A balance of flexing with functionality
The Chinese networks offer functional/utilitarian benefits along-side social flexing (i.e., social expressions that are visible to the rest of the community).
Ways the Chinese apps encourage flexing:
- app skins and custom icons
- add icons next to their username
- have their comments show up in various colors
