In the age of BBS, everyone on the Internet is equal, and you have high respect in Post A, and you can’t let you call the storm in Post B. Now, the status of the Internet world can be accumulated just like the real society, “Thanks for invitation, big V”, etc. Identity authentication has also allowed netizens to distinguish three or six or nine.
In the BBS era, everyone quickly gathers together to communicate because of various interests, but now, everyone’s interests are split by apps and isolated from each other. The same digital zone has Weibo, B station, and Zhihu. Every Each content author is forced to have several clones, and all the interests of the niche group have long since gone through such a rough split.
In the early days of BBS, everyone watched professional people post professional posts, commonly known as the PGC era. In the later stage of BBS, everyone can mingle with professional people. For example, the page of “Reporter’s House” in Xici Hutong once became the most famous community in China’s media industry, and the moderator eventually went to Meihua.com as the president. That was the UGC era, and now, everyone is brainlessly following the algorithm, watching unprofessional people make professional-looking content, and it is called the PUGC era. Think about it, how can a person know everything? ? If he is really so good, why bother to make videos here?
Then why is there such a seemingly progressive regression? Because BBS has a paradox: if the commercial value of BBS is not discovered, then it will not be able to develop, and once it is discovered, then it must be abused. Therefore, only by splitting the content can it survive. The branches and leaves, after all, survival or death, this has always been a problem.
In the days that followed, whenever I started to have a hobby or wanted to follow a hobby, I would naively look forward to posting it and whether I could return to its previous prosperity. Finally, I realized that I would never scold others again. It’s not because I’m mature, and it’s not because I don’t have any hobbies anymore, but because the post bar is gone. So it’s a great luxury to be able to argue with people with the same hobby, because when all of us stop expressing opinions , We are no longer us, and the Internet will no longer exist.
