Ordinary people are social creatures, that’s right, you are a person and an upright-walking animal with strong social attributes; you have feelings of inferiority and vanity. Society is constantly changing and eroding your sense of calm. We don’t discuss those great individuals who willingly burn themselves for society or the nation.
Me now
Looking at average wages, or even considering salaries back home, my current income is already far above average – what more could I possibly be unsatisfied with?
When you earn ten thousand, you’ll think about earning a million; when you earn a million, you’ll think about earning ten million. This is human nature, and people must confront their own inner selves.
What’s that red-eyed thing, is it a more relaxed way of making money: short videos?
Everyone understands that entering this industry isn’t easy. What you see here is a short video, but what you don’t see is the scriptwriting and filming behind it. But everyone has a dream of being a genius, believing they are suited for that industry, that they are naturally gifted.

I’ve watched so many videos. If you analyze the shots a little bit with your own brain, it’s obvious they have professional editing techniques and a very strong cinematic feel. Basically, that means some of them are from film school backgrounds. Of course, there’s logic behind grassroots success stories, but that doesn’t apply to most people, right?
On Douyin, there are also many videos teaching you how to make videos. It’s then that people realize things – if it were truly profitable, why wouldn’t they do it themselves instead of teaching others?
Anti-human recommendation algorithm
Previously, when Douyin’s algorithm recommended movie clips and anime clips, I would keep watching them and find them quite interesting. But then, when I started looking into how to make money on Douyin, it began recommending all sorts of tutorial videos non-stop, filling my entire recommendation feed. And I’m in the IT industry myself. At this point, I couldn’t help but wonder if those guys who designed the algorithm had a problem with their heads – are you suggesting that I’m stupid or that they’re stupid? The key thing is, it keeps finding new ways to recommend videos on how to make money using Douyin, trying different angles and types. This article is being written by me at 3 AM, and I didn’t even want to write it. I just wonder how long this business model can last, and for how long can it consume everyone’s time?
Understand life
It’s laughable when you lecture others on how to do things, but can’t control yourself when it comes to your own actions. Not a pure technical blog writer, so I haven’t published some things domestically. Here, I just casually rant. If this gets shut down someday, I guess I’ll find another place. I can’t say Douyin hasn’t done anything; at least now, in terms of real-time news dissemination and promotion of national policies, they are actively cooperating. After all, in China, you can’t go against the Party, right?
Thinking back to when I was studying, it strikes me. When you truly can’t find the meaning of life, quietly reading a book is enough. In this era, how many people can still sit down and read quietly?
Afterword
I also want to thank the advancements in science and technology here. If you can see this line, you’ll notice that the entire draft is very conversational. And honestly, I just kept reading it until it was finished. I used to use Sogou Input Method, for about seven or eight years. But when it comes to voice input, I have to say that iFlytek is still the professional choice.
The article number for 2022 changed to 002. Why are there two extra zeros? Having a dream that the number of articles this year can exceed one hundred – that’s a dream for me. It can’t really be called articles, just some records. I examine myself three times a day; you’ll surely think of something, right?
