Under the problem of combat diagnosis of depression, there are still various unintelligible sounds.
A netizen named Luo Xiao directly yelled, this video hangs on the B-station life list first, I am too lazy to go in and see. I did not see it, because I have already guessed what it is, nothing more than “I am dying, save me”, mobilize compassion and earn a wave of gimmicks.
There was even such a voice in the comment area of my answer.
“Funny UP makes funny videos to make the audience laugh is their choice. As for whether the UP owner is crying in the bed, it has nothing to do with the laughter of the audience. This is different from the Chinese voice.” p>
“No one forced them to take the red route. To make this money, the negative impact would have to be sustained.”
Frankly, there are some twists, but they are very understandable.
I have always believed that the reason is that a young person who has not undergone strict training will be pushed to a certain industry level. After a high-density test by the camera, whoever changes it will be contradictory and twisted. So much demanding, in fact, is another kind of retreat and weakness of the audience.
This industry is highly passive in nature. It is entangled, expected, and forced. It’s almost impossible to go back to the past, it’s like jumping down to the 18th floor.
However, in the eyes of the audience, the net reds are making a lot of money and are not worthy of sympathy.
You never know, the sand sculpture bloggers who make you laugh may be hiding in the bed and crying.
In fact, famous foreign comedians are also suffering from depression.
Chaplin has achieved unassailable success in his career, but emotionally, Chaplin is far from being so smooth: his mother’s mental disorder makes him worry, and his love for his first love often makes him into painful memories, and every time The second effort to maintain the marriage that ultimately ended in failure also left him with varying degrees of trauma.
Chaplin even talked about such a true and false joke – once I asked the doctor, “Can you be optimistic about my depression?” The doctor said, “The best way is to go to the clown.” The show makes you amused.”
Chaplin answered, “I am the clown.”
In 2016, the comedian Mr. Ron Atkinson also suffered from depression. He even gave the BBC a “ban” to ban the tidbits of his own famous work, because in these tidbits, he made many stupid mistakes. Perhaps he has never been able to face these mistakes.
You think they are glamorous and ruthless.
As the “Twilight” creation talks about “The chaos in the twilight”, the real thrill is buried between the ordinary lives of ordinary people.
Last time, at the Weibo Red Man Festival in Chengdu, Li Xueqin, the little vest and the manual stalks sat together to discuss unhappy issues.
Li Xueqin said directly that unhappiness is the normal state of people. After I became a net red, I accepted my unhappiness. I used to think that I was not happy. I became a net red. I accepted that I can be unhappy. I think it is calm, it is reconciliation.
Li Xueqin even said, I am going to find some people who I think are more happy to chat. But the people I am looking for, I may think that he is more happy than me, but in fact he is not necessarily happy than me.
The interview room, which was originally a joy, because this sentence instantly fell into silence, and the pressure was low.
Yes, you think others are happy, but others are not necessarily happy.
As a friend circle in 2016, listening to songs at the bar every day, traveling abroad, the older brother, secretly wrote on Weibo that he may have depression and hope to leave Beijing. His interaction with friends and people seems to be vigorous and powerful, but on Weibo it is a loss.

A long time ago I recognized a paragraph from Yan Lianke’s interview with Southern Weekend:
Our life is often constructed by the illusory reality of external arbitrary power control. We don’t know the parents of the people in the hutong are short, nor the inner heart of the right and the life behind them, our life. Often it is being lived.
I always thought that “external arbitrary power” was a political power, but gradually realized that this power is actually from business, from customers, from fans. Even from the self-mind.
This “external arbitrary power” is actually the logic that Marcuse described in “One-Way Man”:
Power and business are turning us into sandwich cookies.
I deeply agree with Yan Lianke’s point of view. There is still an invisible life below life. Our society today is a neurotic society and an abnormal society. Most of us, who is not a mentally ill person?
Psychiatric patients were born in this commercial and self-forcing.
In Marcuse’s view, contemporary industrial society is a new type of totalitarian society because it successfully suppresses the opposition and opposition of this society and suppresses the negative, critical and transcendence in people’s hearts. The dimension of the society has made this society a one-dimensional society, and the people living in it have become one-dimensional people.
Returning to the net red economy, the bloggers of the MCN assembly line produced the funny content according to the standardization, and hoped to make their own smiles amused by the fans with great pressure on their lives, but the fans who laughed and laughed were laughing. After that, it may even be more empty. No one is really happy.
Max Weber’s “iron cage metaphor” is here again, once again. More than 100 years ago, he made prophecies in The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism:
No one knows who will be living in this iron cage… For the end of this cultural development, we can describe it like this – experts have no soul, indulgence has no heart; this The empty shell people also think that it has reached an unprecedented level of civilization.
The core of comedy is actually a tragedy. Industrial comedy is even more tragic.
When laughter becomes stress and business, the logic of tragedy begins to work.

China’s online red economy cares too little about people, at least compared to the United States.
Although there are more or less mental health problems in China-US network red, you can see the American Red Man Festival in July this year – VidCon will find that mental health is in an important position.
Because a series of American reds are also suffering from depression.
ElleMills is a Youtuber. He was exhausted after getting 1 million users last year. He was particularly frank about the pressure on the Internet and finally announced his break.
ElleMills said that during my growth, I have never had a mental health problem, but last year I was on my way to the first panic attack. I can’t make another video without addressing. I can’t pretend to be a smile.
This phenomenon is becoming more and more common, so that VidCon is taking mental health as an important issue this year – not just commercial realization.
The US tech media techcrunch wrote in a July report:
The top creators are now openly talking about mental health, and how exhausting it is to constantly create unique, high-quality content. They encourage new creators to seek a more “stable” platform (not relying on algorithms) and try not to measure their self-worth in metrics.
Vidcon’s CEO, Jim Loudderback, also spoke in an interview with BuzzFeed News that Vidcon is dealing with cyber harassment, mental health and exploitation.
He believes that the fierce dialogue at Weikang helps to create positive changes on these platforms. Through these discussions, we have brought some positive changes.
When the American Red Man’s Day talks about human care and mental health, China’s various platforms are still rushing on the road of realizing and making money, and have no concern about the psychological problems of the Reds. Even the relevant agenda was not mentioned in the public meeting.
The deep absurdity of the Chinese mass media and the net red economy is here.
