Mr. Wang from Nanjing wanted to buy a second-hand bicycle for his girlfriend on Xianyu, but he didn't expect an amazing scene.
He asked the buyer: how long can this car be ridden?
The other person replied: 30.
This answer scratches his head, 30 days, 30 years? That's a strange number.
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Wang asked the other party to take a picture of the live situation of the car, but he didn't expect to know it if he didn't see it, and he was shocked when he saw it.
The other party sent not a bicycle at all, but a private photo of a beautiful girl!
"I just want to buy a car, why are you sending me a private photo?"
At this time, Mr. Wang realized that something was wrong, what kind of car is this? Isn't that just engaging in shady dealings?
He immediately took a screenshot to report it, and after closing the page, he still had palpitations.
It's obviously a second-hand trading platform, but how did it become a red light district in the new era? Salted fish, how many other things do you know that we don't know?
01: Selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, idle fish turns into yellow croaker in seconds
Miss Liu from Zhejiang wanted to put her second-hand bicycle on Xianyu to sell, but she didn't expect that she immediately received one filthy message after another, which made her second monk scratch her head.
"I'm just selling a car, who am I offending about?"
When she opened the social software to search for Xianyu, she found that there are many people who sell dog meat on sheep's heads and sell improper services in the name of selling cars.
A lot of people ran in the wrong place, and even those who sold cars seriously got slandered.
Miss Liu quickly called the hotline of the relevant department to report, however, looking at the entire Internet, she was not the only victim.
How rampant is the illegal trade of Xianyu now?
Only you can't think of it, and you can't do it without them.
Before that, search for "original" on Xianyu, do you think it will be plain potato chips and original biscuits?
No, the first ones that pop up are plain socks, plain panties, plain skirts, etc.
Does this have anything to do with the "original flavor"?
When you see their explanations, you will understand that the so-called original flavor is the second-hand clothes that have been worn.
We can still understand second-hand outerwear, do people really want second-hand underwear and second-hand socks?
The results showed that not only did some people want it, but many people wanted it.
Moreover, there are countless people leaving messages under this kind of link, and some people even say: If you want a big taste, the stronger the better.
This remark is really jaw-dropping.
From here, you can see that these people who want to buy original items are not here to save money at all, but to satisfy some special habits.
Another netizen disclosed on the Internet that he clicked on the link to buy original socks out of curiosity, and after chatting with the other party, he was pulled into a WeChat group, which often posted explicit pictures, and the group owner also claimed that as long as 30 yuan a month, they can enjoy similar benefits every day.
Obviously, what plain socks and plain underwear are all disguises, they are all paving the way for the next more shady deal, and this operation is really a bit disgusting.
If you think that plain socks and plain underwear are enough and there is no lower limit, it can only mean that you are too young.
You must often brush some low-priced goods on Xianyu, such as lolita skirts that sell for thousands of yuan for one yuan, and Hanfu that sells for tens of thousands of yuan for one yuan.
You still think that the rich man is so kind that he really wants to package it for you at a low price, but you can understand it when you look at their shipping costs.
Shipping costs are 666, shipping costs are 520. Everyone knows what the ingredients are.
Seeing this, you think you have a general idea of which links will involve sensitivity, but the next thing will still surprise you.
There are often some people on the salted fish platform who release projects to play with you, such as playing games with you, shopping with you, etc.
They are priced at twenty or thirty yuan, which doesn't seem expensive, but as long as you chat privately, you will find that this is just a deposit, they still hold the pipa and half cover your face, which satisfies your appetite, you really want to meet, you have to feel if there is any money in your pocket.
What's more, selling second-hand cats and dogs on the Internet seems normal, after all, many people don't raise them anymore, and often sell them through salted fish.
But when you confidently wanted to consult the selling price, the other party replied: Do you want to pet the cat together? Here is my contact information, waiting for you~
One sentence will make you scared, as if you have entered a tiger and wolf's den, if you let others see it, you really can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.
Even cats and dogs can be linked to peach-colored transactions, and the world is really upside down.
In short, there are really many similar problems on Xianyu now, and they have been banned repeatedly, and almost every word that seems extremely normal has changed its flavor on this platform.
There are always ways for them to peddle their shady business, and old drivers can indeed find their way, but those ordinary consumers who originally just want to buy and sell things are really unbearable.
Obviously it is a regular second-hand trading platform, and it has also created brilliant results before, why did it come to this point?
02: The undercurrent of Xianyu is turbulent, are there too many criminals or is it deliberately done by the platform?
Once upon a time, Xianyu was the favorite platform for many young people, selling things they don't like on Xianyu, and you can also buy second-hand things in it, which can not only save money, but also clear inventory, and count in one fell swoop.
Because of this function, Xianyu has harvested 100 million users in just a few years, and is unbeatable in the second-hand trading platform market.
But such a good platform can't withstand the entry of some unscrupulous elements.
Although the Xianyu platform has blocked all kinds of prohibited words through algorithms, even if it is a pinyin abbreviation, or even an expression, once it is banned, the post will be deleted immediately and the account will be banned.
But no matter how powerful the artificial algorithm is, it can't withstand the intelligence of the human brain.
This forbidden word can't be used, so they invented a new word, this number was blocked again, they opened a new number, and countless people poured in, trying their best to make a code, so that the Xianyu official is also the first two big.
There are so many software nowadays, why do these criminals choose Xianyu?
The first reason is that salted fish have a strong social nature.
Xianyu has a huge user base, according to the 2020 financial news disclosure, Xianyu has more than 100 million monthly active users and more than 30 million sellers.
With so many people socializing on Xianyu, it is bound to be mixed, and some criminals will take advantage of it.
The second reason is that Xianyu is a low-price-based trading platform.
Who are the people who enter the salted fish?
Most of them are people who want to be able to find second-hand items at low prices, or sell second-hand items to save money.
They have a huge demand for low prices, and some of them also need spiritual comfort, and it is this trait that makes the criminals tear a hole in it.
Other social platforms do not have the function of buying and selling Xianyu, and other trading platforms do not have such a strong social function as Xianyu. So it was chosen, not surprising at all.
The third and more serious reason is that Xianyu has always adhered to the policy of loose and open governance, which was originally to allow users to trade as much as they want, but now it has become a fertile ground for criminals.
Of course, there are also people who point out that there is a problem with Xianyu's algorithm.
A netizen wants to buy a bicycle and searches for it on Xianyu, but guess what?
The homepage recommended to him are all bicycle sellers who sell bad information, and it is even more difficult to find some people who actually sell cars.
Some people also find that when you buy something in Salted Fish, Xianyu will even set up guiding tags, such as if you sell stockings or shoes, the system will prompt you to choose whether to wear it or not, once you choose to wear it, this information will be marked in red and pushed to relevant users.
From this point of view, Xianyu is now reduced to a red light district on the Internet, due to the quality of users and the loopholes of the platform itself.
You've pushed this kind of information vigorously, no wonder others call you a second-hand peach website.
In fact, over the years, Xianyu has been officially warned more than once.
As early as many years ago, Xianyu was fined for stealing customer information because someone recharged at a low price, and now it has been warned by the whole people for bad information.
Whether it is unintentional or intentional, a large number of unhealthy pages are flooded in Xianyu, which greatly affects its user experience, and seriously violates the relevant regulations.
Xianyu is backed by the Ali system, has a huge user base, and has more than 100 million monthly active users, which is ranked first in all social software.
But this is bound to produce a drawback, that is, a large number of users are introduced, and the quality of users is uneven, and things like this kind of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep will happen from time to time, and gradually evolve into a gray area of unscrupulous elements.
If you want to solve this problem, in addition to relying on the consciousness of customers, it is more necessary to rely on the strict rectification of Xianyu officials.
Such a large software and such a famous company still shoulder a certain sense of social responsibility.
It can only survive longer if the review mechanism is further implemented and the buying and selling environment is eliminated.
Have you ever seen a thing of selling dog meat on a sheep's head on Xianyu? Do you think this kind of thing happens, is it to blame the salted fish or the user?
