Those senior workers started to show off their maneuvers.
User doesn't click on the ad redirect?
No problem, now as long as the user opens the software, the first page is an advertisement.
Moreover, it's a shaking ad. As long as you slightly move your phone, it will jump to the ad page, increasing the jump data.
But that's not all, after all, how can one jump be enough?
While users are viewing content, a pop-up ad suddenly appears out of nowhere. Any normal person would instinctively click on it.
Alright, another jump.
This is still a conscientious act.
The unscrupulous ones would make an X on the pop-up page that looks like it closes the ad, but in reality, it's just part of the ad graphic, and the real button to close the ad is placed elsewhere.
If the user clicks wrong once, voilà, another ad jump, adding more data to the software.
Is such an operation disgusting?
Disgusting.
Would users like it?
No, they wouldn't.
But whether users like it or not has nothing to do with these software company workers.
As long as users jump on the ads, they can earn more advertisement fees.
The company's performance goes up, the relevant person in charge's performance looks better, the job is secured, and the salary increases.
But someone became puzzled.
Such advertisements are meaningless to the advertising company!
Because users frequently misclick into ads, it obviously makes them hate the ad, even hate the company that published the ad.
Doesn't this violate the original purpose of advertising?
After all, the purpose of ads is to make users understand and like your product, not to hate it.
But this is irrelevant to the advertisers!
Because most advertisers are various media companies, they just need to present pretty data to the commissioning party.
Due to our efforts, your ad has been clicked multiple times by users.
As for how it was clicked, don't ask.
Even if the advertiser is not a secondary commission but directly hires the software company to place the ad.
The employees responsible for the advertising department don't need to care about whether the ad is liked by the users.
The data they provide the boss shows that with their efforts, our product has been recognized by countless users, and many users have clicked in to have a look at our ads.
What? Boss, you ask why the ad effect is so good, yet the product sells so poorly?
That must be the product R&D team not doing well!
Boss, just look at the data, look at the performance.
Our advertising department is the MVP, the product development department's data is so bad, boss, you should consider switching the R&D team.
So, in Chen Yiyang's view.
Do the current software pop-up ads, splash ads, shake ads have any necessity to exist?
Absolutely not!
With money like this, you might as well give it to some video bloggers for them to advertise for you.
The video blogger's fans would even say "Thank you Daddy Gold Sponsor" as a sign of gratitude.
Although they may not necessarily buy your product, at least they wouldn't hate you.
After all, they know it's because of advertisers' investment that video bloggers can continuously work on their videos.
But under the influence of performance, countless software company employees have been trapped.
Only by constantly nauseating users can advertising data be improved, and job positions be secured.
And those incompetent company bosses have no realization of the harm this approach brings.
After all, the reason they became bosses is because they once stood at the right place at the right time, now they can only rely on the performance system set by senior workers to judge whether the employees are working hard.
Therefore, splash ads and pop-up ads can be considered the biggest scam product of the century.
Everyone knows the data is useless, yet everyone counts on this data to earn money.
After all, in this chain of interest, only the users are sickened, while everyone else profits.
And just at this time.
A software was born.
A developer couldn't stand seeing users being disgusted anymore, so he developed a software named Li Tiaotiao.
This software doesn't connect to the internet, doesn't profit, doesn't request any mobile permissions, and is completely pure and free.
Its sole function is to automatically identify splash ads or pop-up ads and help users click the close button on the ad page, closing the ad for you.
Since it's automatic closing, it's very fast.
Even with the keenest eyes, users would only see a shadow as the ad closes instantly.
After learning about the Li Tiaotiao software.
Chen Yiyang sighed that in this era, there are still pure developers who care for everyone.
After Li Tiaotiao appeared, various software companies hated it to the core, but they couldn't do anything about it.
Because this software doesn't connect to the internet.
Not connecting to the internet means it won't acquire any user data and won't have any profit behavior.
Moreover, the software itself is pure and non-toxic.
Normally no company could go against this software. Because the software is purely for users' service, and it's individual software, not depending on the software's fame to start other businesses.
However, the real world will always have a demon king to tell those good people, "If you dare to do good deeds, I'll take you down."
Thus, Tengxu made a move.
Sent a lawyer's letter directly to the developer of Li Tiaotiao, accusing them of unfair competition and demanding the developer to stop operating the App within 48 hours of receiving the letter and to remove it from any app publishing platform.
To be honest, Chen Yiyang couldn't understand how this lawyer's letter was sent out.
Unfair competition?
Li Tiaotiao is neither an advertiser nor a content-providing software company, nor does it profit.
How does it constitute unfair competition?
If it were sent by another company, perhaps the lawyer's letter could be ignored.
But Pizza Hut wouldn't be joking with you.
Moreover, the developer of Li Tiaotiao developed this software just to serve the public, but he himself needs to work at his job.
If he really confronted the other party in court, he feared that his job would be lost right on the spot, and he'd starve the next day.
Thus, the software was forced to be taken down.
However, it seems the developer of Li Tiaotiao might have heard of Chen Yiyang's reputation.
So he tentatively sent Chen Yiyang an email, inquiring whether Chen Yiyang is willing to invest in his software and stand as a backer.
"Of course, this must be done." Chen Yiyang didn't think too much before deciding.
Investing in Li Tiaotiao is partly because Chen Yiyang is young and still has passion.
On the other hand, his established image on the internet is as a capitalist who stands with the people.
It's also because of this that, when he invests in others or other companies, sometimes even if the conditions are slightly worse than other investors, they are willing to let him invest.
This is the benefit brought by reputation.
Moreover, those who like Chen Yiyang now are all young people.
As long as Chen Yiyang can maintain this persona, when these young people become the main force of society.
Chen Yiyang might become a spiritual guide for all tech entrepreneurs.
This is an unquantifiable intangible wealth.
Both for public and private reasons, Chen Yiyang feels he should be a backer for the developer.
Chen Yiyang's assistants, hearing Chen Yiyang's decision, didn't say much but started replying to Li Tiaotiao's developer.
They know that this boss, Chen Yiyang, has his current wealth because he always makes the right choices.
So, even though Chen Yiyang strictly follows labor laws, likes to pay high wages and grant vacations to employees.
The company still develops faster than other companies.
Because Chen Yiyang doesn't look at performance but can identify the employees most crucial to the company.
With this positive feedback, all the employees know not to mess around, just work seriously.
The company's internal self-dissipation cost is very low.
On the surface, due to various benefits, Chen Yiyang's company operates at a cost one or two tenths higher than others.
But actually, because the internal dissipation is small, the company's efficiency is three or four tenths higher than others.
Soon, the developer on the Li Tiaotiao side received a reply from Chen Yiyang's company.
Then he proposed a small request, whether he could talk to Chen Yiyang on the phone before accepting investment.
