B station is a magical land. It not only provides a barren growing soil for various subcultures, but also a magical phenomenon. The phenomenon is very popular among young people –

“We used to sneak up on station B during class. Now we find that big homes are secretly attending class B?”

“What website is your B station? It really benefits people! Who is the webmaster, come out! You study on it all day long, the future is bright…”

Mom, really, I am learning at the B station.

Can you learn at Station B?

Since you are studying at Station B, what courses are you studying?

The number of bacteria is classified by subject, and the video tags under the “Speech·Open Class” section of Station B in the year before October 21, 2019 are crawled, and the subjects with more than 3000 videos are selected. A popular subject course.

As the saying goes, “All roads pass through CS”, the most popular subject class in B station is also computer science, with a total of 248,000 videos, more than three times the second English course.

The most popular video tags in this subject category reflect the current trends – “programming”, “artificial intelligence”, “deep learning”, “AI”.

In this era when even primary school students must learn programming, if college students don’t understand programming, how can they mix after graduation?

Programming is not so eager to learn, and English is the pain that Chinese students are lingering. Among them, the biggest pain is the “speak” in “speaking, reading and writing” – the number of labels on spoken and pronunciation is at the forefront of English learning courses.

In order to overcome these difficulties, some people moved to TED speeches, American drama decomposition, and foreign language intensive readings. Some people also said that they shared their English learning in “26 days to finish 7000 words”, “IELTS 8 points”, and “9 years in the United States”. Experience; there is no shortage of glutinous nuts to teach in person.

In addition to English, “Design” is one of the must-have skills of contemporary college students, and the number of courses is ranked third. From graphic design, UI design to industrial design, architectural design, to more professional and niche landscape design, hardware mold design… related courses can be found on the B station.

In addition, college students also have a strong interest in the second foreign countries. The three most popular foreign languages ​​are Japanese, French and Korean. Accounting is a practical and valuable industry, and it also has a huge number of videos. More and more people choose to obtain the teacher qualification certificate, and the number of videos related to “education” has soared.

Learning on the Internet, the courses of famous teachers are naturally popular.

At the B station, the most popular is the open class of Peking University. Its “Abnormal Psychology” has collected more than 3 million hits, almost half of the total video broadcast of Peking University courses, and also gained 2.4. Ten thousand barrage and 512,000 collections.

There are more than one million courses in Fudan, Tsinghua, MIT, and Yale.

Tsinghua University’s “Organic Chemistry” and “General Physics” by Yang Zhenning have all harvested more than 700,000 plays. Fudan University’s most popular courses in addition to “mathematical analysis”, as well as the network red philosophy department teacher Chen Guo’s “Autism” and “Love Theory”, harvested fans and countless fans.

MIT is known for its “algorithm and artificial intelligence” at Station B. The most popular Yale University is “Game Theory” and “Philosophy.”

In addition to these “academic” open classes, there are many things to learn under the “Wild Technology Association” division.

After the word frequency analysis of the title of the relevant divisional course, we found that the word “tutorial” appeared more than 30,000 times, not only “homemade” but also “handling”, only one thousand from YouTube. Times.

These tutorials are mostly easy to use. The words “basic”, “simple” or even “one minute” often appear in the title, and people have the urge to learn.

PS, AE, AI and other software for design are still hot in this area, and there is a trend to contract Adobe’s whole family bucket tutorial. Courses in camera photography are also very comprehensive, from basics to editing, color matching, special effects, and transitions.

Python must also have a name as one of the most popular computer languages ​​in recent years. Remember the Python ad in the circle of friends? This may be the most popular advertisement for many college students and professionals, and even became a large-scale recognition site for friends.

When you start school, learning is most motivating

In fact, the behavior of college students in class B is not a temporary rise.

I believe many people have heard of the word “Mu Class”. Since 2012, China has begun to build a system of MOOCs. At present, the number and application scale of MOOCs has become the number one in the world.

Some well-known MOOC platforms, such as Netease Cloud Classroom and Chinese University MOOC, were completed in 2012-2014. Netease Open Class was even launched as early as 2010. [1]

In the post-90 and after 00 for the user’s main station B [2], it is not surprising that college students watch videos on it. Although there are copyright issues in many videos, the number of videos and the number of viewers are still rising.

In the past year, for example, the number of videos under the “Speech·Open Class” section continues to increase every day, and it can be seen from the summary by month.

The two obvious troughs in the number of video uploads are February and June. This aspect is related to the time of the course start. On the other hand, it can be seen that the UP owners are also lighting up during the test month. Upload a video.

The winter vacation is too short. I have to visit relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, and I don’t have much time to study. The summer vacation shows a different situation: since June, the number of video uploads has soared and continued until the September school season.

It seems that everyone regards the summer vacation as “the best time to surpass the opponent”, and a large number of demands have also prompted the UP owners to work hard.

At the B station, the teacher gave a serious lecture, and the students were very happy. They brushed up the barrage, just like the students who whispered in class and would not be named.

So what is the content of these whispers?

Partitioning of “speech and public class”The 11216 high-frequency vocabulary of the trapped curtains was sorted out, and it can be found that the barrage can be roughly divided into the following categories:

The most popular one is the modal particle “hahaha”. Anyone who has listened to the online class at a small break station will find that as long as the teacher has a strong accent, or a slip of the mouth and a sudden burst, the barrage will appear overwhelming. “Ha ha ha ha ha ha”, sweeping the serious atmosphere of the classroom.

Besides, the common modal particles are “2333” and “哎”. No way, learning is a bitter errand.

Laughter laughs, the cloud students in the small break station are still very serious. For example, the class teacher “good teacher” is indispensable. When the class is over, it will also send a “hard work” to the hoarse teacher.

When there is a god-level operation in the classroom, the students never regret that they click on the hand of “666”. Behind the full screen of “big bang” and “powerful” are a saint who offered knees. .

There is also a description of the experience of listening to the class: the front row of the schoolmaster may feel “simple”, choose “double speed” to watch; the back row can only sigh: “no” and ask “why” with a question mark What”.

B station cloud teaching has “hegemony” and “slag”, and there are also people who sit on the side of the road and applaud and cheer. They not only pray that their exams will “make”, but also pull a “must give up”. “Partners”, together, “persistence” efforts to “rush” forward.

The barrage under the “Wild Technology Association” division is much more wild than the barrage of the subject curriculum.

In the 9991 high-frequency barrage words, the modal particles are much more pronounced. The “hahaha” of the iron hit is still at the top of the list, “ah ah ah” “lying trough” “2333” “嘤” shows the various moods when watching the video.

The evaluation of video content has also increased significantly, such as “good-looking”, “praise”, “severe”, “miao”, “cute”, “handsome”, “hard core”, or “bad review” and “devil”.

In addition to this, the “winning rate” frequently appears, it seems that the Wild Technology Association is a partition with frequent benefits.

What is confusing is that there are many relationship titles, such as “wife”, “brother”, “sister”, or the symbol “♂”, which represents men, and learns to learn different feelings.


It’s really hard to stick to it,

Although the resources of Station B are very rich, the students are very happy to see it, but how many people actually see the series of video ends?

In order to answer this question, the number of bacteria in the first episode and the last episode of the “Speech·Open Class” and “Wild Technology Association” sub-division series (videos composed of multiple episodes) The number of bombardment screens is sorted from the most to the least, and the courses related to the subject are selected. After comparative calculation, the students’ learning situation is roughly reflected.

The difference between the number of the first and last sets of barrage is relatively small. The number of such courses is about 10 episodes. The number of such courses is about 10 episodes, and they all have the effect of “taking the pre-examination”, which is quick and rewarding in a short time. The rate is high, and even if the content is a little difficult, there is motivation to learn.

But some courses that are more theoretical, do not see obvious returns in the short term, and have a large number of collections, even if they are attractive at the beginning, it is not easy to insist on learning.

For example, Peking University’s most popular course, Abnormal Psychology, has only 13.625% of the final episode and the first episode, and the last episode has only one hundred barrage. The final set of the MIT Introduction to Algorithms less than 1% of the first episode.

It seems that no matter where you study,It’s hard to escape the fate of halfway (or even halfway).

Compared with the traditional learning method based on text symbols such as books, the “video + barrage + comment” learning method provides more direct, easy to understand and more stimulating audiovisual symbols, which can reduce the psychological burden of students. The illusion of “mastering a course is actually very easy.”

More importantly, the barrage makes it clear that at the other end of the computer screen, some young people like you are connected. When they don’t understand, they will ask “why” and understand the meeting. Have a sense of accomplishment, will inadvertently notice some details and then spit and laugh out loud.

In this relaxed and fun atmosphere, everyone is arrogant in setting up a variety of flags when they open a course, determined to punch the cards every day, but in the end these courses are hard to escape in the favorites. The fate of eating gray was not even opened a second time.

Although it is very difficult to complete a course, if you can stick to the end of the cantilever, you will be able to bathe in the brilliance of knowledge, and have achieved great achievements and gains.

For example, the data in this article is that I climbed down after learning Python in B station (in fact, I only learned “Hello, world!”).
