This fake-liquor drama is so damn annoying. It’s such a tiny nothingburger, but it just goes on and on. A bunch of KOLs getting rich off referral commissions—one big meetup today, someone’s birthday party tomorrow. Why? Because they don’t make money from trading, so they turn every little thing into a hot topic!
And are these people really friends? A real friend wouldn’t invite someone to a fake-liquor party and then drag them online, even if it was a friend who invited them. A real friend wouldn’t serve someone fake liquor. Put plainly, birds of a feather flock together. What was the last time they milked this kind of drama for traffic? That spat between Tianqing Yanchi, Zhu Yidan and his crowd, and the 教主 crowd, wasn’t it? They love dragging every little thing online to stir up a frenzy. Lose the fight, and they still get traffic—bad publicity is publicity. Win, and they get traffic plus the moral high ground.
But their actual trading skills? Yeah, right. These few this time—Tianqing, Dentist, Sanhe, K-Tu and the like—there isn’t a single one with any real trading skill.
Usually I can’t be bothered to talk about this stuff. If they can earn referral commissions, fine; if they want to fleece retail investors, whatever—that’s their skill. But it’s hard not to want to call them out when every time it’s either a public spat or them publicly trashing someone over some private nonsense.
