I know that there is a big difference in user profiles between bilibili and Xiaohongshu, but I didn't realize that there is such a deep "hostility" between the user groups of these two platforms:
- "Xiaohongshu is too clean, I haven't even downloaded the B station app"
- "Today, I actually clicked on the pink app that I rarely open because of xxx"
As the two giants in the Simplified Chinese world with the strongest sense of community in their apps, it turns out that there is an antagonistic relationship between them. It's quite interesting to think about it this way (just kidding, I'm just here to watch the show).
Actually, once you realize the existence of this opposition, the reasons behind it become clear with a little thought - gender issues.
"Being a self-media worker is like working for a platform."
Well said! That's exactly it, I understand it very well. In Day13, I mentioned why should we rely on the platform's favoritism as self-media workers, why should the platform have the final say on issues like whether to limit our reach. This problem is even easier to understand within the framework of a company (but understanding doesn't mean it's reasonable). In that case, of course, we have to follow the boss's orders when working, and it's normal for most people who are laid off to not necessarily have a reason, such as randomly laying off departments that don't align with the company's development strategy...
So, the further question is, why are "you" the boss and "I" the worker? Why should "I" create achievements while "you" enjoy the benefits?
These questions are actually interconnected, "the company system is unreasonable, so we need DAO organizations" and "the platform monopolizes information creation and distribution, so we need decentralized information creation and distribution." These two are actually the same problem.
