Dropbox and AirBnB had the added value of being simpler use than whatever they replaced.

Wish does not have that. The shopping experience on Aliexpress is similar if not better and it is backed by Alibaba so it will only grow. Wish capitalizes on low customer expectations and dirt cheap prices. There is nothing in that business model that can't be easily copied by another Chinese company.

Wish has their own warehousing and inventorying as well though. It’s not a pure AliExpress wrapper. Don’t get me wrong though, I’m not a fan of Wish.
