As I age, I find that many once popular websites have begun to decline, have cooled down, and have lost their popularity. I don't know if it's my unilateral illusion or it has become an established fact.
When I first graduated, my office supervisor was particularly fond of Tianya. At that time, I only browsed it occasionally and read several very inspiring posts, all of which were about my insights on how to work hard in the workplace. I carefully copied a lot of aphorisms from the posts to encourage myself. There are a few posts that left a deep impression on me. One of them is a post about how to chase a Cancer girl. It has been updated for a long time, from the beginning of the love triangle to the ending of chasing the girl. It was really a protracted battle, and it was thrilling to watch. Second, a girl wrote about how she learned Spanish and went to Spain because she liked Real Madrid player Raul. It's like watching a real idol drama, exciting. It turns out that liking an idol can be such a powerful motivation. It's a pity that I seem to be a little bit behind. I also carefully read a post introducing the basics of horoscopes. During that time, Kaixin.com was also popular all over the country, and then suddenly lost its popularity.
I think I registered Douban in 2007. At that time, I thought the name of the website was so cute. In the summer, I would always peel some broad beans at home and fry them into douban cakes as an after-dinner snack. So I really like this name. The style is also green and fresh, with many hot topic groups, a completely personalized little world, creating photo albums, writing diaries, online activities, groups, and even exchanged postcards at the event, and received one designed by a girl from the Academy of Fine Arts. I still have the cute cat postcards in my collection. At that time, the astrology group I went to the most was where every post was so popular, and I even argued eloquently for several pages because of a certain argument. That kind of limelight is no longer possible. Now I still have a Douban account, but I use it more as a photo album to share my travel photos. This function is very easy to use, but the groups that were once popular are no longer the same, and there are many posts on the home page that no one has responded to, which makes me feel lonely.
Later, Weibo also became popular one day, because we could see the daily lives of many big shots, and it seemed that we were suddenly closer to the celebrities. Many brands have also opened V accounts to release new products and gain popularity. Suddenly, it seems to have become a marketing world, less entertainment and more commercial. In order to seek attention, I have raised a lot of trolls and zombie fans...and then I no longer believe in the authenticity of those brands, they are too fake. Now I still use Weibo, which is purely a star-chasing account. I check the fan circle updates. My stuff will only be updated after setting up the circle of friends.
I learned about Zhihu because of a smart kid who died young at the age of 20. The high-quality questions he answered were astounding. Slowly, this platform became more and more popular, and it turned out that many hidden experts were here to help answer questions. But the title is always like a clone. What is the experience of XXXXX? After watching it for a long time, I feel annoyed and irritated, without any new ideas.
Tieba was also popular at one time. There was one called Passing by, and the bar was full of Korean fans. At that time, I also followed the trend for a while. Occasionally, there would be a few masters, and the information they gave was really solid. accurate. There are also a few high-quality buildings, but now they have been reduced to ashes and turned into superficial posts purely based on appearance. Thinking about it, I feel really upset.
And now it seems that I have no enthusiasm anymore, so I come to play in some communities and forums. People who are probably my age have already started a life of daily necessities, and have no time to care. I hope you can hold on to those platforms that have been popular or are currently popular, instead of being twisted into a stronghold of mutual hostility.
