I was unfortunate enough to be pulled into the water army group for two days

I remember one day in February 2020, a person added my WeChat, and then was pulled into a group, the group name is very tall, in order not to cause trouble, do not mention the full name of the group, remember what is called "unity around so-and-so".

I asked the group leader, what is this group for?

The group owner returns to me, top stickers, brush stickers, control comments, don't ask anything else, there is money to earn on the line.

I said isn't this a troll?

Someone replied to me, you can also call it that.

I couldn't help but be shocked, it turned out that there was such a group!

Then the group leader will give up the task:

@ Everyone: The above requires us not to blindly oppose that event, so as to reduce traffic and affect everyone's income, so we must send support posts, further drainage, let the other party's fans support, and then we go to oppose, quickly increase the amount of reading, after the post is posted, we must forward more, the original post should be posted on major platforms, the writing is good, you can click to receive the task.

I said isn't this playing scissors and forks ?

Someone replied, don't talk too much, remember, everything is for the traffic. The harsher the comments, the better, and if you want to be a water army, you must speak with a clear conscience.

I said that will not be deleted?

Someone replied to me, what to be afraid of, delete and then send, nothing more than a waste of time, and do not spend your money, what we pursue is a win-win situation, no matter what, black and white traffic is ours.

To be honest, I was already terrified at the moment, and the original traffic was operated like this.

In fact, I write here, I want to tell you that seeing those emergencies on the Internet, in fact, is not a sudden, but the public relations department of the network water army has long planned it, some of them are responsible for collecting information, organizing articles, some are responsible for controlling and evaluating, and now you know why the comments of those water army are the same, right?

Organize an article with your own people to attack a specific object, and then the person responsible for the review will send the comments they need to the group, and the following people can copy and paste it into the comment area of the specified article, and then send a screenshot back to the group to prove that they have completed the task.

If you encounter different opinions, you will attack them in groups, and the worse the language, the more it can be praised by the group owners, and the more you can get money. The lazy, the soft-hearted, and the conscientious cannot do this job.

To be honest, I really can't stand this atmosphere, and I have been tepid in the face of the threat of the group owner, and I have been ridiculed by countless people. Nevertheless, I know that to be a man you must have a conscience, and you cannot betray your personality for a few cents.

There were also some small water soldiers who wanted to touch the fish in muddy waters, and spoke in the group, saying that I went to scold the man.

Then, the owner of the group asked him to take a screenshot as proof, he could not send it out. So the owner of the group warned him that if he committed another offense, he would be punished, but if you could pull three people into the group, this time there would be no blame.

Because there are regulations in the group, no matter who can pull three people into the group, you can have a reward of two dollars, but this guy who lied about military information, even if he pulled three people into the group, did not have a penny, and could only offset the credit.

In this environment, it is really very depressing, and I resolutely chose to withdraw from the group, but I also learned what a water army is from now on.

So how did the organized water army team deal with opponents outside their team?

It's simply too simple for them to apply what they're good at to their opponents:

Rumor-mongering, smearing, rambling, insulting, and then personal attacks, the main ones are screenshots, key points, and intensive reporting until you delete the post, and even until you ban the account.

Even they can't tolerate the existence of people who hold the same opinion outside their team, because that will compete for their traffic, but they also look at whether the other party is a big coffee or a nobody, if it is a nobody, it can be ignored, if it is an influential big guy, then there is a need to strike.

So they pretended to be gentlemen and used the same language to attack each other, so let the poster feel that there are many trolls and levers on the Internet now, in fact, they are the same group of people, and their purpose is only one, to suppress you and drive you away! Because you're fighting for their traffic.

Now you should understand why some people on the Internet always turn their hands to the clouds and cover their hands for the rain, right? Its purpose is ultimately only for the flow of traffic, to exclude dissidents, solipsism. Where is there any patriotic feeling, where is there any so-called positive energy? At the end of the day, it's just about making traffic.

The network water army has full-time, part-time, and guerrilla groups, and the so-called guerrillas are self-made. To put it bluntly, it is only "self-drying" without "five", that is to say, he is just venting his emotions, and no one has given him the fifty cents. But such people will soon be sucked into the ranks of the water army . At this point, everyone should understand why the water army of the network is growing vigorously, making people overwhelmed, right?

There is also a kind of most tragic and unlucky water army guerrilla called leek. It is specially for others to tip. Because in the eyes of the water army, the leeks are specially used to be harvested, the real water army does not tip, only the brainwashed leeks go to the tip, the water army is specially waiting for others to tip. The water army on the network can turn their hands into clouds, overturn their hands for rain, and play with the light dance, while the leeks are cloudy and brainwashed, so only the brains are called leeks, and the real water army looks down on the leeks, because they are both ignorant and brainless. Sending their hard-earned money to other people's pockets like chicken blood, the sailors who cut leeks will not only not be grateful to them, but will scorn them while counting the tickets, scorning them with a sb.

But in the final analysis, the Internet is not a place outside the law, and the clear action of the State Internet Information Office has been going on, so netizens should polish their eyes, keep the bottom line of being a person, go online in a civilized manner, and do not sell their personality for the sake of small profits.
