Fishing Livestream
Chapter 232 - 232 The 232 low-end gameplay

232: The 232 low-end gameplay 232: The 232 low-end gameplay In the comment section of the two popular clips Yue Feng uploaded yesterday, there appeared many comments that were somewhat ostentatious.

At first glance, these comments seemed unproblematic, but as Yue Feng patiently scrolled further, he noticed something amiss.

Many comments were almost identical, it was less like posting and more like copy-pasting!

If it was a specific meme or joke, Yue Feng wouldn’t mind, after all, there’s a rich variety of online trends, and viral jokes have never ceased.

Whether it’s streamers or ordinary users, most would simply smile knowingly and move on without delving deeper.

But now, the content of the comments was way off.

It wasn’t related to any popular punchlines; it was more like burning paper money at a grave, deceit intended for the dead.

Yue Feng had already gained a basic understanding of the guild’s common boosting strategies during his previous conversation with Sister Hong, and such low-level comment spamming was actually looked down upon by professional guilds.

With that spare time, it would be better to invest money into big data analytics and precise fan targeting!

Intervening from the base of the live-streaming ecosystem to increase exposure and attention to the content had a much stronger effect than spamming comments or clicks!

Yet now, something that shouldn’t have occurred was taking place, and it was no wonder Yue Feng felt uncomfortable.

This feeling was even more nauseating than moralists flaunting their presence in the comment section.

Yue Feng wasn’t the only one feeling uncomfortable; the guild’s team leader, Sister Hong, also felt extremely uneasy.

Yesterday evening, Sister Hong had called Yue Feng to ask about a problem with the operation data on the backend, only to get the reply that he knew nothing and had performed no abnormal activities!

Come morning, Sister Hong habitually checked Yue Feng’s clips, which had been promoted for half the night, and also noticed the awkward comments in the comment section.

These accounts, bearing different names and scarce information, without any posts of their own, bore obvious traces of being operated by bots and were blatantly visible in the comment section.

What era are we in that we’re still playing these low-level games?

That’s just too low!

After spotting this, Sister Hong exited the comment section.

She would have to bring this up at the regular meeting.

This wasn’t simply a matter of personal sentiment.

The various operational resources of the guild had been obtained through various costs and deals with platforms, but that didn’t mean the guild could do whatever it wanted without regard for the platform’s rules.

There were rules to everything, and messing up with such cheap tricks like spamming comments could backfire if detected by the platform’s monitoring systems.

If caught, the consequences could range from reduced visibility to account suspension or data deletion, rendering all the guild’s efforts futile.

Around nine o’clock, during the company’s regular meeting, after going through the usual agenda, Sister Hong tactfully reported the situation to Brother Sheng.

In front of his subordinates, Brother Sheng showed no obvious reaction, merely acknowledging he was aware and would handle it separately later.

After the meeting dispersed, Brother Sheng immediately called WaWa.

“Hello, WaWa?

Did you buy comments for Yue Feng??” Brother Sheng was always decisive and to the point when it came to serious matters.

“What?

Buy comments?

What comments?” WaWa was baffled for a second, not comprehending what had happened.

It was just after nine in the morning, and WaWa, a night owl, had not yet gotten out of bed.

Answering the phone, he was a bit groggy and clearly not fully awake.

“In the new clips that the guild helped boost with traffic yesterday, there were numerous signs of artificial comment boosting!

We can confirm that our guild hasn’t engaged in such low-level antics.

Sister Hong told me about it in our morning meeting and I wanted to get verification from you immediately!” Brother Sheng explained the situation succinctly.

“Oh, I didn’t buy it!

Why would I buy that thing?

If I really wanted Fengfeng to get a little advantage, wouldn’t it be simpler and more brutal just to go live and check out a room online, and if we have money, why not just buy some meat for ourselves to enjoy?” Probably only Baby has the confidence to say this on the whole net!

And Big Brother Sheng couldn’t even refute it, the girl really had the confidence to say it.

“Now we can be sure that someone has been boosting it with low-level comments in the jokes.

We still don’t know which part of the process it is!

Later, get in touch with Yue Feng.

If he did it himself, tell him to stop; it affects the overall boosting efficiency!

If it crosses the lines of the official platform’s regulation, and gets down-ranked, it’s not worth the loss!”

“Okay, I’ll ask!

Anything else?”

“Nothing for now, just keep going with the work plan I sent you before, and you’ll be okay!”

“Got it!”

…

After hanging up the phone, Baby hurriedly called Yue Feng and found out it wasn’t Yue Feng who did it!

This was confusing!

Although low-level boosting doesn’t work well and has many downsides, it’s still a form of boosting.

The most important thing is, despite being low-end, this kind of service isn’t cheap – comments are charged by the piece, and usually, they come bundled with likes and completion rates.

Each comment could cost several dollars.

Based on the data from Yue Feng’s jokes, we’re probably talking tens of thousands of dollars at the conservative end.

And that’s just an estimate based on fuzzy data; it could actually be higher.

“I’ve signed with the guild; I definitely wouldn’t spend my own money on that!

With that spare cash, I’d rather go to your live broadcast and hit the rankings, which wouldn’t be too bad either!” Yue Feng said, frustrated.

“Cut it out, all talk and no action, how long has it been since you’ve been to my stream!” Baby was quite happy to hear Yue Feng’s words, but although she was happy inside, she couldn’t show it completely, and couldn’t help but take the opportunity to tease Yue Feng.

“Hehe, I’ve been busy recently, but now I’ve got more time.

I’ll do some research on broadcasting content and do an indoor livestream tonight.

I’ll definitely come to see you then, just wait for me, alright!”

“Fine, you’re a puppy if you don’t!”

“Deal!”

She hadn’t found the reason for the problem, but Baby was quite happy.

This big baddie had finally come to his senses, and it wasn’t in vain that she had put in so much effort.

After hanging up, Yue Feng only dwelled on Baby’s problem for a little while before he let it go.

He couldn’t blame her for the teasing, recognizing he had indeed been a bit lacking.

It was time to find some content to livestream and interact with Baby!

What should he broadcast?

Yue Feng started to ponder to himself.

Co-streaming wouldn’t work while fishing.

It could disrupt the rhythm of fishing; the fishing might not go well, and the co-streaming effect could suffer, a lose-lose situation.

Unless it was the kind of slow-rhythm Big Fish Pit.

That might offer an opportunity.

But Qiangzi had an injury and definitely couldn’t accompany Yue Feng to fish for big catches in the next few days, and Big Brother Liu Fengnian was quite busy lately.

After some brief consideration, the option of live streaming commercial fishing wasn’t feasible at the moment.

Just as he was hesitating, his phone suddenly beeped.

Yue Feng looked at it and saw that a text message had come in.
