a way of saying

Released prisoners sell a lot of blog traffic, can this also become a "new track"?

  According to reports, if you search for "released after serving your sentence" on some short video platforms, you will see many bloggers who say they have been released after serving their sentence, using short videos or live broadcasts to share and create.

Some people in the industry concluded that a new traffic track has quietly emerged-the ex-prisoners who operate personal accounts have jointly stepped on a new track of "the prodigal son turns back and inspires Internet celebrities".

  As the saying goes: "A prodigal son turns his back on gold." Serving a sentence is a stain on life. If you can learn a lesson after serving your sentence and dare to face up to your mistakes, it is certainly worthy of recognition and respect.

If ex-prisoners lack professional skills and find it difficult to find a job, trying "fashionable jobs" such as live broadcasting in the Internet age is also a choice to integrate into society.

However, if serving a sentence is the "highlight" of blogging traffic, such a "traffic password" is not to be disagreed with.

  First of all, actively exposing "released after serving his sentence" is suspected of selling miserably.

It is certainly a positive attitude towards life not to avoid the stains of life, but serving a sentence is not worth "showing off" in itself.

  Secondly, the network anchor is a profession with certain special and public characteristics. The words and deeds of the anchor will invisibly convey a certain value concept to the outside world and have a certain influence on the society.

If "flagging" that release after serving a sentence can attract attention, it will always make people feel strange, unreliable, and even terribly frightening to think about.

  In fact, such "inspirational Internet celebrities" often cannot stand scrutiny.

Recently, a certain platform account "Brother Tianlang" was discovered by netizens and exposed his crime of forced prostitution.

An anchor who has an account on another platform, "Did the boy looking for relatives cry tonight", recounted his tragic experience of seeking relatives, saying that he had gone astray due to the ups and downs of fate, and then entered a "social university" (that is, a prison), and gained many praises from netizens. Sympathy, after he started live streaming, he was exposed for his crime of rape.

These two anchors sold miserably as prisoners, and both caused public outrage. Netizens expressed "extreme anger" and "intolerable".

  Third, it is not only contrary to public order and good customs, but also suspected of violating relevant laws and regulations, for people released after serving their sentences to turn into "prodigal sons turning back inspirational internet celebrities".

Although there are currently no clear restrictions on the practice of network anchors, they belong to the "live-streaming salesperson" job type under Internet marketers.

  In April 2022, the Network Audio-Visual Program Management Department of the State Administration of Radio and Television and the Publishing Bureau of the Central Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Online Audio-Visual Program Platform Game Live Broadcasting", requiring that illegal and unethical personnel are strictly prohibited from using the live broadcast to speak out. We must strictly control the selection of anchors and guests, insist on moral character, artistic level, social evaluation, etc. as the selection criteria, and resolutely reject those who violate laws and regulations and violate public order and good customs.

  All in all, although there are no clear legal regulations for live broadcasting, it should pay attention to the basic value orientation. If the release after serving the sentence is used as a traffic outlet to attract everyone, there must be problems.

Of course, for anchors who have been released from prison, it is not appropriate to beat them all to death.

On the one hand, relevant platforms should strengthen audits, and strictly prohibit hype and consumption behaviors that use criminal facts, etc., delete those that should be deleted, and cancel those that should be canceled; The ex-prisoners who were broadcast live should also be supported and encouraged.

  There are many strange things in the live webcast, and it is a typical example that ex-prisoners have become "prodigal sons turn back inspirational Internet celebrities" and become "new tracks".

The various chaos in the live broadcast room, although the specific details and performances are not the same, but they all reflect a tendency to "hunt for novelty", it seems that as long as there are "characteristics", regardless of the pros and cons, they can effectively attract traffic.

The live broadcast should show the public the "truth, goodness and beauty" as much as possible, but sometimes it becomes a stage for "dancing demons", and "fake, evil and ugly" things are even popular, repeatedly shattering the three views.

  How to make the live broadcast no longer become a carnival of "ugliness" for the sake of traffic alienation, and jointly maintain a civilized and clear network environment is worthy of our vigilance and deep thinking.
