Soon, everything was arranged on Hu Xiao’s end.
As soon as Fei Huang Studio updated their review video, the water army would immediately go and flood the comments and likes.
For a new uploader, the effect would be more obvious, since new uploaders didn’t have fans.
Fei Huang Studio already had a large fan base, so the water army comments might not be as noticeable.
But that didn’t matter. As long as dozens or hundreds of identical comments saying “I’ve used it, this product works well, highly recommended” appeared at the same time as soon as the video was released, people would notice.
Hu Xiao kept this matter in mind, followed Fei Huang Studio, and checked their updates every so often.
After waiting until the next day, Fei Huang Studio released a video!
“Not bad, this ‘Hardcore Reviews’ has really good information.”
“They have such a clear understanding of Fei Huang Studio’s situation, their intelligence gathering ability can’t be underestimated.”
Hu Xiao increasingly felt that this “Hardcore Reviews” uploader was no ordinary person.
Looking closely, he saw the video’s title was “A Day in the Life of a Great Inventor,” and among the video’s tags, there was a keyword: “review.”
“It is a review video!”
Once he confirmed it was a review video, there was no problem. Hu Xiao immediately sent a message in the group chat, directing the water army to flood the comments!
The comment content was completely consistent, all copy-pasted: “I’ve used it, this product works really well, highly recommended!”
Many comments were gradually posted.
Since Fei Huang Studio already had quite a few fans, there were also some normal fan comments mixed in, such as:
“Coming back from the dead?”
“Missing person returns?”
“When will the next season of ‘Mr. Pei’s Daily Life’ be filmed!”
“First comment!”
Comments like these.
But even so, the water army comments still made up the majority.
And the water army would also repeatedly like other water army comments, which meant that the top-ranking hot comments were all occupied by water army comments!
Hu Xiao looked at the results of his water army command and couldn’t help feeling proud.
What did it matter if they had many fans? They were still drowned in the tide of water army comments!
Flooding comments like this had quite a big impact.
For similar review-type programs, they couldn’t earn much from AiLiDao’s daily creative incentives. Making money mainly relied on sponsors, commonly referred to as “sponsored content.”
But if a video had many water army comments, especially those that were fake at a glance, it would significantly affect sponsored content opportunities.
For fans, if a review channel they followed hired water armies and took bad money, it would affect the objectivity of the reviews, and some fans might unfollow.
And for the sponsors, if this review program were hiring water armies, wouldn’t there be a possibility of data falsification? If they sponsored this program, would it not have the desired effect and instead damage their product’s reputation?
These concerns could all cause some adverse effects.
Of course, a small amount of water army activity wouldn’t have a decisive impact on Fei Huang Studio.
But it would still be a rather troublesome and thorny issue.
Hu Xiao waited patiently for a while, then planned to check the video to see everyone’s feedback.
According to Hu Xiao’s estimation, there would be two possible scenarios.
First, because the water army’s behavior was too obvious, viewers would get into a heated argument with the water army, making the comment section a complete mess.
This was what Hu Xiao would be most pleased to see.
Second, Fei Huang Studio would quickly discover the water army and start deleting comments on a large scale.
But no matter how many comments they deleted, some people would still see them, and the water army could post comments quickly. They might even be able to make an issue out of the deleted comments.
…
Two hours later.
“That should be enough time. Let’s see the results!”
Hu Xiao checked the comment section of “A Day in the Life of a Great Inventor.”
After looking, he was deeply confused.
What was going on?
There was no argument?
In fact, there were even more people commenting “I’ve used it, this product works really well, highly recommended.”?
Hu Xiao was bewildered.
Were the water armies continuing to post?
That didn’t make sense. Water armies were paid to do a job, they would post exactly as many comments as they were paid for. How could they be so enthusiastic?
So what was happening?
With confusion and bewilderment, Hu Xiao opened the video to investigate.
…
…
In the video was a young man with a blank expression.
“My name is Sun Aidi, English name Edison. I am a great inventor.”
“This is my latest invention, a handheld portable washing machine.”
The portable washing machine in the young man’s hand appeared in the frame. It was a cylindrical object similar to a water cup, with a miniature brush head at the top, along with a motor, battery, and water tank.
“It has a high-efficiency motor inside that can drive the brush head to vibrate quickly and spray the appropriate amount of water to moisten stained areas.”
“At this point, you just need to take out a small amount of pre-prepared laundry detergent, pour it on the stain, and then repeatedly clean with the portable washing machine. This way, your clothes can be spotlessly clean anytime, anywhere, and you never have to worry about getting dirty again!”
“I plan to apply for a patent for my new invention right away. It should quickly go into production, receive rave reviews, achieve explosive sales, secure financing for an IPO, build a business empire, and reach the pinnacle of life!”
The scene changed to a restaurant.
A pretty girl sat across from Edison, and they were having a meal together.
“Today I’m having dinner with Xiao Mei. This is the perfect opportunity to let her see my invention. This way she will admire me, look up to me, and hang on my every word!”
When toasting, Edison deliberately shook his hand, spilling a few drops of wine on Xiao Mei’s dress.
“Oh no!” Xiao Mei quickly grabbed a nearby napkin, preparing to wipe it off.
“Xiao Mei, leave it to me!!”
Sun Aidi immediately took out the portable washing machine he had prepared in advance and pressed the switch.
The head of the portable washing machine immediately began to vibrate rapidly and spray water.
The image froze, showing close-ups of the frozen expressions of everyone in the restaurant.
Xiao Mei paused, then picked up the phone on the table: “Hello? Is this 110?” [Police emergency number]
The scene changed to a roadside barbecue stall.
Sun Aidi was eating skewers while sobbing with his buddy.
His friend kept comforting him: “It’s okay, Edison. Xiao Mei just misunderstands you for now. She will forgive you!”
As they were eating, a piece of meat covered in fat dropped onto his friend’s sleeve.
Sun Aidi immediately widened his eyes: “Don’t move!! Leave it to me!!”
He once again took out the portable washing machine from his backpack and extended it toward his friend’s oil-stained sleeve.
His friend looked shocked: “Edison! Is this your newly invented portable washing machine? Such a big help! Quick, help me clean it!”
Sun Aidi was instantly motivated, striking several poses with the portable washing machine.
A moment later, Sun Aidi thought of something: “Do you… have any laundry detergent?”
His friend: “?”
Sun Aidi: “This kind of stubborn oil stain must be washed with laundry detergent to be cleaned properly. Do you have any?”
“Or, soap would work too.”
His friend: “???”
After several scenes.
Sun Aidi slumped on his sofa at home.
“My name is Sun Aidi, English name Edison. I am a great inventor.”
“I’ve made an invention that could change the world, but no one understands it.”
“If you’re interested in my invention, please be sure to contact me.”
“We can quickly go into production, receive rave reviews, achieve explosive sales, secure financing for an IPO, build a business empire, and reach the pinnacle of life!”
…
…
Looking at the bullet comments and the comment section:
“Is this Fei Huang Studio’s new program? It’s so interesting!”
“Hahaha, it’s still the same flavor!”
“Who added the ‘review’ tag to this video? I’m dying of laughter!”
“This washing machine is really useful, may I ask where it’s sold?”
“Followed! As long as you don’t invent anything useful, I’ll keep following!”
“I’ve used it, this product works well, highly recommended!”
“I’ve used it, this product works well, highly recommended! +1”
Whether in hot comments or bullet comments, this phrase appeared uniformly, causing many viewers to follow the trend.
Hu Xiao scratched his head in confusion.
What was going on?
Where were his water armies?
He had hired so many water armies?
How had they perfectly blended into the audience comments without causing any ripples?
Reviewing what had happened, Hu Xiao sent a confused message back to “Hardcore Reviews”: “Brother, which… side are you actually on?”
