# Zepto copying Blinkit is a bad sign for quick commerce differentiation

## Claim
Zepto is copying Blinkit, and I hate it: they both increased delivery charges, show wrong delivery status, and rejected my resume.

## Mechanism
When quick commerce players converge on the same operational flaws (higher fees, unreliable tracking) and even reject the same candidates, they signal a loss of competitive differentiation and a race to the bottom on user experience.
