Initial mini program categories include: * Games * News * Merchandise * Ticket Sales * VIP Hospitality * Gambling Fans can: * follow or unfollow mini programs * communicate directly with brands * share mini programs with friends * receive translated content automatically Brands can communicate directly with followers within platform communication limits designed to prevent spam and preserve user experience.
