    For a long time, the media has been a “small and beautiful” business. Self-sufficiency is acceptable, but it cannot form a scale effect because it cannot be separated from content and traffic, nor can it jump out of advertising and value-added services. This model has obvious ceiling and insufficient growth, and is not favored in the secondary market. In the context of a weak advertising market and a fading venture capital wave, the three parties’ road ahead is still difficult.
