Chapter 184 - Blocking and Suppressing Will Lead to Backlash (1/2)

…

Unlike the serene atmosphere in the manor, a storm was brewing on the internet…

First, there was a huge reversal in public opinion. Things like Xiang Yi was a player, this objectification of women had been thrown out the window by netizens. The marketing accounts and paid haters received so much backlash they were beginning to doubt their own lives.

Then, the sudden shutdown of the stream caused strong dissatisfaction among fans as complaints and hate surfacing everywhere on the internet.

——[What kind of technical error is this hard to fix? How come we still can’t see the stream after such a long time?]

——[Here’s a theory, I think the issue in the stream was not a technical failure at all, but the work of someone else’s evil! Everyone, let’s think back: on the first day “Two Under One Roof” aired, the stream bugged out several times, right? And it’s not a matter of what’s ‘too popular’. Next door, “Heartbeat” was also very popular, yet their connection was perfectly stable and problem free?]

——[Hehe. This is obviously the work of Muyao TV no matter how you see it. What kind of sly tricks have they NOT tried before? Making up negative comments, exposing dirt, fanning the flames, buying out navies; last time, they even plagiarized a small internet variety show and refused to admit it. Refusing to admit their faults, the director even posted on Weibo to ask for help from netizens, but he was instantly buried in complaints. Use your judgment, guys.]

——[F*ck! I was wondering why there were so many posts hating on Xiang Yi. I understand that the girl’s business abilities come up a bit short, but it’s not enough to earn the spite of everyone on the internet! It turns out someone was deliberately behind it!]

…

These remarks caused another uproar.

Some fans even approached Muyao TV’s official blog and left a message for them asking for an explanation.

The operations department contacted the PR department, and after a long discussion, their solution was to——

Delete the comments.

Ban the users.

Remove Weibo’s trending searches.

The PR department had long gotten used to such tactics. After all, netizen emotions come and go. How long can their support last? And how long can they really hate them for?

As long as they refuse to admit anything and refuse to respond, the netizens have no proof nor patience. What could they really do to the network?

However…

Something nobody expected had happened…
