Wish is hardly the first e-commerce app to track every customer click—Amazon built a $200 billion annual sales colossus on precisely this sort of data. Taking dead aim at Wish, Amazon recently launched a “Bargain Finds” section. Meanwhile, in his efforts to throw heat at China, Donald Trump could upend the deal that makes shipping for some Wish merchants so cheap. If the merchants agreed, Wish pinged its users to say the product they liked was now available for a discount on Wish. To tackle this, Wish automatically culls about 8 million products over a week, or close to 3% of all products available on the site.
