Why did the Wallfacers and Star River Universal Entertainment's upper management unanimously decide to send Li Yao into action? Was it because Boss Li was exceptionally capable?
Was it because Boss Li had everything under control and could turn the tide? Or because Boss Li had already gained the ability to rally countless supporters online?
Of course,
Boss Li felt that he somewhat fit all of those descriptions.
But the main reason was probably because he was handsome. It definitely wasn't because everyone thought Li Yao was a shit-stirrer who could whip up a foul storm wherever he went.
Mm...
Calling those online trolls shit did seem rather fitting.
After taking on the job, Li Yao began looking into the situation in depth. When he saw all the malicious speculation online, nameless fury surged within him! Those keyboard warriors really were "heh heh heh heh" indeed!
Places like the forums were still manageable.
Although there were plenty of malicious conjectures, they were ultimately scattered forces. They mostly relied on verbal attacks and smears; they looked wild, but their actual combat strength was not particularly high.
There was nothing to be done about that.
Ever since Di Ba had been shut down, the forum faction's fighting power had declined day by day. It had become weaker with every passing day and was now practically a fringe territory for online troll armies.
Weibo was doing all right too...
Since the rise of internet celebrities and traffic stars, that place had completely turned into a marketing battlefield.
A single Weibo post from a traffic star could somehow get four or five hundred million views... How many Chinese internet users were there in total? Anyway,
after round after round of purges, the people left on Weibo were probably all "die-hard fans."
Everyone stayed within
