unused state.

First and foremost is the “National Application” Alipay. The first alternative is the WeChat payment. As the two giants in the domestic online payment field, the competition between them has brought consumers a better choice. Space, such as payment offers. Alipay and WeChat payment have similar payment operation paths, and the “simple and rude” operation of sweeping the payment to complete the payment has made many international friends marvel at the development and convenience of domestic online payment methods.

The remaining products also have similar alternatives. Taobao and Tmall have Jingdong, Dangdang and Amazon as candidates. Third-party manufacturers also have their own official stores in Jingdong. Shrimp music is a big early morning. The collection, which was fully overtaken by the latecomers Netease Cloud Music and QQ Music, seems to be a better choice from both music copyright and user experience.

Tao ticket, Youku also has Guevara, cat eyes, a lot of video platforms (bilibili, Tencent video, iQiyi, etc.) as an alternative. Finally, one thing to be reminded is that since my test time was on August 17th and 18th, it was not within the deadline of the last repayment of the flower shop service, so when a friend wants to try a longer time without Ali products. Attention should be paid to the repayment dates of such financial services products. After all, this is an important record related to personal credit reporting.
