Chapter 675: Turn your hand and do the cloud, and ban it forcefully!

The water army showed up to guide public opinion in a direction favorable to Apple.

In addition, it uses powerful comment control methods to delete and block public opinion that is unfavorable to Apple.

The public opinion trend on many platforms has reversed and is moving in the direction of whitewashing Apple.

Especially the general public, who are easily misled, also believed this set of rhetoric.

Apple was in a good mood about this, and the head of the public relations department even approached Cook to take credit:
"Chairman, things are going very smoothly and in a direction that is favorable to us. Many users and fans have begun to open up for us and help us whitewash ourselves. They all think that it is not Apple's fault that it cannot promote Honkai Impact 3D, but a problem of Honkai Impact 3D."

"It was Honkai Impact 3D that exceeded the standards. They had to adapt a 3A masterpiece to mobile phones, which resulted in so many phones not being able to run it. It's not our problem at all."

"Even many users felt that Apple was wronged and began to speak up for Apple. Some even condemned miHoYo and Honkai Impact 3D."

"Very good, very good!" Cook was delighted. "You did a great job this time. But has the public opinion on all platforms reversed?"

The PR manager's heart skipped a beat, and his expression was a little unnatural:
"The public opinion on many platforms has reversed, and the public opinion on some platforms has also changed. But..."

"Speak!" Cook snorted coldly. He knew that these bastards only reported good news and not bad news.

Things were going well... BUT!
These bastard subordinates are just big liars. If you don't ask them more questions, they won't tell you anything.

waste!

Rubbish!

The PR manager trembled with fear and had to say, "That's right. As long as it's other platforms or third-party platforms, they have undergone substantial changes under our money control and the guidance of public opinion by the Internet trolls."

"But on Xingyi Technology's platforms, such as Changliao, Douyin, Xingyi Market, Mayu Forum and other platforms, our method of controlling comments does not work."

Cook sighed, "Yes, these platforms are all Xingyi Technology's platforms. It is definitely not possible for us to control the comments and delete the posts that are unfavorable to us to change public opinion. But it is still possible to spend more money to hire water armies to guide public opinion, right?"

The PR manager nodded and said, "That's fine. As long as it's a platform, it can be operated by the Internet trolls. However, the supervision of the platforms under Xingyi Technology is relatively strict, so it is very difficult for the Internet trolls to operate."

"What? It can't be operated? It doesn't work?" Cook's face darkened.

"Of course you can, but... you have to pay extra!"

Cook wanted to curse: "..."

What kind of bastard is this? It’s fine if it only reports good news but not bad news, but it also always asks for more money!

Okay, really okay!

The subordinate quickly said, "Chairman, for other platforms, we can contact the bloggers to delete the posts. It would be best if the bloggers are willing to do so. If the bloggers are unwilling to delete the posts, we can contact the platforms to limit traffic or even delete the posts."

"But the platforms under Xingyi Technology will not accept our commission to delete posts and limit traffic, so we can only ask bloggers. In this situation, those bloggers are fearless and know that we have no other choice, so they will ask for exorbitant prices, and we will have to spend more money and bleed more."

"That's it."

Cook had no doubt that it was true.

Considering that the number of users of platforms such as Douyin and Changliao owned by Xingyi Technology are all in the hundreds of millions, they have an influence that dominates the whole country in Xiaguo.

It even has a great influence on a global scale.

Not to mention TikTok, this platform was globalized from the start.

Not only is it popular in China, it is also popular all over the world.

Whether it’s drug dealers on duty in the Golden Triangle or the gaps in mafia street fights, people will check out TikTok to see the legs!

With such a high influence, if we don’t control public opinion and allow these platforms to release opinions that are unfavorable to Apple, it will be a big trouble!
Not only Apple's reputation, but also its sales and profits are affected.

"Forget it, then just pay more, hire more trolls, and spend money to guide public opinion back to me!"

"The chairman is wise. I will make arrangements right away and increase my investment to go all out on Xingyi Technology's platforms. Once the public opinion on these platforms reverses, we will be completely stable."

"Well, go ahead!" Cook waved his hand, feeling a wave of fatigue sweeping over his body.

Things have been really bad for Apple recently.

The iPhone 5s was a disastrous failure, and the iPhone 6 almost failed just half a month after it was put into mass production and not even officially launched on the market!

Dealing with one after another really made him exhausted, both physically and mentally!

Especially the performance gate incident, which almost destroyed Apple’s entire reputation and high-end image!

Fortunately, we have found a breakthrough and turned the situation around.

Apple acted quickly. Although it could not bribe Xingyi Technology's platform to delete posts and limit traffic, it could spend money to bribe bloggers to delete their posts themselves!
The bloggers who had originally scoffed at this began to waver under Apple's rounds of financial offensives and started to take money to delete posts.

There are also some bloggers with no bottom line. Not only did they delete the posts, they also began to accept invitations from Apple and post posts to whitewash Apple!
In the comment sections under these bloggers' videos, Apple even hires a huge number of internet trolls to help further guide public opinion.

As a result of this operation, in just two days, public opinion on platforms such as Douyin, Mayu, and Changliao public accounts reversed.

As a result, Xingyi Technology’s public opinion position was lost.

At this point, online public opinion on the Apple performance gate incident has completely reversed.

More and more people are beginning to whitewash Apple, recognize Apple, sympathize with Apple, and support Apple.

More and more people began to attack "Honkai Impact 3D" and miHoYo, believing that it was miHoYo's problem.

Looking at this scene, Apple was in a good mood.

Even Cook was overjoyed: "This wave of crisis has been resolved. If nothing unexpected happens, I can sleep well tonight!"

God knows, he hasn't had a good night's sleep for so long.

Can't sleep, can't sleep at all.

As soon as the Apple performance scandal broke out, major shareholders started scolding Cook, scaring him so much that he couldn't sleep.

If the major shareholder didn't come to scold Cook, Cook would think he was abandoned and was going to be sunk into the sea to feed the fish, and he would suffer from insomnia.

Sometimes, after finally falling asleep, I would soon have a nightmare.

Although the dreams are not exactly the same, most of them end tragically and are often related to the sea and fish.

After this period of time, the Cook people became haggard.

I can't sleep, I can't sleep at all. Melatonin is useless and I have to take more sleeping pills.

But in this situation, Cook didn't dare to eat more.

What if he ate too much at once and fell into a deep sleep, and something bad happened? He wouldn’t have enough time to deal with it!

But now it's okay, everything is over.

Cook looked out the window: "The direction of public opinion has completely changed. The boat has already passed through thousands of mountains!"

"Now that Apple's performance issue has been resolved, I can sleep peacefully."

Thinking of this, Cook, who had rarely worked overtime, returned home happily and had a good sleep.

The other side of the earth.

Jian Ziyan approached Wang Yi and said, "Chairman, something big has happened. Apple has recently started a series of big moves."

"First, some time ago, Apple used its financial power to buy off platforms to delete posts, limit traffic, control comments, and hired trolls to guide public opinion. This series of operations reversed public opinion on many platforms, making the public believe that it was not Apple's fault that Apple could not promote "Honkai Impact 3D", but the fault of "Honkai Impact 3D", and that there was a hint of conspiracy theory in it."

"In the past two days, Apple has started to use its money power again. It bought off many Douyin live broadcasts, asked Douyin anchors to delete posts, posted some videos to whitewash Apple and attack "Honkai Impact 3D", hired Internet trolls to guide public opinion and cooperate with anchors, and bought Douyin+ for promotion."

"???" Wang Yi was stunned: "Apple is really showing off. It guides public opinion and controls comments on our platform, and even attacks our game?"

"Yes, Chairman, that's what they did. Plus, they paid generously, so many anchors cooperated. Currently, the public opinion on TikTok has begun to split. Some people are still firmly attacking Apple, believing that the iPhone has poor performance and is a scumbag."

"Some users believed those anchors who were paid by Apple and thought that the failure to promote Honkai Impact 3D was not Apple's problem, but Honkai Impact 3D's problem!"

"If this continues, Apple's money power will continue to be unleashed, and more and more anchors will choose to take money to delete posts, choose to whitewash Apple, and attack "Honkai Impact 3D"!"

"Public opinion is also beginning to move in the direction of supporting Apple."

"Damn it! Can Apple still bully us on our platform?"

Wang Yi was so angry that he laughed: "What do those guys on Douyin do for a living?"

Hearing this, Jian Ziyan didn't say anything, but just looked at the person in charge of the Douyin business department.

The other party's face changed drastically, and he said quickly: "Chairman, we have already grasped the matter, and have compiled the relevant data and tracked those abnormal accounts. We can ban them at any time!"

As early as yesterday, Douyin noticed this situation and began preparations.

But without the chairman's order, they didn't know whether they should take action directly...

"Go ahead, beat them to death!" Wang Yi said calmly. The strategic significance of creating platforms such as Douyin, Changliao, Xingyi Video, and Mayu is to control the public opinion platform!

This is the situation today.

It is conceivable that if you don’t have your own strong platform, you’re done.

That is, whatever Apple says is what it is, and everything develops in a direction that is beneficial to Apple.

Public opinion will also become that it is not Apple's fault that Apple cannot promote "Honkai Impact 3D", but the fault of "Honkai Impact 3D", the fault of miHoYo, or even a conspiracy of Xingyi Technology!
That’s right, in the end, not only was Apple, whose performance was poor, whitewashed, but "Honkai Impact 3D", the ceiling of 3D mobile games, was discredited. Even Xingyi Technology was attacked by Apple with the conspiracy theory of "fabricating the performance gate incident"!

That's it!

You can't wash yourself clean even if you jump into the Yellow River.

But now, Xingyi Technology has Douyin and Changliao with more than 7 million users, and Mayu and Xingyi Video with more than 3 million users!
Under this situation, Xingyi Technology has a strong public opinion position, so it is not just what Apple says that counts.

Soon, the trolls who were working hard suddenly found that their accounts were abnormal, and then a notification appeared in front of them:

[It is detected that your account has abnormal behavior and has participated in water army activities many times. It will be banned for XX days. ]

Lin Yaowen, who had blond hair, was also stunned when he saw the notice in front of him:
"Fuck! 3650 days, 10 years!"

"Damn, I was banned for ten years!"

"Fuck!"

"I worked so hard to get 50 followers on this account, and now it's banned for ten years!"

"Then how can you cheat money in the future?"

Lin Yaowen focuses on the track of spirited young men. Although it is vulgar, it still has great potential in the sinking market.

Especially in the first few years of short videos, the sinking market still has a large market, and Lin Yaowen became popular.

It would be fine if it continued like this.

But Lin Yaowen was greedy and wanted to make quick money.

So after taking Apple's money, he not only worked as a cyber army for Apple to whitewash Apple and attack "Honkai Impact 3D", but also called on his own fans to join in the action to whitewash Apple and attack "Honkai Impact 3D"!
If it was just his personal words and deeds, Douyin might think he was crazy and turn a blind eye.

But not only does he serve as a water army himself, he also guides hundreds of thousands of fans to act together!
Then this is a serious matter, and TikTok cannot accept this kind of behavior.

Therefore, Lin Yaowen was sacrificed to the gods and banned directly for ten years!
"Oh my god, I was banned for ten years just for 50,000 dollars from Apple!"

"Not worth it, not worth it at all!"

"What a big loss!"

For a moment, Lin Yaowen felt terrible and wanted to die.

But unfortunately, it was too late.

Even filing an appeal would be meaningless.

And this is just the beginning.

Many bloggers like Lin Yaowen have been blocked for their activities as a troll army.

The duration of the ban ranges from two to ten years depending on the severity of the case.

But for this kind of anchor, if he doesn’t post a video for half a year, let alone two years, he will be out of business!
In the past, some of these anchors would make money against their conscience and even harvest fans, but Wang Yi turned a blind eye.

There is no way. All major platforms are of the same nature. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Wang Yi is too lazy to clean it up.

But now, they are eating Xingyi Technology’s food and want to blame Xingyi Technology!

Wang Yi naturally didn't tolerate it.

Not only the anchors were blocked this time, but also the internet trolls hired by Apple.

Douyin had strong review capabilities when it was first established. With the development of Xingyi Cloud services and the iteration of Xingyi AI, this review capability has become even more powerful with the support of AI and big data.

These water armies are organized teams, and they have been paid to curse others before.

Wang Yi was too lazy to pay attention to these, but the Douyin backend had already monitored them clearly.

Now that the blame has been directed at Xingyi Technology, there is nothing we can do but to purge them immediately and block all their accounts.

A small account with no value will be banned for three years, while a large account with value will be banned for five or ten years.

To put it bluntly, it was blocked directly.

Although these water army organizations have many accounts, this time they all took down the whole group.

Some institutions participated in all of this and were directly wiped out and had their accounts completely blocked.

In some cases, not only the small accounts involved were blocked, but the big accounts related to them were also dealt with!
Those with evidence will be blocked directly, and those without evidence will also be restricted and sentenced to death.

I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go!
For a time, all major water army organizations were in a miserable state.

I only made a little money by taking the order from Apple, but once my account was blocked, the loss would be too great!
A fatal blow.

It would be especially terrible if the main account or even the entire team’s account was blocked.

This incident quickly became a hot topic on the Internet.

Douyin and other platforms have directly issued statements:

[Recently, some anchors and users have not only participated in water army activities and distorted the facts for money, but also deceived and exploited fans, and even led fans to become water army, causing extremely negative effects. For this reason, Douyin officials took action and banned all of them. ]

As soon as this statement came out, it instantly became a hot topic on the Internet, and public opinion exploded:
"He is a water army himself, and he also uses his fans to guide his fans to become water army! To be honest, this behavior is really bad."

"Fans treat you as a streamer, and you treat your fans as rookies. Punishment! Really punishment!"

"Hahaha, the account is blocked. I was wondering why Lin Yaowen 404's account. Turns out it's blocked. He deserves it!"

"What's going on? Eat melons, the bench is ready."

"What else could it be? Apple just bought off a lot of anchors and hired some internet trolls to whitewash the iPhone's performance scandal, and discredited Honkai Impact 3D at the same time. In the end, it was wiped out by Xingyi Technology!"

"Fuck, I see. I was wondering why those bloggers have been acting like they took drugs these days. A few days ago they were criticizing Apple for being a scumbag, having weak performance, and supporting Honkai Impact 3D. These past two days they have started to whitewash Apple and criticize Honkai Impact 3D. It turns out they took Apple's money but acted like dogs for Apple!"

"It's good to ban these dog anchors. The problem is that they not only act like dogs themselves, but also deceive their fans, asking them to follow them as water armies, and use the water armies as monkeys and as guns."

"No wonder the public opinion on the Internet has changed. It turns out it was Apple's Internet trolls. Apple spent a lot of money on it."

"Xingyi Technology is awesome. They directly banned all the online scammers. Other platforms don't care at all. It seems they also took the money."

"That's for sure. How can they ban Apple's trolls if they take Apple's money? They are all financial sponsors!"

"That's good now. We've been completely banned by Xingyi Technology. Let's see what Apple will do next."

"Apple is really rubbish. Even if they spend a lot of money to hire a troll army to guide public opinion, it will be meaningless and they will still be scolded to death by the majority of netizens."

"Useless, such a loser! Your configuration is rubbish, the performance is rubbish, and you still blame the game for being bad?"

"You lost in seconds emotionally, and you blame T for being too thin?"

"That's right, instead of looking for problems within themselves, they just want to shirk responsibility and hire trolls to whitewash and slander the problems of Honkai Impact 3D. It's really rubbish. I'm getting more and more disappointed."

"What did you think made you give up the Xphone 3 and buy the iPhone 5s last year?"

"There's nothing we can do. Apple's processor performance can't be improved, and the iPhone 6 has 1G RAM. If we don't blame the games, the phones won't sell!"

“It won’t sell even if you push it to games. If you want to change your phone, you should choose Xingyi phone and Kunpeng processor!”

"Don't say that. Cell phones aren't just for playing games. You're being narrow-minded."

"That's right, who plays games every day? I don't think Honkai Impact 3D is that fun. I still like Apple's system, which is smooth and slick."

"Silky and smooth? Do you like Apple's short battery life, slow charging, small screen, and poor performance?"

"Fuck, please be gentle when you curse. His defense is broken. Hahaha."

"!!!"

Public opinion online is completely divided.

Originally, many users were led astray by Apple's internet trolls guiding public opinion and using their money to control reviews.

But once the Xingyi Technology account blocking incident happened, the distorted public opinion was straightened out again!

This makes Apple very sad!
