Contextualization, the breakout of the Internet in the second half

Although traffic fraud is a tacit thing in the industry, “a zombie stage drama directed by a new media giant”, the real scene, the fuse: a video that bursts red all night, our traffic is 0! With its pungent style, it is still brushed.
On Weibo, there are 30,000 entertainment stars and more than 400,000 KOLs. On the commercial realization, Weibo relies heavily on them. This is related to Weibo’s profit model. The bloggers will post advertisements through Weibo’s official “micro-task” system, and the revenue will be divided into Weibo. Although Weibo officially claimed to “resolutely crack down on all kinds of data-swapping behaviors”, at present, it only has closed accounts and banned the posting of spam accounts, and set the forwarding and comment volume display limit to 1 million+ to suppress the brushing behavior. . This is tantamount to boiling water: if you do not increase the intensity of the real-name system, the virtual carrier number can be easily used for non-real name registration, a large wave of zombies can come back at any time.
Because of the binding of such interests, the phenomenon of fake traffic rampant and bad money expelling good money, Weibo is hard to blame. The author believes that the ultimate victims of this farce are ordinary consumers and ordinary users. Unreliable products and water-feeding praises will interfere with making wrong consumer decisions.
