Haiyin was under a full - scale attack by online trolls across all platforms.
The comment sections of major bloggers and live - streaming rooms were in a complete mess.
Some people were sowing discord and creating group isolation.
[Do you really think bloggers are just fighting for justice? Take a look at Haiyin's back - end incentives! Isn't it the same as the Big Three platforms?]
[Didn't Haiyin claim to give users a free online space? But why are they still engaging in smear campaigns behind the scenes?]
[I'd say it's better to just go back to the Big Three platforms. At least they're straightforward about their wrongdoings. Here, it's just too hypocritical to watch.]
The trolls' human - wave attack targeted both platform users and bloggers. Trolls could be found in every field. As soon as they saw a blogger who had jumped ship from the Big Three platforms, they would start spreading rumors.
For a beauty blogger, they spread rumors that she was self - degrading and that her makeup philosophy was just to please men.
"This blogger once waved the flag of anti - feminism on TW, saying that women should give up their careers, stay at home obediently to take care of their husbands and children, and serve their husbands. Even when doing makeup, it should only be to make their husbands happy!"
Some so - called witnesses emerged: [That's right! I can prove it! I even have video screenshots!]
"You're lying! I've never done or said such things!" the blogger retorted.
"We have evidence!"
Multiple accounts posted the same spliced video screenshot, with some carefully marked lines that were extremely eye - catching.
The trolls were leading the public opinion.
The audience was shocked.
The wrongly accused blogger angrily shouted on the spot: "This is fake! It's all fake!"
But her voice was quickly drowned out by the overwhelming slander.
Bloggers in other fields were also tortured by rumors.
No matter which field they were in, as long as they had switched from the Big Three platforms, they couldn't avoid being slandered.
Big bloggers still had their fans follow them when they joined the platform, and their fans would help them clarify.
But small bloggers could only cry and shout their innocence in the face of the overwhelming rumors, feeling as if they had to cut open their stomachs to prove their innocence.
"Do you know why you're being attacked? It's because you've stolen the cake of Haiyin's established bloggers. They're unhappy with you!" said a private message.
A group of bloggers were thus led to target Haiyin's established bloggers. At the same time, the "fans of the established bloggers" also emerged and started arguing without hesitation.
[Our blogger was the first to start this field. You've stolen our traffic and still expect us to treat you well? You're daydreaming!]
Thus, the dispute between the new and established bloggers was sparked.
The fans of both sides engaged in a chaotic fight, with passers - by caught in the middle. People were particularly annoyed with the platform.
[Why is it so chaotic? I just came to surf the Internet. Why is it so dirty?]
The trolls even dragged users into the mess, using the identities of fans from both sides to harass and send abusive private messages.
Users were innocent but also angry. Everyone was filled with pent - up anger.
Everyone was eager to find an outlet for their emotions.
So the chaotic fight began. Everyone was attacking and biting at anyone they saw.
They didn't care about the consequences, as long as they could vent their anger.
Chaos, chaos everywhere.
Haiyin's content section was in turmoil.
The Big Three platforms were delighted to see this.
"Hahaha, what's this? 'You show me an inch of respect, and I'll return a foot of revenge!'"
A high - level representative from TW was proudly monitoring Haiyin's data.
"I'm sending in 200 million trolls continuously. I'll disrupt and destroy your entire content section. Weren't you trying to poach users?
"Can you hold onto them after you've taken them?"
"That's exactly what we should do. First, divide them and cut off their connections. Stir up the muddy water so that these pigs can't tell who's the enemy and who's the ally. Let everyone go into chaos, and then we can fish in troubled waters!" A colleague excitedly clapped his hands. "By then, even if they don't return to our platforms, we can build a sub - platform to take over their traffic. Maybe we can even absorb all of Haiyin's traffic!"
"No, you should build a new platform in Haiyin's name."
The colleague thought for a moment, then his eyes widened excitedly. "You mean..."
"Exactly! Build a new platform in Haiyin's name, squeeze the wallet value of these pigs in Haiyin's name, and then throw the bomb at Haiyin!"
"By then, these angry pigs will tear Haiyin to pieces!"
"You're really something! Hahaha, that's exactly what we should do. I'll go and make a plan right away and ask the higher - ups for funding!"
"This project is bound to succeed. Once Haiyin is dead, we'll divide up their advertising clients, contract projects, and take over their user base in China. Then we can take root in China!"
"Hahaha, when we integrate our 'Bubble' technology, we'll divide them into the groups we want, shape them into the way we like, manipulate their worldviews, and change their spiritual cognition!
"Let them become our livestock! Hahaha! I can't even imagine how great it'll be to trample them all under our feet!"
"Right, right! If we can seize this opportunity to bring down Haiyin, we can justifiably inherit their legacy and enter the Chinese market. Then we can gain a larger market and greater profits. No, it'll be huge profits! Profits beyond imagination! Maybe even the Congress will come to us to help them pave the way in China!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present gasped.
Their eyes were bloodshot, and their breathing was rapid.
Greedy desires were surging in their eyes and chests.
"Haiyin must die."
This was no longer just a simple event of traffic confrontation, revenge, and venting.
In the eyes of the ambitious, it was a war of ideological aggression that must be won.
It was a golden opportunity for them to maintain their prosperity in the future!
"Haiyin must die!"
They shouted, "We must make Haiyin die!"
"Act immediately!"
A group of people immediately started planning. Those who were good at writing plans were doing so. Everyone was determined to destroy Haiyin.
The company's shareholders held a meeting and decided to implement the plan. "No market is as big as the Chinese market! Even if the cost of hiring trolls for half a day reaches 70 million, it's worth it as long as we can bring down Haiyin! You can have as much money as you want. We must take down Haiyin!"
The high - level executives excitedly agreed: "We'll definitely accomplish it!"
As soon as the meeting ended, the executive wasted no time in calling out: "Increase the intensity of the troll attack! Completely destroy Haiyin's ecosystem within three days!"
"First, use the human - wave tactic to kill them!"
"Understood!"
The platform placed a large order and directly contracted the top - level attack teams for three days. More than 400 million yuan was directly transferred from the account.
The platform was both heart - pained and excited. The two parties had a video call. "Don't worry. We have plenty of trolls. Tens of millions of machines will operate simultaneously. A single sentence from each of them can drown Haiyin!"
"I believe you can complete the task in the shortest time possible. In terms of intelligent trolls, no one in the world can compete with you. Haiyin will surely die a miserable death under your attack!"
"Definitely. We not only have a large number of computers but also manual assistance. We're on standby 24 hours a day. Our phrase library is also huge, and we can respond according to the situation. It's extremely intelligent! Once we go all out, no one can withstand it!"
The high - level executive was extremely excited: "Then start quickly! Let me see what you're capable of after increasing the firepower!"
The online opinion control company smugly smiled: "Then just watch!"
At the order, tens of millions of computers in the factory started running simultaneously. A large number of pre - set remarks rushed into the Haiyin platform again. Like a terrifying text monster, they occupied everyone's live - streaming room comments and private message interfaces. The operation was dense. One by one, accounts were fighting back, and bloggers were angry, while on this side, they only needed to move their fingers.
The high - level executive couldn't help but sigh: "It's so fast. How many pigs can be crushed by this wave!"
"I really want to see how they're being dealt with."
"Then I'll give you an example."
The opinion control company switched the screen and randomly selected a violin blogger in the music field, as if picking a scapegoat.
"Just watch her break down in a while!"
