The biggest magic in Sun Yuchen’s little essay isn’t the $50 million.
It’s the bunch of people in the comments who “manage his mindset.”
An eyebrow pencil set costing 79 yuan wants to drive the streamer off the platform,
while a bride price of 350 million yuan “isn’t anything.”
His own account balance is four digits, yet his valuation of someone else’s marriage promise is in the hundreds of millions.
Has Xiaohongshu’s sense of deserving inflated to this extent?
The core of this “bookkeeping” set from the Sweet Potato Girl is the “proportion method”:
The money you spend on me, as a proportion of your total assets—that’s what counts as sincerity.
Is that right?
By this logic, if Musk buys you a 30,000-yuan bag, it’s zero cost—so that means he doesn’t love you.
The proportion method only works when it’s used to calculate someone else’s wallet unilaterally.
When it’s your turn to split the bill, you can’t squeeze a cent out.
Double standards aren’t scary.
What’s scary is being so self-righteous about the double standards—and even turning them into a whole methodology.
Most ironic of all: the ones truly trapped by this “sense of deserving” are precisely the girls who believe they deserve it.
Quote a price based on fantasy, and the market responds with auctions that get no bids.
Value things based on daydreams, and you miss every real match.
This is the biggest situation in China right now: demanding prices are wildly misjudging reality.
The platform sells a “sense of deserving” as traffic.
And the influencers sell it as lessons.
In the end, the one who pays is the fool who still believes.
That high-upvoted comment on Xiaohongshu cursing “Sun Ge” for being stingy got 100,000 likes.
And everyone who liked it is fantasizing that they’ve got a diamond-studded—well, you know what.
