The group gods who retired to fish in Genshin Impact

Okay, brothers, now we are finally going to the factory.

I have no choice but to go to the factory. I have to switch to the annual shift. It’s not accurate to say it’s the annual shift. I’ll just switch to the slag shift.

Oh, I know this news may be surprising to you, but to be honest, I was also surprised, because I just discovered it suddenly, or saw it suddenly, in the past two days.

The reason for this is that we authors usually have author groups, don’t we? On the one hand, we can communicate with other authors, and on the other hand, we work under the same editor, so it is convenient to communicate in the editor’s author group.

These two days, on a whim and because I had nothing to do, I checked the group and found that everyone was talking about new books flopped and old books' revenue declined.

There are also some books that I am writing that have suddenly seen a drop in traffic and unit prices.

Originally I didn’t care about this because I hadn’t paid attention to the data of my book for a long time.

I haven't even looked at the revenue for several months. Anyway, from last year to now, it has been very stable at around 1500 to 2000 people per day, and I make 10 to 15 yuan a day.

There is no point in watching it, and it makes me upset.

And although the mobile backend does not display readers' comments, you can still see the data occasionally, including some annoying reminders, such as traffic decline and quality improvement.

They said that this chapter had a serious reader loss and they were looking for problems, but I was too lazy to even take a look at it.

What the fuck is this? How could I not know? Besides, there are only a few books that can be completed normally on a stupid platform, and even fewer that can be written long.

Most of them are completed between 50 and 100 million words. After 100 million words, there is no way for others to survive. Damn, this old book of mine is more than two years old and has more than 500 million words.

You still expect me to get new traffic for you? If I had such awesome ability, I would still be writing here. Damn it, the platform really doesn’t understand its own positioning.

There is also the issue of serious reader loss. That’s a joke. I have started writing this book as a diary. Why should I care about reader loss? Isn’t the loss a small number?

There are only a few people following the latest chapter, about 20 people. This is the highest number. In the past few days, there are only about 20 people following the latest chapter.

I'm already in this situation, what else do I have to worry about? Even if he leaves, what can I do?

As I said, when there are few people, one more or one less will not make much difference, and when there are many people, one more or one less will not make much difference.

So anyway, it’s just one more, not too many, and one less, so what do I have to worry about? What do I have to look at?

Don’t I know my problem? I know it very well. I have been talking about my problem since the beginning of this book.

But if I change, I will not be myself anymore. I will be like this. The problem is there, but I just won’t change. What do you care about me?

So I rarely go to the backend, but today when I saw others chatting in that group, I went to the backend on a whim and found that it was true.

Just like they said, basically most authors were affected.

After going around in circles, I found that basically all the authors who had chatted with me in the group had poor data for their new books and declining revenue from their old books.

A few can still maintain a daily income of around 1000, but some have a daily income of only a few dozen, 100, or 200, and some even have a crazy drop in daily income, and the speed of the drop is terrifying.

Let me put it this way, one author’s monthly income was around 1400, and then it only took him 5 days to drop to 200 a day.

What kind of terrifying concept is this? Let me tell you this, at the peak of my book's popularity, 690 people read it a day, and the daily income was yuan.

How long did it take me to drop to over 200? It took me about a month to drop to over .

That is to say, this person completed what I would have done in a month in just 5 days, with his popularity twice as high as mine at its peak.

This obviously has nothing to do with the quality of the book. Because there are problems with the quality of his book, it is impossible for him to have such high data.

And even if there is a problem with the quality of the books, the speed at which they fell is too fast. You can't say that some people just gave the money here and then ran away.

So this is a very incredible thing for the author, and it has been discussed over the past few days.

There is no clue as to the result of the discussion, because this thing is ultimately decided by the platform. To put it bluntly, the final right of interpretation lies with the platform. If they get rid of your people and the price, you can't do anything about it.

So basically I posted it in the group, and then everyone was thinking about the next way out.

I have some spare money and don't have much pressure to survive for the time being, but I still want to give it another try. In case I can get a good grade in one of the books, I can basically have some free time for a few months, or even a year or two.

After all, the upper and lower limits of novels are extremely outrageous. Some people can read a book for a lifetime, and even their children can continue to read it.

Some are the ones who spend money lavishly, or don’t have much money, and some of their books don’t perform very well, so they are under great pressure to survive and are considering changing careers.

Because the novel industry is unclear now, you have no idea what the market needs. It is said that with the support of big data algorithms, it is possible to accurately locate the category of readers that meet the requirements of this book.

But in reality, what is recommended is basically a bunch of crap.

It is impossible to precisely classify a book into a certain category. We can only say that it falls roughly into a certain category, and then there are various stories.

Then a big data algorithm has to limit a book to one label, which is simply impossible.

It is impossible for a reader to read books of only one category. He will definitely read whatever book he likes.

It is impossible for him to read that type of book all his life, so forget about the large numbers. It seems to be beneficial to the author and the readers, but in fact it is bullshit.

It is impossible for 99% of readers to read only one type of book in their entire life. Similarly, it is impossible for 99% of authors to say that I write about urban life and my book only contains urban content.

He must have mixed in other stories, perhaps involving some fantasy, or perhaps some supernatural and daily life.

Anyway, he can't be stuck in the urban category forever, just like writing about daily life, and he can't always be stuck in the daily life.

He must have other stories, such as those involving business competition and political power.

And it belongs to another category.

So when the content of this classification collides with the positioning of his book, how does big data determine whether this book should be pushed to cities or to those who like to read about commercial hegemony or official politics?

It can be said that today’s big data can accurately locate the interests and hobbies of many people and provide recommendations.

But this is not like watching videos. Some people like to watch funny things, some like to watch delicious food, some like to watch beautiful women, and some like to watch handsome men.

Watching videos is generally quite fixed, but reading novels is different.

To put it bluntly, there are only one kind of categories for videos. If you label yourself as a food video, it will be recommended to those who like to watch food. If you label yourself as a good-looking video or something borderline good-looking, it will be recommended to those who like to watch that kind of thing.

This is a very simple classification and does not require anything extra. Even if you shoot a great video, you only need to add a beauty tag to your label and it will be pushed to the corresponding user.

But how do you judge a novel? A novel requires many, many stories that connect, blend, and contrast with each other, and it is impossible for each of these stories to be locked into just one style or category.

Especially nowadays, people say that brain holes are urban brain holes or fantasy brain holes or something like that, but many times they are basically just telling stories of other categories under a different skin, and you simply cannot judge whether it is a normal brain hole or not.

What's more, Tomato's definition of imagination is very arbitrary.

As long as you have a system, you belong to the category of brain hole works. As long as you don’t have a system, even if you choose urban brain hole or other brain hole categories for yourself, it will be classified into other categories.

For example, Ling Yi, Jiang Shi Prequel, Le Ming and others, I chose all the imaginative works, but they were all assigned to other categories, which have nothing to do with the labels I chose.

Do you think this situation is reasonable?

What I wrote was clearly a work of imaginative style, and because my book had no system, your big data directly classified me into other categories and pushed me into other categories.

Then they click in and see that this is not the style of this category at all, so many people won’t even take a second look and will leave after the first glance.

In this case, unless you have very strong ability to retain people, many people will not watch it again. If you have such ability, why are you here? You can earn more on other paid platforms.

Therefore, there are certain problems with the Tomato platform’s positioning of works, including the positioning and division of readers, which is also a problem with most current platforms.

Relying on big data algorithms can indeed locate the hobbies of some users, but novels are not like videos.

The video can continue in one style or just have one theme.

For example, if I am making horror games, I can keep making horror games, and then people who like horror games will follow me, and then my videos will be recommended to more people who like horror game videos.

If I do some movie commentary or anime commentary, I will attract a group of people who also like this type of commentary, and then my videos will be pushed to more people who like this type of commentary.

The video itself is relatively simple, it is of the same type and style.

Therefore, with the help of big data algorithms, videos will be pushed to certain users more accurately, and even if some users have diverse tastes, they still have a certain range.

It's impossible for him to watch funny videos every day and then suddenly one day become so depressed that he has to watch some kind of heart-wrenching drama. It's impossible.

Generally speaking, people who like good endings will prefer good endings, and people who like bad endings will prefer bad endings.

It's not like he likes a good ending today and a bad ending tomorrow. It's like a madman. That's impossible.

Just like when you read novels, you are used to reading novels written by relatively high-quality authors with unique personal styles. If you go back and read those naive and brainless novels, can you still read them? You can’t.

The same goes for the video and the plot. If you like this style, then when you choose to watch these videos, you will consciously choose the style you like. Even if there are occasionally some videos of other styles mixed in, there won't be too many.

Therefore, video plus big data algorithm is the best and also provides the most accurate recommendations.

Whether it is a blogger who makes videos or an up-host, it has its own style and type.

Just like game bloggers and up masters, what they produce is the content of the game, which may be strategies, exploration, plot explanation, and world view analysis, which all belong to one category of games.

If he does this full-time, he will naturally attract audiences who like to watch these things, and he himself is easier to label.

It is impossible for him to post a guide today, a research article tomorrow, shoot a funny video the day after tomorrow, edit the game plot the day after tomorrow, and then put together a ghost video. This is impossible.
