- Too many ads on WeChat Moments, scrolling through endless promotions
- Want to document life but worry about annoying others with too many posts

Summary
Moments is a very interesting project. It lets us have a "social feed" that truly belongs to us. No annoying ads, no need to worry about blocking friends—you can completely treat it as your private space for thoughts.
If you're also tired of various commercialized social platforms and want a pure personal space to record your life and share your thoughts, I highly recommend giving Moments a try.
