Tencent Iqiyi finally gave in, but it was a pity that it changed its medicine. If you look closely, you will find that Tencent and Iqiyi's advance on-demand has not been cancelled, but the rules have changed.
Tencent video members can watch 6 episodes in advance, and their rights and interests remain unchanged. 3 yuan's extra right to watch six episodes in advance is no longer the setting of paying 50 yuan more to watch six episodes. Iqiyi has also revised the rules of ordering in advance, so that VIPs can watch 6 episodes in advance and watch 6 episodes at the price of 3 yuan per episode. Changing the soup without changing the medicine has increased the price we need to pay. This kind of behavior is really helpless! Tencent and iQiyi think that video charges are too cheap compared with other countries. To know the foreign prices, the unit prices in Southeast Asia, Thailand and Vietnam may be higher than ours, and no country is lower than the price of 265,438 US dollars +0 months.
So, are Iqiyi and Tencent really extremely low membership prices? Otherwise, they won't choose to raise prices. I won't choose this idea of VVIP!
However, what you need to know is that this VIP-based price increase is just a way to exclude consumers. Through this price increase, not only do our consumers not get more benefits, but it is more likely for us to make us unwilling to use these video apps.
Therefore, if Tencent and iQiyi don't make video software requirements that are more suitable for the domestic consumer market, it is likely that we will abandon them directly.
