I don't know when
Some of the elderly are staying up a very new kind of night
"着迷い微短剧"
These two years
The micro-short drama is out of the circle
Quite a few uncles, aunts and even grandparents
All join the ranks of the "watchers".
There are even people who are watching dramas at the same time
"One Thousand Dollars"
Some of the total consumption is as high as tens of thousands of yuan
Recently, Ms. Zhao (pseudonym) from Anhui inadvertently discovered that her 60-year-old mother, Ms. Du (pseudonym), had a WeChat payment bill of nearly 7,000 yuan in June this year.
The payment records show that the amount of a single payment is tens of yuan, the payment interval is about ten minutes, and most of the payees are "XX video", "XX theater", "XX network", etc.
After communication, Ms. Zhao learned that her mother was recharging to watch a skit. According to a screenshot of the payment record presented by Ms. Du, in June this year, her mother spent 6,992.7 yuan through WeChat Pay.
At 1:25 a.m. on June 27, she paid 49.9 yuan to "XX Popular Video", and then paid every 10 minutes or so;
At half past two in the morning, she made the last payment to "XX Hot Video";
After 3 o'clock in the morning, she paid 39.9 yuan to "XX Technology" twice;
At half past nine in the morning, she began to recharge again and paid 49.9 yuan to "XX Theater".
……
On this day, Ms. Zhao's mother spent a total of 548.8 yuan for chasing the short drama.
Paid skits are required
Top up to unlock the next episode
A number of netizens said with the post
Their parents are addicted to micro-skits
High consumption is also invested
Ms. Du's viewing records show that the short dramas she has chased include "The President's Wife Takes the Cub ......", "Mengbao Strikes ......", "The Eldest Miss ...... in the Entertainment Industry" and so on.
It is understood that these paid short dramas that make people "go up" often stop abruptly at the key points of the plot, and they need to pay to unlock the next episode, and some need to pay to be free of ads.
Viewers who are eager to know the follow-up plot often pay to unlock it, and the cost of a single episode is often only a few cents, but when recharging, they need to buy a package worth dozens of yuan, which adds up to a lot of money and becomes a "huge amount".
"On some film and television platforms, the membership for one year is only more than 200 yuan. It's unreasonable for a skit to cost so much. Ms. Du told reporters that after she communicated with her mother, her mother learned that there were still free or more preferential channels to watch dramas, and told her daughter that she would never watch paid short dramas again, and would only watch free dramas in the future.
Many elderly people watch short dramas
"停不下来"
▋Coincidentally, Ms. Wang (pseudonym) from Jiangsu also had a similar experience, and her 61-year-old father, Mr. Wang, also spent a lot of money on chasing short dramas.
Ms. Wang looked at her father's mobile phone and found that he had spent a lot of money on the skit. Her father explained to her that at first, she only needed to charge 1 cent, but then she spent so much money for some reason.
Ms. Wang complained to the platform and wanted to recover the fees, but only a few dozen yuan were returned.
▋ Ms. Yang, a 67-year-old consumer of short dramas, said that when she was fascinated by watching dramas, she would ignore the voice of her wife urging the dishes. Ms. Yang said that those dramas made her feel very "relieved", and she would write a comment during the advertisement: "It's good to beat up that negative guy, girls can't be so stupid." ”
Ms. Yang said that she got married when she was 20 years old, and almost all the housework after marriage was undertaken by her, which made her feel tired, and when she saw the heroine of the short drama "counterattack", she would also have the illusion of "success".
According to industry insiders, the salary of the "top stream" actors in male frequency dramas is 6,000~8,000 yuan/day, and the "carrying drama" protagonists of female frequency dramas are 10,000~12,000 yuan/day. The filming cycle of a modern drama is about 7~10 days, and the budget of the actors has been doubled.
Here's the problem
Elderly people spend thousands of dollars chasing skits on dramas
Can my child request a refund from the platform after they find out?
Lawyer:
Older persons should be given special protection with regard to online payments
Fu Jian, director of Henan Zejin Law Firm, believes that if the family wants to request a refund from the platform, they can provide evidence to prove that the skit platform is illegal, otherwise the two parties should be bound by the contract shown at the time of payment, and cannot terminate the contract at will or ask for a refund. If the short drama platform has clearly informed the specific price and charging method of the short play, it cannot request a refund.
There are also lawyers who think
Older people belong to a special group
In terms of network payments
It deserves special protection under the law
Zhao Liangshan, a lawyer at Shaanxi Hengda Law Firm, believes that if the form of the fee is automatic deduction, there should be a separate reminder, and it must be eye-catching, otherwise it violates Article 26 of the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests: If a business operator uses standard terms in business activities, it shall draw consumers' attention to the quantity and quality of goods or services, the price or fee, the performance period and method, safety precautions and risk warnings, after-sales service, civil liability and other content that has a major interest in consumers in a conspicuous manner. and to explain it according to the consumer's request.
If the platform fails to fulfill its obligation to display prominently in a conspicuous position; If the auto-deduction service terms are determined to be overlord clauses, the auto-deduction service will be characterized as invalid. The elderly can request a refund from the platform based on the above two reasons.
