Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 105 [Google's Arbitrariness]

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

And these are all in the expectations of Luo Sheng and BluestarVideo's actual operation and management team. They are not afraid of their wool, but they are afraid that they will not upload videos. The internal system will distinguish duplicate videos.

Naturally, video sites are quickly flooded with a large number of low-quality, homogeneous videos.

However, there is a way to solve this. The operation team has developed a relevant push algorithm, which is mainly filtered by the logic of the last elimination, and filtered a large number of low-quality videos to ensure that the homepage of the website must be the best quality video.

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

This is a big killer, a real big move.

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

So far, Luo Sheng does not plan to release this big move. One is that the development is difficult and the time period is long. Of course, for Luo Sheng, there is not much difficulty, but his time is precious.

The company's scale is getting bigger and bigger, and it is more to be handed over to the main engineer to be responsible for development, and to guide itself.

If every project requires him to lead, what else do so many engineers do?I have to be exhausted.

With the launch of the BV video website in the third month, once the 150 million reward program is launched, a large number of original videos have also surged virally.

Unknowingly, three weeks have passed, and three weeks have been rotated. In these three weeks, the new videos locked in the top 200 list have all received income. The minimum is $145 and the maximum is $30000. The weekly settlement is completed. Imported the account designated by each UP master.

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

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

On November 3, the data jumped to 15 million;

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

On November 21, the third month of the BV video launch, it recorded 71.5 million horror views.

BV video sites 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 surpassed the BlueSpace social networking site. Everyone was talking about the video above, on BS social networking sites, 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 watched by people every day. 35% of the videos watched online in North America came from BV websites, and the data was still growing wildly.

According to this trend, the proportion 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, and the website will rank 20th.

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

Bluestar Technology has three websites squeezed into the top 25 list, among which BlueSpace website ranks 12th, Reddit website ranks 19th, and BluestarVideo online video website, which has just entered the list, ranks 20th.

The US$150 million made the BV website a phenomenal explosion in just three months after its launch. It shocked the industry, and it felt like... it was completely popular overnight.

I won’t give you any chance to react. It’s really like waking up and suddenly getting angry. 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 points for the great success of BV websites. One is the leading streaming media technology in the industry; the other is a gorgeous marketing and other Third, Google's arbitrary decision made them miss the explosive point of online video.

Because during this time in November, Google did a stupid thing.

In Google's view, the video clips on the BV website are of poor quality and as worthless as dross, so they are excluded from Google searches.

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

Basically, Google has a clear sign to enter the field of online video, and on the next day announced the product manager, a middle-aged man named John Pisitello.

John posted a message on his blog that day:

[How to go to Wisconsin and seek some local travel information?I was in the hotel room, turning on the TV, turning on the channels, and watching some travel programs leisurely. At this moment, I suddenly had the idea that someone must have produced a short travel video about Wisconsin somewhere... Obviously, This short film is nowhere to be found.]

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

According to John, this software allows users to search for recent TV programs. In other words, Google sees video as an auxiliary tool for the information mission of the digital world.

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

Because Luo Sheng feels that if Google plays like this, he has won, and there is no suspense.

Obviously, Google treats video as just another data source for search and mining.

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

John Pisitello succeeded in pitting Google to death, and he missed the trend of online video perfectly.

The international version of the BV video website has become popular. At the same time, the domestic version of Bluestar Video, which was launched simultaneously, has not stopped developing during the past three months.

However, Bluestar Video does not have a reward plan.

Different national conditions and different environments require changes in methods.

Luo Sheng is very convinced that if he chooses to do this in China, he will definitely be suspicious of 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 by themselves, but the amount is really small. Knowing that many people can't afford the equipment, how to shoot videos?

But this does not mean that there is no content. On the Bluestar video website, users can see various American dramas, 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 sued Bankruptcy is impossible.

However, it is not clear that Bluestar Video has a super classic rogue-style 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 statements, they just pirate directly.

Luo Sheng also let Bluestar Video make a disclaimer.

In this regard, the copyright owners, especially foreign copyright owners, have nothing to do with them. If you want to file a lawsuit in China, in this era, those foreign copyright owners, whether it is video, music, or stand-alone games. , Or something else, even a lawyer doesn't want to write to you.

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 a company like Bluestar Technology, it is really painless.

This time, several major Hollywood studios are looking forward to it, really waiting for Luo Sheng to find them to buy copyright, just like he went to talk to the five major recording giants about copyright cooperation, and came to give them money.

Several major Hollywood movie giants know that Luo Sheng has recently raised a huge sum of US$1.275 billion.

As a result, after waiting for a full three months, Bluestar Technology did not necessarily send even a person in charge to negotiate with the film company, let alone Luo Sheng.

This makes the heads of several major film companies a bit dumbfounded.

Why is it different from what was expected?

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

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

But for low- and middle-level authors, especially those with full-time status like Zhaoling who expect to live the worst of manuscript fees, not subscribing is a dead end, and the little popularity brought by pirated editions cannot bring any economic benefits at all. The works of low-level creators have the opportunity to expand their popularity but have not yet 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 that you have died before the reputation 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 adaptations, and there is no inherent advantage, such as Zhaoling. There is absolutely no chance of adaptation of this kind of scientific and technological article written, not to mention it is absolutely impossible for 99.99%.

There is no possibility of copyright operation over there. It was hit hard by piracy and there was no contribution fee. Of course, I was starved to death.

So many authors have changed careers, or eunuchs, etc., because power generation with love lasts for a while, but it can never last a lifetime. The promise of writing online articles hungry, Zhaoling feels that there is no other value besides selling miserable sympathy.

Zhaoling is not shielding some works of eunuchs. The eunuchs are shameful. They hurt the readers who subscribe to your works and hurt their own character. The result of both readers and authors loses.In the team of eunuchs, Zhaoling also has a place in it. Zhaoling doesn't evade or can't evade it. Readers just need to look through your historical works to find out.

This is indeed very sorry for readers who subscribe to Zhaoling’s works, especially those readers who still spend money on Zhaoling’s works all the way to the present, feel and feel very sorry for them, such as "Xuewu Bingfei" sister paper, From the eunuch's "Technology Giant" all the way to the present, he is currently at the top of the new book fan list, super moved~~

For the book at the starting point, the reasons for eunuchs are all aspects. Some of the authors are irresponsible, and some are force majeure, such as force majeure factors such as 44.

To be honest, this book is Zhaoling’s "spare tire" for "Black Technology Predators". The predators is still being updated intermittently. The reason for Zhaoling's current double opening is that as a middle and low-level creator, he is facing anytime. The book of Big Crocodile will suddenly disappear, and Zhaoling will have no source of income. He is getting closer and closer to the road to complete violent death in his career.

Readers who have read the book "The Big Crocodile" should know that this book almost died in July of this year. Now Zhaoling is also doing his best to rescue and strive for updates. It is slower and faster, because I don't want to be sorry again and again. Readers who paid to subscribe.

People without foresight must have immediate worries. This new book of global monopoly came out under such circumstances. All this is because Zhaoling did not want to say goodbye to his writing career because of starvation, and because of a very dumbfounding accident he embarked on this line. , But also fell in love with this line.

There must be many authors who have changed jobs for this reason, bid farewell to their writing career, and leave the name of eunuch. 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 courtesy here, otherwise they would have died long ago.

And Zhaoling personally feels that it is a pity and sadness for some authors to "use love to generate electricity" and eventually die by prostitutes. When I get smaller, this is just a broken dream of the creator, no one cares, and it grows bigger. It is said that it is harmful to the entire web-text industry system and even all industries related to copyright operations. This does not care, it 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 it does not appear.

Zhao Ling, who is also very distressed for white prostitutes, but can't do anything about it. In such a big environment, what about a small person?It’s just that Zhaoling hopes from the bottom that the white prostitutes are vain prostitution because they are unable to support the original version due to economic reasons, so they vain prostitution. The world needs mutual understanding to make it better.

Rather than pirating the white prostitution while arrogantly saying: "Watching your work has brought you traffic and popularity. It is already the greatest support and the greatest face for you. Don't be greedy."

This sentence hurts creators, especially middle and low-level creators, ten times and one hundred times more than piracy. Its power is no less than the "word of death", and it is often the last straw that crushes their persistence.

Just say this.

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

Thank you for reading my book. It is a great honor.
