Chapter 62 Weibo Trends
So he continued to scroll down and found that 70% of the videos displayed were of interest to him.
Even if he is not interested, it will not disgust him. During the whole process, there are no two-dimensional or other types of videos that he hates.
"There's something."
Chen Tong said this with his eyes lighting up.
I have to say that this new recommendation system is very effective and its overall performance is amazing.
At least there were no videos recommended that he disliked. From the homepage to the similar video recommendations below the video, all the recommendations were videos that he might be interested in.
However, his opinion alone was not enough, so he walked out of the editor-in-chief's office and prepared to ask other people what they thought.
"Editor-in-Chief."
As Chen Tong walked out of the office, he was greeted by many people. Then he walked up to the old employee Lao Mo.
"Lao Mo, take out your phone and download the B station software. I want to collect other people's opinions and see how Lin Feng's recommendation algorithm works."
"Uh? Okay."
Faced with the request of editor-in-chief Chen Tong, Lao Mo naturally could not refuse, so he honestly took out his Pingguo mobile phone and opened Bilibili.
It turns out that Lao Mo is also a user of Bilibili. It seems that there is no need to download it. Chen Tong nodded secretly, and then signaled Lao Mo to play slowly and see what is different about Bilibili compared to usual.
But one sample might not be enough, so he looked up at the dozens of employees in the office and said loudly:
"Everyone, if there is no urgency, please stop for a moment.
I am now going to test the new recommendation algorithm system launched by Bilibili. Please download Bilibili and experience the effect of their recommendation algorithm system. "
"Yes."
When the employees heard that they could watch videos on their mobile phones openly at work, they were very excited. Those who had Bilibili opened it directly, while those who didn’t have it downloaded it.
Soon, the sound of refreshing videos could be heard in the office.
The voices were quite small at first, but when the employees saw that the editor-in-chief Chen Tong did not take any action, they gradually became more aggressive.
During this time, Editor-in-Chief Chen Tong kept watching the reactions of dozens of employees, observing their expressions and movements, while in his mind he kept calculating how powerful the recommendation algorithm was.
"What's going on? What are you doing here if you're not working?"
There was a questioning voice coming from outside the office door, and the person who came in seemed very angry.
"Wang Gaoyuan."
When Chen Tong saw the person coming, he greeted him. The person was none other than Wang Gaoyuan.
"Editor-in-Chief Chen, what on earth is going on?"
When Wang Gaoyuan arrived at the room and saw the editor-in-chief Chen Tong was inside, he frowned deeply, and many scenes of workplace struggles flashed through his mind.
Speaking of which, there have been calls from the headquarters recently for him to take charge of all Weibo affairs and become the CEO of Weibo.
Seeing this scene at this time, is it possible that the editor-in-chief Chen Tong is deliberately trying to prove his influence and embarrass him?
Thinking of this, Wang Gaoyuan's face turned gloomy.
Wang Gaoyuan, who was nicknamed "Jia Zong" by netizens in his previous life, is the president and CEO of Weibo.
But at this time, he has not officially become the president and CEO. There has only been talk from the headquarters. However, if nothing unexpected happens, he should officially take office after the Chinese New Year in February this year.
As for his achievements?
He is capable, and within a few months of becoming CEO, he successfully made Weibo profitable on a large scale, which was widely praised and recognized by shareholders and the New Wolf headquarters. Unfortunately, he does not have much tolerance for others.
Only eight months after he took the position of president and CEO, he squeezed out Chen Tong, who had the most experience, the greatest influence and the most potential threat to his position, and forced him to resign from Weibo and was even unable to return to the New Wolf headquarters.
It can be seen that there has always been a contradiction between the two sides, and this contradiction is becoming increasingly serious as time goes by.
Weibo no longer has Chen Tong, the veteran who is equivalent to the "King of Qin's King Scissors", to take charge of the situation.
In the past few years, he was able to gain some success by winning over mid-V and small-V influencers, but he was unable to balance the atmosphere of public opinion on Weibo and control the overall situation.
As a result, fan circle culture is prevalent, and fans in fan circles will only mindlessly spray or insult the people on the other side. The public opinion atmosphere in the circle is very bad, and the monthly active users are gradually decreasing.
Later, in order to pursue monthly active users and keep the data looking good, they eventually acknowledged the existence of fake accounts, allowing a large number of robots to flood Weibo.
Moreover, each robot not only likes, but also comments. It looks very lively, but in fact, it takes only a few seconds to tell that they are all robots.
In addition, there are ads everywhere in the software. Because the 'X' closing window is too small, you may accidentally click on 'Follow' or 'Ad'...
Due to so many unsatisfactory problems, Weibo is becoming less and less popular, and people are using it less and less.
Although Weibo has always claimed that it has hundreds of millions of monthly active users, with the highest number even reaching 6 million, fake is fake after all. The central bank even criticized Weibo for falsifying data.
"I am testing the recommendation algorithm designed and developed by Raymond Lam. It seems to be working well so far. Everyone can find the videos they like at Bilibili."
Chen Tong slowly explained why he did this.
Hearing this, Wang Gaoyuan shook his head and smiled:
"That Raymond Lam is a joke, a vain person who likes to spend money to buy traffic and brag about how great he is.
He developed a coin-type electromagnetic rifle and then spent money to brag himself into being the "No. 1 genius in Daxia". Does he really think that there is no one like him in Daxia?
What recommendation algorithm? I think it’s just spending money to buy other people’s things and then claiming them as your own.
And as far as I know, it has been less than a month since he announced the launch of the project to develop the recommendation algorithm. It took him such a short time to complete a brand new recommendation algorithm system. Is he taking us for fools?
Ha, what is the 'first genius of Daxia'? He is just a ridiculous and vain person. "
After saying that, Wang Gaoyuan looked at the editor-in-chief Chen Tong.
"Editor-in-Chief Chen, no matter what, how can you allow employees to openly play with their phones in the office?"
“Mr. Wang, I think the recommendation algorithm developed by Lin Feng is very powerful. At least as far as I know, everyone in our office can find the videos they like to watch.
I think this recommendation algorithm is very powerful. If it can be applied to our Weibo in the future, it will be able to solve many problems Weibo is facing. It may even determine whether Weibo can successfully rise again.”
Facing Wang Gaoyuan's barrage of accusations, Chen Tong simply explained the reasons why he did so.
"It's ridiculous. I think you are desperate and are just talking nonsense."
After saying that, Wang Gaoyuan turned around and left without even looking at Chen Tong's ugly face.
Regardless of whether the recommendation algorithm is really powerful or not, he will never agree to this in the short term.
Because now is the critical moment for the groom's headquarters to select the president and CEO of Weibo. If Chen Tong makes another contribution, it will affect his position as CEO.
Thanks to 'book friend 20190424131014761' for the reward of 500 Qidian coins. This is the second reward for this book. I am sincerely grateful. Now the book has 2 words and I have to control the word count to get recommendations. I will update more when the book is put on the shelves.
Also looking for recommendation votes and monthly votes.
