Since the alleged "vicious" incident of Chen Shaojie, the founder and CEO of Douyu, was exposed, this turmoil not only shook the entire live broadcast industry, but also involved some top Internet celebrities. Among them, the suspension of the well-known anchor "A Small Group" has attracted widespread attention, and netizens have speculated that it may be inextricably linked to the Chen Shaojie case.
Chen Shaojie, the once-glamorous Douyu CEO, was arrested in November 2023 by the Dujiangyan Public Security Bureau in Chengdu on suspicion of opening a casino, and faces a possible prison sentence of up to five to seven years. However, the aftermath of this turmoil has not yet subsided, and another shocking news has come - "a small group" has been arrested on suspicion of large gambling.
"A small group", this anchor who is loved by fans with his unique voice, once had as many as 26 million fans on the Douyu platform, and the number of Douyin fans exceeded 37 million. Her commercial value and social influence have reached an astonishing height, and she has even become the spokesperson of a navigation voice pack, with more than 10 million users, making it one of the most popular voice packs in navigation software. However, such a high-profile anchor is now in prison for suspected large gambling.
According to relevant reports, the amount involved in the "small group" is as high as a staggering 48 million yuan, which is not only staggering, but also deeply regrettable. Her gambling behavior is not an isolated case, but is inextricably linked to the Chen Shaojie case, which can't help but make people have deep doubts about the internal operation and management of the Douyu platform.
After the news of the arrest of "A Small Tuantuan" came out, not only her personal image was seriously damaged, but also brought an unprecedented negative impact to the Douyu platform. After the Chen Shaojie incident, the Douyu platform has suffered a major blow, with the loss of top anchors, the decline in monthly active users and the average number of paying users. And the arrest of "a small group" has made the reputation of the Douyu platform fall to the bottom.
Netizens had a heated discussion about the news of the arrest of "a small group". Some people expressed disappointment and anger at her behavior, believing that as a public figure, she should lead by example and stay away from illegal activities such as gambling, while others expressed concern and regret for her future, hoping that she could deeply reflect on her mistakes and find the right path again.
This turmoil not only brought a heavy blow to the Douyu platform and the "small group" individuals, but also sounded the alarm for the entire live broadcast industry. As a public figure, you should always keep a clear head and correct values, and stay away from any violations of laws and regulations. At the same time, live streaming platforms should also strengthen the management and supervision of anchors to ensure that they can comply with laws, regulations and social ethics norms, and provide healthy and positive live content for viewers.
