Not sure about other things you said, but is it true that QQ sucks?

QQ supports over hundreds millions online users every day, and numerous group chat rooms at the same time. QQ is far more advanced than any IM softwares outside of China.

Really? Full of ads, automatic censorship, scummy monetization strategies, a ton of bundled bloatware. And it is an ICQ ripoff anyway.

How so?
