Chapter 21: True and False
"How about trying these dishes?"
"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. For the sake of this sumptuous dinner, Dad, just ask. As he spoke, he put the chicken leg clip into his father Zhou Dashuai's bowl, "This is a reward for honoring your old man for his hard work, hard work, and forgetting to sleep and eat to sell me." ”
"If you're not satisfied, let's change it?"
"It's rooted, and it can't be changed." He smiled shyly as he spoke.
Looking at his daughter with a happy smile on her face, Zhou Dashuai's heart blossomed: "After talking about business, I want to hear your opinion." ”
"Dad, you say."
"What do you think about the virtual world?"
"I used to be very optimistic about the virtual world, after all, it is a hot spot in the current society. However, when Lin Sen talked about the virtual world devouring people's souls, it shocked me a lot, and we seemed to be unconsciously enslaved by the creators of the virtual world. Therefore, it is difficult to judge whether the virtual world is good or bad for social value, for example, a virtual account, how do you judge its value? ”
"Judging by the number of his fans, as well as the number of likes, comments, favorites, and retweets of the content he posted."
"So how can you tell if the data is true or false?"
"If you think about it, it doesn't seem like there's a particularly good way."
"The truth of this data is not only a static result, but also a dynamic process. For example, if we follow each other on platform A, and then you stop playing platform A, then your 1 number of followers is considered real data or not for me? For example, if I register two accounts on platform A and follow you at the same time, does the number of real followers you add count 1 or 2? These are easy to judge in the real world, but difficult to judge in the virtual world. If we add a bot account, this is even more difficult to judge. ”
Zhou Dashuai frowned and wondered: "No one is going to solve this problem?" ”
"Whether it is the value of personal accounts or the value of these companies, they are all based on data for business valuation, once the data shrinks, it means depreciation or even collapse. As a result, they are all rushing to pour water into it, who will go the other way to keep the truth from the false? Under this unhealthy atmosphere, bad money drives out good money, and everyone becomes a slave to data. ”
Zhou Dashuai's face became deeper after hearing this: "So the virtual world is going to the false world." ”
"I also feel this way, and now when I look back and read all kinds of books and academic theories about online product promotion, I will feel very immature, like a utopia, especially unrealistic, all of them are avoiding a core question, fairness and authenticity in this artificially created world, at least the real world still follows the natural law that does not depend on human will. For example, the word "traffic", in reality, the flow of people is at least the person I can see, and in the network, the flow is like a puff of smoke, ethereal. In the past, I focused on how to make users go viral, such as making good content, combining creativity and hot spots, and matching the people who triggered the tipping point...... But I've never thought about the deeper question, is this artificially created world fair? Is it real? If I'm in an unfair, unreal world, I compete in a fair and authentic way. Isn't it stupid to hit a stone with an egg? ”
Zhou Dashuai nodded with satisfaction and said, "It seems that I have learned a lot from Lin Sen, and you don't think you are stupid before." ”
"How dare I think I'm stupid, isn't this a slap in the face, Dad?" He laughed out loud.
"So you're going to compromise?"
Zhou Zhiqi calmed down, and her eyes revealed perseverance: "If you can't find another way out, you may be confused, but now it won't, I want to follow Lin Sen and them to see how Siwo solves this problem." ”
"Zhiqi, didn't you say you wanted to report to me?"
"Dad, I'm on the daunting task of crossing the river by feeling the stones you've delegated. Besides, we will provide you with free services to answer your questions, know everything, say everything, no matter how you count it, you have earned it. ”
"That's not what you said at the beginning." Zhou Dashuai sighed deeply and put on a look of wanting to cry without tears.
"Dad, this is too delicious, you can taste it." Saying that, he smiled happily and coaxed his father Zhou Dashuai: "Your cooking skills are amazing, I'll bring Lao Lin back another day to try it." ”
