Open the mobile game, I wanted to relax, but I didn't think about it but was upset by the advertisement. Nowadays, various advertisements implanted in some mobile applications have reached the point of affecting the normal use of users. Not only will the elderly who are not familiar with mobile phones be recruited, but even young people will not be spared. Some of these ads even have hidden traps, targeting your pockets with money.
Whether it's playing a game or watching an advertisement
"Zhang Rui! Come and help me! As soon as he heard his grandmother call his name, Zhang Rui took three steps and made two steps to rush from the hut. Originally worried that the old man had fallen, he found herself fiddling with the tablet in her hand.
"You see, my Sudoku got stuck and it became like this." The Sudoku that Grandma said was a small game that Zhang Rui had downloaded on her tablet before. There was no problem when I played it before, but today I don't know how, it has become a promotional video for another game. Zhang Rui fiddled with it for half a day, and he didn't know how to quit the game commercial, so he could only use the method of quitting all and then re-entering.
After re-entering the game, the interface finally returned to normal, and Zhang Rui went back to the room. But not long after, I heard my grandmother's shout again. Zhang Rui came over to take a look, and advertisements for other games were put on the tablet.
With two problems in a row, Zhang Rui must figure out what is going on this time. He quit the game again and re-entered, sitting on the side watching the old man play. At first, there was no problem, but while playing, an advertising icon suddenly popped up on the interface. Grandma pointed to the icon and said that this thing had just appeared, and she "jumped out" at a point.
Zhang Rui looked carefully for half a day before he found a small "fork" in the upper right corner of the advertising icon, and finally turned off the advertisement after clicking. But before long, a new commercial came out of the game. Cancel again and will come back later. Each ad, the point "fork" cancellation position is different. Zhang Rui can still see clearly, but for the old man whose eyes are not very good, it is almost impossible to click to cancel.
What makes Zhang Rui wonder is that before grandma played tablets every day, she had never encountered these advertising problems, how did it suddenly appear today? After investigation, he found that when his aunt came to visit the door yesterday, he opened the wireless network of the tablet and went on the network for a while. When the wireless network was not turned on before, the mini-games on the tablet can also be played normally, and there will be no ads. But once the network is turned on, these mini-games immediately become "advertising trash cans", and one pops up every few minutes.
"When I first downloaded this game, I didn't remember these ads." Zhang Rui did not understand in the end how these advertisements came out halfway. But at least, turn off the wireless network, the game is finally clean again, and Grandma's problem is solved.
As soon as you touch it, you can't stop downloading it
The elderly are not skilled in the use of smart devices, and it is understandable to fall into the advertising pit. And some of the ads in the app, even young people are invincible.
Brushing your mobile phone before going to bed is Wu Chen's habit. He likes sports, and usually logs on to some sports forum Apps to see the news hotspots of the day and the posts of other netizens. But in the past month, he found that the ads of an app he used more and more had become more and the implantation method had become a bit "rogue".
Previously, the ads of this App would basically only appear when the screen was opened, and after clicking "Skip", you could enter the normal browsing message of the App. But now, not only will there be advertisements on the open screen, but there will also be advertisements in several posts on the home page, and even click into a post, and there are advertisements inserted between the netizens' replies. Ads and other replies are also very similar in style, which is difficult to distinguish at first glance.
What makes Wu Chen speechless the most is that these advertisements, as long as the finger is accidentally clicked, will immediately jump to the download page, directly open the download, and even "whether you need to jump" and "whether you need to download" such as the prior inquiry, can not be stopped. In just a few days, Wu Chen was "forced" to download at least seven or eight ads. Most of them are games, and a few are shopping platforms or video platforms.
An App commonly used by Wu Chen, if you accidentally click on an advertisement, you will automatically jump to the download page to start downloading
The reporter also tried to use the app, and found that the advertising link inside seemed to be "particularly sensitive" to the touch of the finger. Even the most common finger swipe-up operation, if you accidentally click on the ad, you will jump to the download page to start the download. In addition, the opening screen advertisement is also set up with the function of "shake a shake" will jump, when opening the App, the mobile phone must remain static, otherwise it is easy to enter the advertisement.
The advertising implantation in this app is also very routine, the advertisement always "happens by chance", every time the finger slides, you have to be careful whether there will be an advertisement hidden underneath. In the upper right corner of each advertisement, there will be a canceled "fork" button, after clicking, you can also select "too many ads" to complain to the platform. But the reporter just finished selecting "too many ads" when browsing the previous post, and the next post appeared exactly the same ad.
Sending private messages to solicit customers is actually gambling
In addition to the ads that come with the app, the private mail boxes of many social apps have also become the hardest hit areas of advertising. Among them, some private messages look like fraudulent advertisements at first glance, and some are cloaked in a layer of camouflage, which looks normal on the surface, but in fact is lured step by step.
Wu Chen once received a private message: "On the XXX website, watch the ball together!" Basketball and football, there are everything you need. Originally thought to be a piece of spam, but after trying to enter the URL in the private message in the browser, Wu Chen really entered a sports live broadcast platform. As said in the private message, the matches here are very complete, and there are several anchors broadcasting each game. Click on a football game and watch it normally.
"It seems that other platforms are pulling users." Wu Chen didn't think much of it in his heart, but when he looked at it, he found that something was wrong. On the live screen, there will be all kinds of strange numbers and symbols, and the anchor is not very serious about explaining the game, but always pays attention to a few yellow cards on the field, and the two sides get a few corners. Change a live broadcast room, and the anchor has done promotion. "Please download xx software from friends in the live broadcast room, the platform first charge to send benefits, the first order also send package compensation." The anchor will push orders in the group, and everyone will buy balls together to make money. ”
After changing several live broadcast rooms in a row, Wu Chen understood that these anchors seemed to be broadcasting the game for the audience, but they were actually pulling customers for a gambling website. Each anchor claims to be "predicting god", and following him can make money by betting.
Wu Chen did not know much about gambling before, but he had also heard stories of some gamblers who had lost their homes because of gambling, so he was very disgusted by the anchor's behavior of attracting others to gamble. In fact, Wu Chen only watched one game, and he had already seen an anchor lose money without guessing the "number of goals" and "corner numbers" in succession, which was not at all like the previous bragging about being able to "make a lot of money".
Just wanted to quit the live broadcast room, Wu Chen also saw an interesting scene. One of the viewers in the live broadcast room, obviously dissatisfied with the anchor's behavior of hyping up gambling sites, criticized a few words on the bullet screen. Probably because he had just lost money, the anchor actually began to scold. "If you don't buy a ball, roll it for me!" The live broadcast then broke up.
Credulous dating advertising money hit the water
The hidden cat greasy in the advertisement is more than this, the reporter found that some netizens because of the credulity of a dating App advertisement, and finally "boyfriend and girlfriend" was not found, and the money was also adrift.
The reporter downloaded and tried this dating App, and in the first step of registration, he fully realized the app's intention to "screen users". The screen clearly reads: "Please fill in your annual income, fill in truthfully to help dating." ”
After entering the App, the reporter did not do anything, and a young woman came up to "talk" and asked the reporter which city he was currently in. Before they could reply, several more women came to the door.
However, as more and more people came to talk, the reporter also found strange places. These women's greeting techniques are very similar, basically "where" and "dating", which look like robot messages. After the reporter replied, the other party did not answer again. After seven or eight "women" in a row, the reporter just wanted to reply, but a line appeared on the screen: "The conditions for private chat are insufficient, she set a private chat threshold of 100 gold coins to send gifts." Then the reporter was asked to recharge, and on this platform, 90 gold coins will cost 29 yuan, that is to say, the reporter has not talked about a word, you have to pay a threshold fee of more than 30 yuan.
In the dating app, without a word, I began to ask for money
What made the reporter cry and laugh even more was that the reporter temporarily withdrew from the App, and after 10 minutes of re-entering, he actually found that the previous greeting record with the "beautiful woman" was missing. Click on the visit record, which also shows 0, and you can't even find who you were talking to just now.
On the black cat complaint platform, there are also many complaints about this app. According to the screenshots provided by netizens, in addition to directly setting the gold coin threshold to ask you for money, there are also "dating objects" who obviously know how to put long-term fishing for big fish, first chat, and then trick netizens into brushing gifts, and then black, the whole process is completed in one go. In the face of netizens' demands for "refunds", because the app did not enter the black cat complaint platform, and finally did not know whether netizens recovered their money.
