In 2016 and 2017, numerous short-video platforms thrived, such as QSBK, Baisidebujie, Weiboke, Neihan Duanzi, Meipai, among others—many of which have been forgotten now. Only TikTok and Kuaishou remain dominant. Let's take Baisidebujie as an example. To motivate content creators, they offered a 20 RMB reward for each video that went viral. I casually shared a few funny videos and didn't think much of it. A few days later, I opened the app and found messages indicating several of my videos had gone viral, with rewards directly withdrawn to my WeChat wallet.
I then started downloading popular and humorous videos from Kuaishou and Neihan Duanzi to upload onto Baisidebujie. It was somewhat cumbersome back then, lacking one-click watermark removal tools. When I came across entertaining content, I'd download it and store it for later use. This method proved quite profitable, raking in hundreds of RMB daily, with most videos going viral. However, there was a limit of 30 uploads per day. Occasionally, videos that didn’t go viral immediately would do so weeks later. Back then, a video with over 10,000 views was considered popular, unlike today’s standards of tens of thousands of likes.
After half a year, Baisidebujie reduced the reward from 20 RMB to 5 RMB, dampening my enthusiasm. Eventually, the app likely exhausted its investors’ funds and was taken down. |
