However, because of the popularity of smartphones, surfing the Internet, especially using various applications to log in to social networks, portals, etc., instead of using a traditional web browser, has become as easy as people use their mobile phones to open text messages or mailboxes and check the messages sent by friends and relatives.

In such a 'new form' of information society, there are suddenly a large number of 'new users' on the Internet who have been in contact for a short time. This has greatly changed the structure of mainstream users who used to be Internet enthusiasts and otaku people on the Internet in the early years.

Those who have used the Internet for a relatively early time must still remember that there were basically no 'amateurs' on the Internet, and the vast majority of the chatrooms and forums were filled with IT-related business employees, as well as a small number of young and advanced education, and at the same time the family conditions are very good such and such a 'second generation'.

At that time, the atmosphere on the Internet was generally more professional because of the user, although the number of people discussing various issues was far less than now, but the speeches were more in-depth, and the most intuitive thing was that the number of words in the speech was generally more than the current simple one or two sentences, and even the most common word and a short sentence looked much more detailed.

Later, with the decline in the price of computer hardware, the decline in network costs and the increase in speed, more and more ordinary families also bought computers and connected to the Internet. However, even though the number of users on the Internet has exploded during this period, the main user group of the new growth is still relatively young and those who are more interested in this area.

In the early days, there was no need to work or study and was still interested in the Internet, and there was no doubt that the vast majority of them were groups with a high degree of overlap with otaku like Mt. Horaiyama Kabaya and Izumi. It can even be boldly said that before the advent of smartphones, and even when laptops were not so popular, people who liked to soak in the Internet often were basically people with more 'homely' personalities and living habits. That is, the 'enemy' of 'presentness' like Eri Tsubase.

Or maybe it's just that some of those people in the house are used to making the present their enemy. After all, the class is very active, and there is always a group of 'central characters' who have their presence in everything.,Usually there are no special circumstances.,I don't notice those 'little transparent' who always hide in the corner and don't say anything.。

To put it more cruelly, the silent classmates who usually don't interact with those who are in the class at the beginning suddenly participated in the class reunion on a whim after many years of graduation, and faced a group of students in the venue who didn't remember their names at all, and didn't even remember that there was such a person in the class...... At that time, if he was still as withdrawn as he was at the beginning, I am afraid that the resentment against the present may suddenly burst out, right?

On the contrary, she is a person like Izumi who is not withdrawn although she is at home, no matter how many years later, her classmates will gather, even if she is not there, maybe she will still be the focus of everyone's discussion. After all, the sense of presence is too strong!

"I also started to look at meows often after the Internet access became very convenient on my mobile phone. ”

Starry Rin echoes Eri Hunse, although there are childhood sweethearts like Koizumi Hanayo, but Starry Rin is obviously not the kind of person who only likes to stay indoors. Although she certainly doesn't like to go around with a group of people to participate in various activities, she is also the most ordinary kind of middle school girl who watches TV and magazines when she has time, and occasionally likes to go out with her classmates.

"It's true that because of the spread of smartphones, there are suddenly a lot of 'new types' of users like you on the Internet, who are completely different from the previous ones. In the past, some of the marketing and promotion methods of Internet companies were specially set up for people who deeply use the Internet. And with more people like you who aren't traditional Internet users, those Internet companies are also smart enough to find traditional media companies that are better at 'targeting' people like you, and the two sides have worked together to develop some 'new' marketing methods. Among them, there is the method of 'brushing traffic' that everyone can see by frantically increasing the exposure of a person or a thing. ”

Levi can also be regarded as a relatively complete experience of this 'evolution process' in the online world. No one needs to tell him, he also clearly remembers how different the environment on the Internet was from now when there were no smartphones and computers were still a 'electrical appliance' that could only be consumed by wealthy families.

"But now, judging from the results, it seems that those methods that were originally experimental in nature should be considered a failure for the time being...... Or at least not so successfully. ”

Levy's words can be said to be the deep recognition of Nicole Yazawa and Koizumi Hanayo. This is also interesting, obviously as an idol house, the female idols that these two girls are keen on are also a typical example of 'lack of strength, just relying on hype' in the eyes of most people. But these idol otaku themselves are actually quite disgusted with those stars who have no strength and rely purely on traffic. Especially when this happens in the idol group that they follow, and the person who is favored by the capital happens to be a member they don't like so much.

Words like 'the shame of forced pushing' are used by idol houses to mock those idols who are loved by the capitalists behind the team the most, and have received relatively more resources but have not received much return. After all...... In fact, fans have never felt that their idols lack strength...... Well, or should I say not that my idol lacks effort.

"We can also feel this, in the past two years, those new stars who seem to be very powerful and well-known have not had good ratings for the dramas they filmed, and the box office of the movies was also very poor, and some of the products that are said to have been endorsed are also quite miserable. ”

When she said this, there was obviously a hint of schadenfreude in Yakuzawa's tone. It can be seen that she really hates the kind of 'new star from the sky' that is purely pushed out by capital without working hard but succeeding.

In fact, it's no wonder that Nicole Yazawa and Koizumi Hanayo think so. After all, the female idols they like now are generally operated by small brokerage companies, or laissez-faire companies that are not too 'favored' under large companies.

And female idols are accustomed to working hard with something that can be seen, and it is naturally easy for these girls who are already overflowing with compassion to feel indignant about their situation.
