"Seeing him rise up a tall building, watching him feast guests, seeing his building collapse", Kong Shangren's words came into reality on Christmas Eve 2024.
On December 24, two topics about Wu Liufang rushed to the hot search one after another. One is that "Wu Liufang's account has been banned", and the other is that "Wu Liufang has only 44,000 fans left".
Previously, Wu Liufang's number of fans reached more than 6.3 million. From 6.3 million to 44,000, what does that mean? More than 6 million fans were lost overnight!
The reason given by the platform is that the MCN agency operated Wu Liufang's account "56 Senior Sister (798)" to publish vulgar content to attract fans and attract traffic, which had a bad impact, so it took measures such as banning, suspending profit permissions, and removing fans who grew due to violations.
On the homepage of Wu Liufang's personal account, it can be seen that the original "Followed" button has been restored to a red "+ Follow" button. This means that without my own operation, the platform has canceled the author's attention to Wu Liufang. To describe this process in four words, it is "to take the pass by the head".
Of course, as users, we have no argument. Perhaps the platform has already written this article in an agreement, convention, or norm, and the platform has the right to do so. In this regard, the author maintains full understanding and respect.
However, the description "purge of followers who have grown due to violations" is confusing. Let's not discuss whether Wu Liufang violated the law, even if she did violate the law, the author did not pay attention to her account because of her "violations", but because of the inappropriate criticism of her former teammates. It is neither reasonable nor reasonable to rashly define the author's concern as "concern due to Wu Liufang's violations".
Moreover, the vice president of the platform has already made it clear that Wu Liufang's fan growth is triggered by news and has nothing to do with algorithms. So, what does the platform mean by "news" as a violation? It's kind of funny.
In fact, it has long been common for platforms to secretly poke and manipulate users' attention. As early as two years ago, the author realized that his account on a social platform may have been operated by the platform to follow some people.
The reason why I found this is because I have never followed anyone with this account, but there are some people who appear in the watchlist for some reason.
What's even more bizarre is that when the author "unfollows" everyone in the watchlist, the number of followers is still not 0. Several accounts are hidden, making it impossible for me to close them from my watchlist.
At that time, the application of a traffic star was very lively, so the author searched for the name of the star and entered his homepage with the mentality of trying it out. The ridiculous thing in the world appeared, and on his homepage, it was impressively displayed "Followed". Oh my God, it is completely impossible for the author to pay attention to this kind of star who does not have any good feelings.
It can be reasonably inferred that the author was bought by this application star, and the platform thought that the author's account was a zombie account (because he had not logged in for a long time), so he arranged the author's account to be a zombie fan of the application star.
Following this line of thought, the author searched for the names of several traffic stars, but failed to find a new "fan buyer". To this day, there is a problem with the author's watchlist, which shows "follow 16", but can only view 10 accounts. For the 6 hidden accounts, the platform prevaricated with the sentence "Because it is suspected of containing abnormal accounts, the blogger's self-protection strategy is triggered, and some accounts are not displayed for the time being".
In the context of the rapid development of the Internet, all kinds of chaos emerge in an endless stream, and it is difficult to avoid it. Manipulation of attention and taking customs by head has long become a common problem in the industry, and banning this kind of behavior against the will of users should also become part of the "clear" action.
While attacking Wu Liufang, don't forget to examine yourself.
