It's a bank! It's a dating app! It's a video hosting service, a town square, a shopping mall, a floor wax AND a dessert topping! Why go anywhere else? Just stare at the middle of the big shiny X until it makes sense!

Lol, he wants it to be wechat but forgets that everyone uses it because its a government sanctioned monopoly.

No one wants a dating/chat/payment/microbloging/uber app.
