description: "$Alibaba(BABA.US) actually really wants to say it but is too embarrassed to say it: who came up with this magical marketing method of giving out takeout coupons for downloading an AI software? The investment is huge, the user retention is probably abysmal, and it's all just people trying to get freebies."

- **Devin丶 · 2026-03-05T08:32:01.000Z**: Personally, I think it's trying to seize the first step in AI shopping, but it should target Generation Z.
- **富元 · 2026-03-05T08:04:14.000Z**: You are smart from Alibaba's marketing department
- **新用户_Jerry · 2026-03-05T07:41:18.000Z**: Qianwen's New Year subsidy campaign even leaked the data of over 5 million users aged 60 and above. Aren't they afraid of being scolded to death? What's there to be proud of! Are users over 60 likely to make repeat purchases? Will they continue using it? Aren't they all just trying to get freebies?
- **SUKI · 2026-03-05T07:16:31.000Z**: Doubao is still the best, love using Doubao
- **SPMO+QLD定投15年 · 2026-03-05T01:06:15.000Z**: Qianwen... My WeChat friend told me to download it, there's a red packet,
- **爱吃菠萝包的猫 · 2026-03-04T23:13:45.000Z · 👍 1**: Want to get freebies, download, fail to get them, uninstall, all in one go.
- **财不入急门福不入偏门 · 2026-03-04T19:47:46.000Z · 👍 2**: Yeah, AI isn't a high-frequency software.
- **冰阔乐真的好喝 · 2026-03-04T19:45:55.000Z · 👍 2**: In this regard, it's completely inferior to Doubao. Doubao is deeply integrated with Douyin, and even its personified image has become a viral internet IP, with memes and fan creations everywhere.
- **众神 · 2026-03-04T18:56:49.000Z · 👍 3**: We were going to keep subsidizing the flash sales anyway, isn't this killing two birds with one stone?
  - **纳斯达克的镰刀** (2026-03-05T07:13:13.000Z): Isn't this subsidy money coming from Qianwen? For Qianwen, it's a loss, and it fattens the food delivery business without being counted in Qianwen's KPI.
