Old Father Becomes' Top Brother on the List 'Brushes Out 500000 Pension Funds Expert: Platform Should Set Up Refund Mechanism for Elderly People Induced to Give Rewards
2024-10-22
Fate has brought us together in the live broadcast room. If we hadn't connected today, there might have been another heartbroken woman in this world. Recently, in a live broadcast room on a certain platform, a male anchor (referred to as his teacher by fans) who claimed to be able to solve family, marriage, and parent-child relationship problems was passionately guiding an audience member who was connected to complain. The audience was grateful for the teacher's guidance and immediately expressed their intention to sell their own jade at a low price to the teacher's fans as a reward. Under the call of the teacher, the audience in the live broadcast room rushed to buy this low-priced jade, and Wang Ting's mother from Jiangxi was one of them. Wang Ting told a reporter from the Rule of Law Daily that her mother seemed to be obsessed with following this teacher. In less than two years, "my mother has already exhausted her savings of over 100000 yuan, and what she has received is only a pile of defective products and scrap metal. Zhang Jian from Shanghai empathized with this. His father's money was swindled away for nothing, and he, who had spent most of his life savings, had never even seen "broken copper and iron". After retiring, Zhang Jian's father became obsessed with live streaming. Under the guidance of a female anchor, his father, who usually struggled with typing and chatting with others, completely mastered the method of live streaming tipping. Under the sweet words of the female anchor, the father willingly spent 500000 yuan of retirement money within a year. Faced with parents who spend a lot of money in the live broadcast room, Wang Ting and Zhang Jian have both embarked on the path of protecting their rights. However, it is not easy to protect the rights of elderly parents - although the platform has regulations prohibiting minors from recharging and procedures for recharging and refunding minors, there is a lack of relevant regulations for the elderly population. The more difficult problem for elderly family members is how to help them quit their addiction to live streaming and the internet, and get their lives back on track. The interviewed experts believe that elderly people are induced to give tips to broadcasters due to factors such as their willingness to pay for emotional support, the lowering of their psychological defenses caused by a lonely life, and the lack of prevention mechanisms similar to the "adolescent" model on short video platforms. To solve this problem, it is necessary not only for families and children to give the elderly the care they deserve, but also for short video platforms to strengthen supervision and set corresponding models for elderly people with weak judgment and cognitive decline, so that they can stay away from large live streaming rewards. The old man spent all his savings on online loans and gave him a reward for becoming the top ranked player on the list. "Teacher, you are a modern 'Bao Qingtian', and I cannot repay your kindness." This anchor, who makes Wang Ting's mother "unable to let go," starts broadcasting every morning at 5 o'clock. The live content mainly focuses on resolving disputes in family, marriage, and parent-child relationships. According to the clues provided by Wang Ting, the reporter recently entered the live broadcast room and saw a woman connecting with the anchor, crying and recounting her tragic experience. With the guidance of the anchor, the woman's problem was easily solved, and she was grateful to the teacher. In the comment section, many fans were praising her with words such as "Old Master loves without boundaries". The reporter clicked on the user homepage at the top of the fan list and found that most of them were elderly women. Then, in order to repay the kindness of the teacher, the woman who asked for help online immediately expressed her willingness to sell her Hotan Jade to the audience in the live broadcast room at a low price. With the anchor's "321, link up", the products in the live broadcast room were sold out. The reporter noticed that in consecutive days of live broadcasts, people engaged in businesses such as health products, learning machines, and skincare products connected to "repay kindness". Wang Ting's mother is 70 years old this year and is a loyal fan of this anchor. Wang Ting said that the elderly do not sleep well and open the live broadcast room early every morning to watch the live broadcast on time. Last year when I came home, I suddenly found that there were too many items that the elderly couldn't use, such as learning machines and reading pens. So I asked my mom not to buy things randomly anymore. But my family will still receive various express deliveries one after another Wang Ting realized something was wrong, so she persuaded her mother to return the goods, but was strongly opposed. She firmly believed that the teacher was a great person and kept telling me that the other person sold things to help others, which made me realize how deeply she had fallen into it. What shocked Wang Ting even more was that her mother, who had always been frugal and had to save one or two cents on groceries, spent 20000 yuan a month on shopping in the teacher's live broadcast room. The most she bought were various types of jade and stones. I specifically took her to appraise these jade and stones, and the results proved that these things were not worth so much Wang Ting kept telling her mother that live streaming connections were all tricks, but her mother firmly stated that 'the kind-hearted person in the live streaming room cannot deceive everyone'. In order to support this anchor, she has almost spent all her retirement money Wang Ting said helplessly. Zhang Jian from Shanghai thinks that Wang Ting's situation is not too bad, because his father's pension money has been completely 'wasted'. Since retirement, Zhang Jian's father, who is in his 60s, has been obsessed with watching live broadcasts. Zhang Jian noticed that his father spends most of his time watching live broadcasts from the same female anchor. He checked his father's platform reward records - in the first few months, he spent hundreds or thousands of yuan on gifts, but in the following month, he spent up to tens of thousands of yuan at most. Within a year, my father spent all of his 500000 yuan pension. My father used to be unfamiliar with such gift brushing operations. He told me that it was the anchor who taught him how to recharge and brush gifts. My father can be said to obey this anchor's words, "Zhang Jian said. Zhang Jian told reporters that there are many elderly people who are addicted to live streaming and rewarding anchors like this. In order to protect their rights, they have established a "victim family group". Not only did some elderly people in the group spend all their savings on online shopping and tipping, but they also borrowed online loans for it. Zhang Yan from Jiangsu is a member of the group. Her parents are divorced, and her 64 year old father retired and lives alone in his hometown. One time when she returned home, she heard from her neighbor that her father had become the "number one big brother" in a local female anchor's live broadcast room. My dad has already reached level 48 on this live streaming platform and is very famous in the village. "The reporter checked the platform's consumption level correspondence table and found that reaching level 48 requires spending 260000 yuan. My dad's retirement pension is only over 3000 yuan, and he doesn't have that much money to give tips. "Zhang Yan's family conditions are average. After realizing that her father had overpaid, she privately checked his phone and found out that he had borrowed loans from multiple online lending platforms, with the highest one borrowing 30000 yuan, but he has not yet paid it off. Live streaming provides emotional value to elderly people who are obsessed with it like they are "possessed". There are children who present evidence of the tricks in the live streaming room to the elderly, but why do they still choose not to believe it and willingly empty half of their life savings to give tips and shop online in the live streaming room? The anchor will play the emotional card, believing whatever the elderly say Zhang Jian said, "In the live broadcast room, my dad receives a response when he brushes gifts. The anchor teaches him step by step, and every time he brushes a gift, the anchor will 'talk to him about love' and dance a 'borderline dance' with him." "This anchor also connects with other anchors for 'PK'. My father doesn't understand these things, he thinks there will be punishment if he loses. In order to prevent his favorite anchor from being punished, he keeps brushing." Zhang Jian found that the anchor also maintains close contact with his father privately. I looked at their chat records and found that at the beginning of this year, my father had the idea of quitting the live broadcast room, but he was persuaded by this anchor Zhang Jian said that the anchor once told his father in a private chat that he was divorced and taking care of his daughter alone. He complained to his father and asked for his help. "Later, he took a step back and told my father to leave quickly after saying that his life was not easy. Don't be dragged down by her, don't worry about her. After several rounds of emotional attacks, Zhang Jian's father chose to continue his "stay" and gave the anchor more gifts. This anchor is very cautious. After repeated communication with my dad, he told me that the anchor taught him to delete chat and call records that were not conducive to her, and my dad followed suit one by one, like he was' possessed ', "Zhang Jian said. In Wang Ting's opinion, her mother's obsession with the anchor also seems to be "possessed". She watches live broadcasts more seriously than attending classes every day, holds her phone on time, cries and smiles, and her emotions are completely controlled by the host Wang Ting also noticed that her mother actively recommended this "positive energy anchor" to her friends around her, constantly telling everyone about the anchor's "good deeds". She already fully believes that buying things in the live broadcast room is a good thing that can both do good deeds and buy good things. Wang Ting told reporters that she once established a group called "Resist Online Scams" to protect her rights. She found that most of the deceived elderly people in the live broadcast room were trapped by the anchor using emotional cards. Some anchors claim to be psychology teachers, and even call themselves' hope mentors'. The tricks are similar. First, they claim to promote positive energy and help the connected people solve problems. After the problems are solved, the connected people express their willingness to sell products at a low price in the teacher's live broadcast room to thank the teacher, thereby inducing the elderly to rush to buy In communication with the families of the victims, Wang Ting found that these easily recognizable "tricks" in front of ordinary people have become touching stories that can trigger empathy in the eyes of the elderly. "They now worship this kind of anchor very much, and no matter how much their children try to persuade them, they won't listen." In the view of Liangzhou (pseudonym), the elderly are addicted to live streaming tipping and shopping, and cannot blame the anchor entirely. Liangzhou is a knowledge-based blogger on social media platforms who previously worked for an MCN (Multi Channel Network) organization. In her opinion, the most attractive aspect for elderly fans is the emotional value provided by the host, but this value often requires financial support. Liangzhou once registered an anonymous account to log in to a live chat room where elderly people collectively connected to microphones, and found that the chat content was actually very ordinary: "What kind of tea did you drink today?" "The road is easy to walk on, but not easy to walk on." "It's raining, don't go out, your shoes will get muddy." "Many elderly people definitely can't hear their children say these words at home," Liangzhou said, but they need such companionship, and many families ignore the psychological needs of the elderly. Once the account is banned and a new one is launched, seeking legal protection will face many difficulties. After realizing that her mother had spent all her savings to purchase a large number of defective products, Wang Ting is determined to protect her rights. However, the road to safeguarding her rights was not as smooth as she had imagined. "My mother spent a lot of money on buying Hotan Jade. After identification, she found that although she bought Hotan Jade, it was not as valuable as the anchor said. Moreover, the types of Hotan Jade are very complex, and some of them are expensive, but it is difficult to identify their value. " After the appraisal, Wang Ting helped her mother return a small part of Hotan Jade, but more large amounts of things can no longer be returned. I tried to report this live streaming room, but it didn't have much effect Wang Ting discovered that the anchor her mother admires has multiple accounts, and the number of accounts she broadcasts each time is not fixed. "Moreover, there is a 'secret code' between them, even if one anchor's account is banned and they will immediately start broadcasting on a new account, the elderly can always enter the live broadcast room through the secret code." Wang Ting told reporters that many family members in the victim's family group have also tried to report related live broadcast rooms, but usually "it doesn't make a splash. What made Wang Ting feel even more disheartened was that the more she worked hard to protect her rights, the deeper her mother's misunderstanding of her. Every time I mention it to her, she starts making a fuss. She doesn't believe anything I say, nor does she want to return it, let alone accept it
