Chapter 6 – Dcard (2)

     Last week l introduced a popular app among college students - Dcard. Although this app have been downloaded for over one million times, I pointed two disadvantages last week and I am going to pointed other disadvantages.

*Meaningless Articles
The original intention of Dcard is to communicate with other students and exchange useful information. However, as the time goes there are more and more meaningless articles and make the quality of Dcard getting lower and lower. Some people feel upset to saw this kind of situation and do not want to use the app at all.

*Age Limit
Users have to register their e-mail of college so that can upload the articles and draw cards. According to the statistic of Ministry of Education, there are about one million people study in college now. However, there are just forty thousand people register now, and means that even they are not a college students, they can easily download the app. Frankly speaking, some categories of Dard are not suitable for people under eighteen, although those people can not upload articles, they can still browse all of articles. I think it might cause problems because if some teenagers imitate the inappropriate behaviors in the articles of Dcard. So I believe that it is need to have the regulation of the user's age limit.
       
     Some of you might think I am to exaggerate to just argue an app, but I think even just a small thing can cause unpredictable outcomes. Moreover, we live in an Internet world, everything can spread every fast, so that we should judge a thing more carefully and even an app.

  1. I think the Age Limit is not the disadvantage. Dcard is the app that provides to the college students, so I think the members should also be limited. Although the members are limited by age, students under college can also read the articles without loading the account. What I say is only my idea don't be too serious~ maybe next time you can talk more your other ideas about Dcard in your next blog XD
