Chapter 105 [Google's Arbitrary]
The huge bounty of $150 million began to enter a crazy consumption, because in the following days, users were uploading videos crazy, and some of them were just to make money. Many of them were there.
All of these are expected by Luo Sheng and the actual operation and management team of bluestarvideo. They are not afraid of them making money, but they are afraid that they will not upload videos, and the internal system will analyze the repeated videos.
Naturally, video websites are quickly filled with a large number of inferior and homogeneous videos.
However, there is a solution to this. The operation team has developed relevant push algorithms, mainly filtering the logic of the last-place elimination, filtering a large number of inferior videos to ensure that the homepage of the website must be the best video.
In fact, Luo Sheng formed a development team to recommend new push algorithms for similar videos to users based on viewing history according to users' personal preferences. This algorithm will be applied to domestic versions of Blue Star Video and international versions of BV Video.
This is a big killer weapon, the real big move.
But there is also a prerequisite, that is, the content of the website is rich enough to select and push videos suitable for every user.
So far, Luo Sheng does not intend to release this big move. One is that it is difficult to develop and has a long time period. Of course, it is not very difficult for Luo Sheng, but his time is precious.
The company is getting bigger and bigger, and it is more important to give the main engineers the responsibility for development, and they mainly focus on guidance.
If he had to take charge of every project, why would he have to do so many engineers? I would have to be exhausted.
With the third month of the launch of the bv video website, once the 150 million reward plan was launched, a large number of original videos also skyrocketed like a viral surge.
Before we knew it, three weeks passed and three weeks were rotated. During these three weeks, the new videos locked on the top 200 list received revenue, with a minimum of US$145 and a maximum of US$30,000. The weekly settlement was completed and transferred to the account designated by each up owner.
In the third month of the launch of the bv video website, the industry was stunned by the growth of various data of the website.
Starting from October 27, the bv video website received 10 million views per day;
On November 3, the data jumped to 15 million;
On November 10, the website exceeded 30 million views per day;
On November 21, the third month of the launch of BV Video, it hit 71.5 million horror views.
bv video websites suddenly became a phenomenon in Europe and the United States, especially in North America.
In North America, hot topics about this online video website once exceeded those of the bluespae social website. Everyone is hotly discussing the videos above, hotly discussing on BS social websites, or on Internet social platforms such as reddit.
...
By the end of November, more than 45 million videos on the BV online video website were clicked and viewed every day. 35% of the videos watched online in North America came from the BV website, and the data was still growing wildly.
Following this trend, it will exceed 50% by the beginning of next year, and it will also squeeze into the top 20 for the first time among the most visited websites in North America, with the website ranking 20th.
Currently, the top five websites in North America are: Yahoo, aol, msn, ebay, and Google.
Bluestar Technology has three websites that have squeezed into the top25 list, among which Bluespae is ranked 12th, Reddit is ranked 19th, and Bluestarvideo online video website that has just entered the list ranked 20th.
The $150 million made the bv website a phenomenal hit in just three months of launching, shocking the industry, giving people the feeling that it was... it became completely popular overnight.
I don’t give you any chance to react. It’s really like waking up and suddenly becoming popular. This is the biggest feeling for the industry insiders.
Such popularity naturally attracted a large number of people's research. After researching, some industry insiders believe that there are three major successes of BV websites: one is leading the industry's streaming technology, the second is a gorgeous marketing, and the third is Google's arbitrary policy, which made them miss the explosion point of online videos.
Because during this period of November, Google did something stupid.
In Google's opinion, video clips on BV websites are poor quality and as valuable as dregs, so they are removed from Google searches.
At the same time, on November 25, Google posted a blog post on its blog, which was a bit ambitious and confident.
Basically, Google is about to enter the online video field and announced the product manager the next day, a middle-aged man named John Picitello.
John posted a message on his blog that day:
[How to seek some local travel information in Wisconsin? I turned on the TV, started to flip through channels, and watched some travel programs leisurely. At this time, I suddenly had an idea that someone must have produced a travel short film about Wisconsin somewhere... Obviously, this short film is nowhere to be found.]
Three days after the blog post was published, Google officially proposed the solution Googlevideo.
According to John, this software allows users to search for recent TV programs. In other words, Google regards video as an auxiliary tool for the digital world's information mission.
The news also reached Luo Sheng's ears. After reading Google's so-called solution, he threw the report into the trash can.
Because Luo Sheng felt that if Google played like this, he would have won, and there was no suspense.
Obviously, Google regards video as just another source of data for search and mining.
To put it bluntly, it is still a search service. If you want to make videos serve search, you can only say that there has not been a person within Google’s team who can truly understand streaming videos.
John Picitero successfully killed Google and missed the online video.
The international version of the BV video website has become popular, and at the same time, the domestic version of Blue Star Video, which was launched simultaneously in the past three months, has not stopped developing.
However, Blue Star Video has no reward plan.
Different national conditions and different environments, so the methods naturally need to change.
Luo Sheng is extremely convinced that if he chooses to do this in China and is wasted all of them, he will definitely be suspected of his life by some people.
And it is completely unnecessary, because the international version of the bv website cannot upload copyrighted videos casually.
But domestic...
Users can upload videos themselves, but the amount is really small. You should know that many people can't afford equipment, so how can they shoot videos?
But this does not mean there is no content. On the Blue Star Video website, users can see various American dramas, Hollywood blockbusters, animated movies, etc. After opening the web page, they can see various American dramas, Hollywood blockbusters, animated movies, etc. If this is placed on the international version of the online video website, Luo Sheng will not be sued until bankruptcy.
However, it cannot be made explicit. Blue Star 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 the relevant infringing videos.
Other websites are too lazy to even make statements, they just pirated the version directly.
Luo Sheng tried to persuade Lanxing Video to give a disclaimer.
In this regard, the copyright holder, especially the copyright holder abroad, has no choice but to sue in China. In this era, even a lawyer does not want to send a letter to the foreign copyright holder, whether it is video, music, stand-alone games, or anything else.
Because it is useless, the long litigation period is basically impossible to win, and if you win, you will be fined tens of thousands of yuan. For companies like Bluestar Technology, it is really not painful.
This time, several major Hollywood film companies were looking forward to it, waiting for Luo Sheng to find them to buy copyrights, just like he went to discuss copyright cooperation with the five major record giants, and came to them to give them money.
Several major movie giants in Hollywood know that Luo Sheng has been very generous recently, raising a huge sum of $1.275 billion.
As a result, after waiting for a full three months, Bluestar Technology may not have 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 stunned.
Why is it different from what you expect?

(ps: In addition to writing about the protagonist's operational layout and development strategy for the new product, this chapter is also a kind of helplessness and heartache for those pirated merchants and p2p free parties. For top creators, piracy may be mixed, because piracy also indirectly expands the popularity of their works while losing profits, but for middle and low-level creators, it is a fatal injury, and even falls into a vicious cycle and eventually dies.
Take the online novel industry as an example. The rare platinum masters in the top position can even achieve financial freedom in first-tier cities by relying on a book. What's more, the copyright of the new book has been sold before it has been uploaded, and the price is tens of millions. Therefore, piracy is not only harmless, but also beneficial to them.
But for middle and low-level authors, especially those in full-time state like Zhaoling, who expect to live the most miserable life, without subscription, it is a dead end. The little popularity brought by pirated copies cannot bring any economic benefits at all, because the works of middle and low-level creators have the opportunity to expand their popularity but cannot reach them. It is just an opportunity, but the existence of pirated copies and the power to pirated copies directly kill the only opportunity.
Because at a 99% chance, you have died before the popularity of the work is enough to create considerable returns, and the category of the work itself means that some are naturally suitable for adaptation and other copyright operations, and they are somewhat born without advantages. For example, such technological articles like Zhao Ling wrote, it is absolutely impossible to have the opportunity to adapt, and it is definitely 99.99% impossible.
There is no possibility of copyright operation there, but it was hit hard by piracy here. There was no royalty fee, so of course it starved to death.
Therefore, many authors may change careers, eunuchs, etc., because using love to generate electricity for a while, but they will definitely not last for a lifetime. Zhaoling feels that this promise of writing online articles when he is hungry is worthless except for selling miserable sympathy.
Zhao Ling is not sheltering some eunuchs. Eunuchs are shameful. They are harming readers who subscribe to your works, and also harming their own character. The result of the readers and authors losing both. In the eunuch team, Zhao Ling also has a place in it. Zhao Ling cannot avoid this. Readers just need to open your historical works and take a look.
This is indeed very sorry for readers who subscribe to Zhaoling's works, especially those who still spend money on Zhaoling's works, who feel both sorry for them. For example, "Snow Dance Ice Concubine" girl, who has supported "Technology Giant" all the way to now, is currently ranked first on the new book fan list, and is super touching
The reasons for the eunuchs in the book Qidian are all aspects. Some of the authors are irresponsible, while others are force majeure, such as force majeure such as 404.
To be honest, this book is Zhao Ling's "spare tire" for "Black Technology Big Crowd". The book "Big Crowd" is still being updated intermittently. The reason why Zhao Ling currently opens double is that as a middle- and low-level creator, the book "Big Crowd" will suddenly disappear at any time, and Zhao Ling has no source of income, and is getting closer and closer to the road to complete death in his career.
Readers who have followed the book Da Hunter should know that this book almost died completely in July this year. Now Zhao Ling is also trying his best to rescue and strive for updates. He is getting more slow, because he doesn't want to be sorry to readers who spend money to subscribe again and again.
No long-term thinking will lead to immediate worries. This is the case when the global monopoly of this new book came out. All of this is because Zhao Ling did not want to bid farewell to his writing career because of starving to death. Because of an accident that was so funny and incredible, he also fell in love with this industry.
There must be many authors who have changed their careers for such reasons, bid farewell to their writing careers, and left the name of eunuchs. Zhaoling is lucky enough to be these people so far. Although she has shed skin, she has at least not died yet. So I am very grateful to the readers who have supported her all the way. There is no polite saying here, otherwise she would have died long ago.
Zhaoling personally thinks that it is a pity and pain for some authors to "generate electricity with love" to eventually die of free sex. In the short term, this is just a creator's dream of breaking apart, no one will care, but in the short term, it is a harm to the entire online literature industry system and even all industries related to copyright operation. This does not care, that does not care, and that does not care... The emergence of big problems is often caused by the stacking of small problems. If small problems are solved, big problems often will not occur.
Although Zhao Ling is also very sad about the free-timer, she is powerless. The overall environment is like this, what about the little people? It’s just that Zhao Ling hopes that the free-timer is because of economic reasons and is unable to support the genuine version, so she is free-timer. This world needs mutual understanding to make it better.
Instead of pirating and freeing, he said arrogantly: "Looking at your works has brought you traffic and popularity, it is the greatest support for you and the greatest face. Don't be greedy."
This sentence is ten times more harmful to creators, especially middle and low-level creators, than piracy. Its power is no less than "heart-killing words". It is often the last straw that crushes them to persevere.
Just say this.
Finally, I quote the last sentence of "Player No. 1" "Thank you for playing my game."
Thank you for reading my book, and it is a great honor.
Chapter completed!
