Lately, has your WeChat Moments been flooded with this content?
Within a few days of the event’s release, it was wildly shared, accumulating tens of millions of views across hundreds of universities nationwide.
They reposted this article on multiple public WeChat accounts across the country, sharing a single lottery link. This is what they’ve done: with a few hundred yuan, they fooled tens of thousands of college students nationwide!
A mysterious marketing account organization. This organization features names like “xx Intelligence Station,” “xx Planet,” or “xx Sphere Knows,” claiming to be operated by students of that particular school, exclusively a community for students of xx school.
**There are too many accounts to show here; only some are displayed**
But a simple search reveals that these so-called “student-operated” public accounts, dozens of them, are all actually managed by several companies in Shanghai! They use unified scripts, unified planning nationwide, and slightly modify an article so it can be reused dozens of times.
This company is Shanghai Gaodun Education Technology Co., Ltd.
Taking [Xiangda Planet] as an example, through shareholder screening, the ultimate controlling shareholder is Gaodun
What this company has done that treats college students like fools
“@xx university students, we advise you not to buy the iPhone 15 Pro, because we’re giving it away!”
Within just a few days of the event release, WeChat Moments across dozens of universities nationwide were swept by this trend, with hundreds of thousands of views, over 20,000 lottery participants, and tens of thousands sharing… college students seemed to be caught up in a “school-exclusive benefit” carnival, unaware that behind this spectacle was a capital feast ravenously harvesting young users like crops.
Behind this lively scene, it is actually a capitalistic feast of aggressively harvesting young users.
You might still be confused here — isn’t this a benefit lottery giving phones to our school? How did it turn into harvesting young users?
“This event is only open to XX current students.” Now if I told you that you thought you were entering a lottery with your schoolmates, but actually, you are participating in a lottery with hundreds of thousands from dozens of universities nationwide, would that change your perspective?
As everyone knows, college students have limited social experience and simple minds, easily becoming the “harvest crops” desired by some social companies.
In this capitalistic harvesting feast, dozens of universities share the same lottery link, tens of thousands of active shares competing for a so-called grand prize. An Apple phone, several meal reimbursements, spinning tens of thousands of people around — this operation has let the behind-the-scenes capitalists earn a fortune, leaving the uninformed outsiders amazed.
They loudly claim it’s only for their own school students to participate in the lottery.
But the lottery links for several schools are exactly the same; in fact, at least dozens of schools share one lottery link.
The results announcement was discovered by students↓↓
This time for the mooncakes, they upgraded to using their own mini-program for the lottery (convenient for presetting winners), with no visibility of participation count or lottery results
But from the lottery links replied by the company accounts of Xiangda Planet and Hushi QiuZhi,
as well as the same number of prizes in over a hundred other universities,
it’s clear that
they still use
a unified amount of mooncake prizes,
unified scripts,
unified QR codes,
unified lottery requirements,
to offer a so-called
“exclusive lottery”
to hundreds of thousands of people across hundreds of universities nationwide.
No need to act anymore
