The huge bounty of $150 million began to go into a frenzy of consumption, because in the following days, users were frantically uploading videos, some of which were purely for money.

And these are all expected by Luo Sheng and the actual operation and management team of BluestarVideo, and they are not afraid of them picking wool at all, just afraid that if they do not upload videos, the internal system will distinguish duplicate videos.

Naturally, video sites were soon flooded with a plethora of low-quality, homogeneous videos.

However, there is also a way to solve this, the operation team has developed a relevant push algorithm, mainly based on the logic of the last elimination for screening, filtering a large number of inferior videos, to ensure that the homepage of the website must be the best quality video.

In fact, Luo Sheng has set up a development team to recommend similar videos to users based on their personal preferences and viewing history.

This is a big killer, a real big move.

But there is also a premise, that is, the content of the website is rich enough to push the right video for each user.

So far, Luo Sheng doesn't plan to release this big move, one is that it is difficult to develop and the time cycle is long, of course, for Luo Sheng, there is not much difficulty, but his time is precious.

The company is getting bigger and bigger, and more of it is handed over to the main engineers to be responsible for development, and they are mainly guided by themselves.

If he had to lead every project, why would he need so many engineers? I have to die of exhaustion.

With the launch of the BV video website in the third month, the 150 million bounty program has been launched, and a large number of original videos have also skyrocketed like a viral.

Unconsciously, three weeks have passed, and three weeks have been rotated, and during these three weeks, the new videos locked in the top200 list have all received income, with a minimum of $145 and a maximum of $30,000 to complete the weekly settlement and remit to the account designated by each UP master.

In the third month of the launch of the BV video website, the industry was stunned by the growth of various data on the website.

Since October 27, the BV video website has received 10 million views per day;

On Nov. 3, the number jumped to 15 million;

On November 10, the website exceeded 30 million page views per day;

And on November 21, the third month of BV video's launch, it recorded 71.5 million horror views.

BV video websites in Europe and the United States, especially in North America, have suddenly become a phenomenon.

In North America, the topic of discussion about this online video site once surpassed that of BlueSpace social networking sites, and everyone was talking about the video above, on BS social networking sites, or on Internet social platforms such as Reddit.

……

By the end of November, more than 45 million videos were clicked and watched by people every day on BV's online video sites, and 35% of the videos watched online in North America came from BV websites, and the data is still growing wildly.

If this trend continues, it will exceed 50% by early next year, and it will also squeeze into the top 20 for the first time in the ranking of the most visited websites in North America, ranking 20th.

At present, the top five websites with the most visits in North America are: Yahoo, AOL, MSN, eBay, and Google.

Bluestar Technology has three websites squeezed into the top 25 list, of which BlueSpace ranked 12th, Reddit ranked 19th, and BluestarVideo, which just made the list, ranked 20th.

With $150 million, the BV website has become a phenomenal hit in just three months after its launch, which shocked the industry and made people feel as if it was ...... It became a complete fire overnight.

I don't give you a chance to react at all, it's really like waking up and suddenly becoming popular, which is the biggest feeling for people in the industry.

Such a popularity naturally attracted a large number of people to study, and some industry insiders believe that the success of the BV website has three points, one is the leading streaming media technology in the industry, the second is a gorgeous marketing, and the third is Google's arbitrariness, which makes them miss the flashpoint of online video.

Because just in November, Google did something stupid.

In Google's opinion, the video clips on BV's website are of poor quality and as worthless as dross, so they are removed from Google searches.

At the same time, on November 25th, Google posted a blog post on its blog "We are turning to the TV field", which is a bit ambitious and full of confidence.

Basically, Google has a clear sign of entering the online video space, and the next day it announced the product manager, a middle-aged man named John Pisitello.

John posted a message on his blog that day:

[How do I get to Wisconsin and seek some local tourist information?] I was in my hotel room, turning on the TV, scrolling through the channels, and watching some travel shows at a leisurely pace, when it occurred to me that someone must have produced a short travel film about Wisconsin somewhere...... Obviously, this short film is nowhere to be found. ]

Three days after this blog post, Google officially proposed a solution - GoogleVideo.

According to John, the software allows users to search for recent TV shows, which means that Google sees video as an adjunct to its information mission in the digital world.

The news also reached Luo Sheng's ears, and after reading Google's so-called solution, he threw the report directly into the trash.

Because Luo Sheng felt that if Google played like this, he would have won, and there was no suspense.

Clearly, Google treats video as just another source of data for search mining.

To put it bluntly, it is still a search service, and if you want to make video a search service, it can only be said that there is no one in Google's team who can really understand streaming video.

John Pisitello has managed to kill Google, and he has missed the online video outlet.

The popularity of the international version of the BV video website, and at the same time, in the past three months, the domestic version of Bluestar Video that was launched simultaneously has not stopped developing.

However, there is no bounty plan for Bluestar Video.

With different national conditions and different environments, it is natural for methods to change.

Luo Sheng firmly believes that if he chooses to do this in China, all of them will be wasted, and he will definitely be doubted by some people.

And it's not necessary at all, because the international version of the BV website can't just upload copyrighted videos.

But domestic......

Users can upload videos by themselves, but the amount is really small, you must know that many people can't afford to buy equipment, so how to shoot videos?

But this does not mean that there is no content, on the Blue Star video website, users can see all kinds of American dramas, Hollywood blockbusters, animated movies, etc. after opening the web page, if this is placed on the international version of the online video website, Luo Sheng will be sued to bankruptcy.

However, it can't be made explicit, Blue Star Video has a super classic rogue-style disclaimer, all content is uploaded by third-party users, and has nothing to do with this site, if there is any infringement, please contact customer service immediately, we will remove the relevant infringing videos.

Other websites don't even bother to make a statement, they just pirate.

Luo Sheng's good words also made Bluestar Video make a disclaimer.

In this regard, the copyright owner, especially the foreign copyright owner, has no problem at all, and wants to file a lawsuit in China, in this era, those foreign copyright owners, whether it is video, music, stand-alone games, or anything else, even a lawyer does not want to come to the letter.

Because it's useless, the long litigation period is basically impossible to win, not to mention, and if you win, you will be fined tens of thousands of yuan, which is really painless for a company like Bluestar Technology.

This time, several major Hollywood film companies are looking forward to it, really waiting for Luo Sheng to go to them to buy the copyright, just like he went to talk to the five major record giants about copyright cooperation, and came to send them money.

Several major Hollywood movie giants know that Luo Sheng has been very generous recently, raising a huge amount of $1.275 billion.

As a result, I waited for three months, and it was not necessarily that Bluestar Technology sent even a person in charge to negotiate with the film company, let alone Luo Sheng.

This made the heads of several major film companies a little dumbfounded.

How is it different from what was expected?

(Ps: In addition to writing about the protagonist's operation layout and development strategy of new products, this chapter is also a kind of helplessness and heartache for those pirates and P2P prostitutes, piracy may be a mixed blessing for top-level creators, because piracy indirectly expands the popularity of their works while losing revenue, but it is a fatal injury for middle- and low-level creators, and even falls into a vicious circle, and finally dies.)

Take the online novel industry as an example, rare platinum gods such as those in the top positions, their income can even rely on a book to achieve financial freedom in a first-tier city, and even the copyright of the new book has been sold before it has been uploaded, and the price is tens of millions, so piracy is not only harmless to them, but beneficial to them.

But what about middle- and low-level authors, especially those like Zhao Ling, who are in a full-time state and expect to live the worst life with manuscript fees, and no subscription is a dead end, and the popularity brought by piracy cannot bring any economic benefits at all, because the works of middle- and low-level creators have the opportunity to expand their popularity but cannot reach it, it is just an opportunity, but the existence of piracy and the inability to pirate directly kill the only opportunity.

Because you are dead in the 99% probability before the popularity of the work is enough to create considerable income, and the category of the work itself means that some people are born to adapt and other copyright operations, and there is no advantage by nature, for example, this kind of scientific and technological text written by Zhao Ling is categorically impossible to have a chance to adapt, not to mention that it is absolutely 99.99% impossible.

There is no possibility of copyright operation over there, and piracy has been hit hard here, and there is no manuscript fee, of course, starving to death.

Therefore, many authors or change careers, or eunuchs, etc., because the power generation with love can be maintained for a while, but it will never be maintained for a lifetime, and the promise of writing online articles on a hungry stomach, Zhao Ling feels that there is no other value except for selling miserable sympathy.

Zhao Ling is not a shield for some works of eunuchs, eunuchs are very shameful, it is a harm to the readers who subscribe to your works, but also a harm to your own character, the result of a lose-lose situation for readers and authors. In the team of eunuchs, Zhao Ling also has a place in it, which Zhao Ling does not shy away from and cannot avoid, readers only need to open your historical work and take a look.

This is really sorry for the readers who subscribe to Zhao Ling's works, especially those readers who still spend money on Zhao Ling's works all the way to the present, and feel very sorry for them, such as "Snow Dance Ice Princess" sister paper, from the eunuch "Science and Technology Giant" all the way to the present, and is currently in the first place on the list of new book fans, super touched ing~~

In the book at the starting point, the reasons for the eunuchs are varied, some are irresponsible by some authors, and some are force majeure, such as force majeure factors such as 404.

To tell the truth, this book is Zhao Ling's "spare tire" for "Black Technology Predator", the book is still being updated intermittently, and the reason for Zhao Ling's current double opening is that as a low-level creator, he is facing the predator at any time, and this book will suddenly disappear, then Zhao Ling will have no source of income, and he is getting closer and closer to the complete death of his career

Readers who have followed the book of predators should know that this book almost died completely in July this year, and now Zhaoling is also doing his best to rescue and strive for updates, and it is slower and more slow, because I don't want to be sorry for the readers who spent money to subscribe again and again.

People who have no foresight must have near-term worries, and the new book of Global Monopoly came out under such circumstances, all because Zhao Ling did not want to say goodbye to his writing career because of starvation, because of an accident that he couldn't laugh or cry to set foot in this industry, but he also fell in love with this industry.

There must be many authors who have changed careers for such reasons, bid farewell to their writing careers, and left the name of eunuchs, and Zhao Ling has been luckier than these people so far, although he has also taken off his skin, but at least he has not died, so thank you very much to the readers who have supported you all the way, there is no polite word here, otherwise he would have died a long time ago.

And Zhao Ling personally thinks that it is a pity and sadness that some authors "use love to generate electricity" and finally die by prostitution, at least this is just a creator's dream of parting, no one cares, and at worst, it is a harm to the entire online literature industry system and even all industries related to copyright operation, and I don't care about that...... Big problems are often caused by the stacking of small problems, and if small problems are solved, big problems often don't appear.

Although Zhao Ling is also very sad about the white prostitute or something, he can't do anything about it, the general environment is like this, what about the little people? It's just that Zhao Ling hopes from the bottom of his heart that the reason why the white prostitutes are white is because of economic reasons and they can't afford to support the genuine version, so they are prostitutes, and the world needs mutual understanding to be better.

Instead of pirating white prostitution while also saying arrogantly: "Seeing that your works have brought you traffic and popularity, it is already the greatest support and the biggest face for you, don't be greedy." ”

This sentence hurts creators, especially middle- and low-level creators, ten times and a hundred times more than piracy, and its power is no less than "heart-wrenching words", and it often becomes the last straw that crushes them to persevere.

That's all.

Finally, to quote the last sentence of "Ready Player One", "Thank you for playing my game." ”

Thank you for reading my book, it's a great honor.
