Global Monopoly of Technology

The huge bounty of 150 million US dollars began to enter into the frenzy consumption, because in the following days, users were uploading videos frantically, and some of them were purely for the sake of making money. There are many of these people.

And these are all within the expectations of Luo Sheng and the actual operation management team of Bluestar Video. They are not afraid of their wool, but they are afraid that if they do not upload videos, the internal system will identify and analyze repeated videos.

Naturally, video sites were quickly flooded with a lot of low-quality, homogenous videos.

However, there are ways to solve this. The operation team has developed a relevant push algorithm, which is mainly based on the logic of the last elimination, filtering a large number of inferior videos to ensure that the homepage of the website must be the highest quality video.

In fact, Luo Sheng set up a development team to recommend a new push algorithm for users’ personal preferences and recommend similar videos to users based on their viewing history. This algorithm will be applied to both the domestic version of Bluestar videos and the international version of BV videos.

This is a big killer, a real big move.

But there is also a premise that the content of the website is rich enough to select and push videos suitable for each user.

So far, Luo Sheng has not planned to release this big move. One is that the development is difficult and the time period is long. Of course, it is not too difficult for Luo Sheng, but his time is precious.

The larger the company is, the more it is handed over to the main engineers to be responsible for the development, and the guidance is the main one.

If every project needs him to lead, why do so many engineers need to do? You are also exhausted yourself.

With the launch of the BV video site in the third month, once the 150 million reward plan was launched, a large number of original videos also skyrocketed like a virus.

Unknowingly, three weeks have passed, and three weeks have been rotated. 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. The weekly settlement is completed. Imported into the account designated by each UP master.

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

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

On November 3, the data jumped to 15 million;

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

And on November 21, which is the third month after the launch of the BV video, it recorded 71.5 million horror views.

BV video sites have suddenly become a phenomenon in Europe and America, especially in North America.

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

...

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

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

Currently, the top five websites in North America are: Yahoo, AOL, MSN, eBay, and Google.

Bluestar Technology has three websites squeezed into the top25 list, among which the BlueSpace website ranks 12th, the Reddit website ranks 19th, and the BluestarVideo online video website that has just entered the list ranks 20th.

The 150 million US dollars made the BV website a phenomenal hit in just three months after its launch.

It shocked the industry, and it gave people the feeling that it was...a complete fire overnight.

You won't be given any chance to react at all. It's really like waking up and suddenly it's on fire. This is the biggest feeling for people in the industry.

Such popularity has naturally attracted a large number of people's research, and some people in the industry believe that there are three reasons for the great success of BV websites, one is the industry-leading streaming media technology, the other is a gorgeous marketing, and the other The third is Google's arbitrariness, which made them miss the explosive point of online video.

Because in the middle of November, Google did a stupid thing.

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

At the same time, on November 25, Google posted a blog post "We turn to TV", which was a bit ambitious and full of confidence.

Basically, Google's entry into the online video space has already made its mark, and the next day it announced its product manager, a middle-aged man named John Picitero.

John posted a message on his blog that day:

[How to get to Wisconsin and seek some local travel information? I'm in my hotel room, turning on the TV, turning the channels, and watching some travel shows at a leisurely pace when I have the idea that someone must be producing a travel short film about Wisconsin somewhere... Apparently, This clip is nowhere to be found. ]

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

And according to John, the software allows users to search for recent TV programs, in other words, Google sees video as an aid to its mission to digitize the world's information.

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

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

Apparently, Google sees video as just another source of data for search mining.

To put it bluntly, it is still a search service. If you want to make video a search service, it can only be said that there has not been a person who can really understand streaming video within the Google team.

John Pisitello, the man who successfully killed Google, missed the online video trend perfectly.

The international version of the BV video website became popular, and at the same time, the domestic version of Bluestar Video, which was launched simultaneously, did not stop developing in the past three months.

However, Blue Star Video does not have a bounty plan.

Due to different national conditions and different environments, the methods must naturally be changed.

Luo Sheng is extremely convinced that if he chooses to do this at home, it will be a waste of time, and some people will definitely doubt his life.

And it is completely unnecessary, because the international version of the BV website cannot upload copyrighted videos casually.

But domestic...

Users can upload videos by themselves, but the amount is really small. You must know that many people cannot afford equipment, so how can you shoot videos?

But this does not mean that there is no content. On the Blue Star video website, users can see various American TV series, Hollywood blockbusters, animated movies, etc. after opening the webpage. If this is placed on the international version of the online video website, Luo Sheng will be accused of Bankruptcy is impossible.

However, it cannot be made clear. Bluestar Video has a super classic rogue-like 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 and we will remove it. Related infringing videos.

Other websites don't even bother to make a statement, that is, direct piracy.

Luo Sheng even made a disclaimer for Bluestar Video.

In this regard, copyright owners, especially foreign copyright owners, have nothing to do. If they want to file a lawsuit in China, in this era, foreign copyright owners, whether video, music, or stand-alone games. , or something else, even a lawyer doesn't want to write to me.

Because it's useless, the long litigation period is basically impossible to win, and if you win, you will be fined tens of thousands of yuan. For a company like Bluestar Technology, it really doesn't hurt.

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

Several Hollywood movie giants all know that Luo Sheng has been very rich recently, raising a huge sum of 1.275 billion US dollars.

As a result, after waiting for a full three months, it is not likely 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.

Why is it different than expected?

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

Take the online novel industry as an example. The rare platinum gods in the top position can even rely on a book to achieve financial freedom in first-tier cities. What’s more, the copyright of the new book has not been uploaded and has been sold for thousands of dollars. Therefore, piracy is not only harmless to them, but beneficial.

But what about middle- and low-level authors, especially those in full-time status like Zhaoling, who expect the worst to live by their royalties. No subscription is a dead end, and the popularity brought about by piracy cannot bring any economic benefits at all, because medium The works of low-level creators have the opportunity to expand their popularity, but they have not reached it. It is just an opportunity, but the existence of piracy and the inability to piracy directly kill the only opportunity.

Because you have a 99% probability, you will die before the popularity of the work is enough to generate considerable income, and the category of the work itself means that some are naturally suitable for copyright operations such as adaptation, and there are some inherent advantages, such as Zhaoling. There is absolutely no chance of adaptation of this kind of scientific and technological article written, let alone 99.99% impossible.

It is impossible to operate the copyright over there. It has been hit hard by piracy. There is no royalties. Of course, it is starved to death.

Therefore, many authors have changed careers, or eunuchs, etc., because the use of love to generate electricity can last for a while, but it will never last forever. The promise of writing online articles on a hungry stomach, Zhaoling feels that there is no other value than selling poor sympathy.

Zhaoling is not covering up the eunuchs for some works. The eunuchs are shameful. They are hurting the readers who subscribe to your works, and they are also hurting their own character. The result of both readers and writers losing. In the team of eunuchs, Zhaoling also has a place in it. Zhaoling is not shy about this, and he can't avoid it. Readers only need to open your historical works to see it.

This is indeed very sorry to the readers who subscribe to Zhaoling's works, especially those readers who still spend money on Zhaoling's works all the way up to now, feel and feel sorry for them, such as "Xuewu Bingfei" sister paper, From the eunuch's support of "Tech Giant" all the way to now, it is currently at the first position on the new book fan list, super touched~~

In the book on the starting point, there are various reasons for eunuchs, some of which are irresponsible for some authors themselves, and some are force majeure, such as 404 and other force majeure factors.

To be honest, this book is Zhaoling's "spare tire" for "Black Tech Big Crocodile". The big Crocodile's book is still being updated intermittently. The reason why Zhaoling is currently double-opening is that as a middle and low-level creator, he is always faced with The book will suddenly disappear, Zhaoling will have no source of income, and the road to a complete death in his career is getting closer and closer.

Readers who have followed the book of predators should know that this book almost died in July this year. Now Zhaoling is doing his best to rescue, strive for an update, and update it slowly, because he doesn’t want to be sorry again and again. Readers who paid to subscribe.

People without far-sightedness must have near-term worries. The new book Global Monopoly came out under such circumstances. All this is because Zhaoling did not want to bid farewell to his writing career because of starvation. , but also fell in love with it.

There must be many authors who have changed careers because of such reasons, bid farewell to their writing career, and left the name of eunuchs. Zhaoling is luckier than these people so far. Although he has lost his skin, at least he has not died, so thank you very much for your support along the way. Readers of , there is absolutely no polite word here, or I would have died long ago.

Zhaoling personally thinks that it is a pity and sad that some authors who "generate electricity with love" are eventually killed by prostitutes for nothing. In a small way, this is just a parting of a creator's dream, no one will care, and in a big way It is said that it is a harm to the entire online literature industry system and even all industries related to copyright operation. I don't care about that or that... Big problems are often caused by the stacking of small problems. If the small problems are solved, the big problems Often it doesn't appear.

Zhao Ling, who is also very distressed about the prostitutes and so on, is helpless. In such a big environment, what about the little people? It's just that Zhaoling sincerely hopes that the prostitutes who prostitute prostitutes because of economic reasons and cannot support genuine prostitution, so they prostitute prostitutes. The world needs mutual understanding to make it a better place.

Instead of piracy and prostitution, he said arrogantly: "Seeing that your work has brought you traffic and popularity is already the greatest support and the greatest face for you. Don't be greedy and insufficient."

This sentence hurts creators, especially middle- and low-level creators, ten times and a hundred times more than piracy.

Just say that.

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

Thank you also for reading my book, it's an honor.
