A few days ago, the news that an Internet writer died suddenly in a rental house aroused people's attention. Prior to this, several incidents of sudden death of Internet writers had been exposed. Hidden behind the sudden death incidents are the living conditions of millions of online writers: w88 online live casino articles day and night, staying home for months and months, intensively taxing their bodies and youth. Behind this is a widespread low or no income. People who choose this path are distributed in a cruel income pyramid: at the top are "great" writers with a huge readership, often with an annual salary of more than one million; at the middle level are writers who are still working hard, with mixed reviews for their works, and annual incomes ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands; at the bottom are another large number of people who work hard all year round, but receive no attention, almost no pay, and rely only on a meager hope to support themselves.

With the intervention of capital power and the development of the "online original-paid reading" profit model, the concept of early online writers has been layered. Writers such as Annie Baby and Murong Xuecun, who were among the earliest writers to explore their imagination and express their joy on the Internet, have been canonized and paper-based. The group that currently constitutes the main body of online w88 online live casino is called "Internet writers." Most of them are young people who want to change the status quo through online w88 online live casino. Their w88 online live casino is more directly linked to making a living, click-through rate, and attention, and they often update thousands to tens of thousands of words a day. The "manual" characteristics of literature contained in the word "code word" introduced by Wang Shuo have been fully demonstrated in this group.

Many people choose to become online writers, firstly because the threshold is low and it is easy to get started; secondly, because it provides young people with an imagination that transcends their current living situation - "talent is a passport". This industry not only has the hope of success, but also relies on relatively simple elements for success; thirdly, because its work style is relatively free and can be done on the side. However, online writers also face a complex market environment. Their novels are highly market-oriented, subject to the rules of the market, and pursue the reading tastes of specific readers. They are often over a million words in length. In terms of interest, they combine the success factors of predecessor writers such as Jin Yong, Gu Long, Qiong Yao, and Yi Shu, and add fashionable elements such as fantasy, time travel, animation, and online games, thus presenting a mixed youth subculture characteristics. Attracting readers, retaining readers, and even catering to readers have become the main axis of these mixed characteristics. As a new and trendy profession, behind the fashionable appearance of an online writer is a long-term personal struggle: once you step on the online w88 online live casino chariot, you must keep w88 online live casino new chapters, which is called "updates" in professional terms. Internet writers may face thousands of readers urging them to update their content. If they do not update their content in a day or two, they may be abandoned by the website and readers. Of course, it is already an honor to be eligible to be "reminded". Junior writers do not have any security or income, and may never earn anything, but in the name of freedom and hope, they have to persevere. Therefore, although many online writers do show great literary talents, in the end they are unable to avoid the common problems of rushed updates, serious water injection, and self-replication, which makes those who try to give them more recognition have to hesitate again and again.

Not long ago, a senior literary practitioner lamented in the media: "70After","80Post-"writers are a bit ashamed compared to their predecessors. They lack banner writers and representative works. One of the reasons may be that the "talent" of this era has undergone a huge shift."70After","80Post-"writers are based on the large-scale marketization process as the stage background, and they face heavier life pressures than their predecessors. Out of the need for survival, their literary talents are commodified, and they naturally go to places where they have more opportunities or can sell for higher prices, such as the Internet, TV, movies, advertising, animation, newspaper columns, best-selling books, etc. Many people's talents have been fragmented, motorized, and monetized, making it difficult to concentrate on purely spiritual undertakings.

As online writers, they can write millions of words a year and have their own paying readers online. Their literary talent is unquestionable, but this talent has been diluted or mediocre in the long and tiring battle and in catering to readers' tastes. For them, this choice may have a seriousness that no one else can discuss: they need to earn money to support their families and survive. This is w88 online live casino in the sense of making a living, and it is impossible for us to criticize it at the level of classic literature. It is a luxury for them to calm down and spend ten years sharpening their swords to forge a lifetime masterpiece. We can only hope to introduce more reasonable mechanisms to change the current situation of measuring and evaluating a writer based solely on click-through rate and attention, improve the ecology of online w88 online live casino, give potential writers more diverse evaluation criteria, a looser room for growth, and give more guidance and patience to online literature.

If Internet writers who code late at night were gathered together, the sound of typing would definitely resound through the sky. Before your talent has time to establish a record in real life, it may have been wiped out in the virtual space. The Internet has given people great freedom in w88 online live casino and publishing, and the business model of "paid reading" has put writers' physical strength and talent to the test. What online w88 online live casino can leave behind, what it deposits, and what it will lose in the process is worthy of our consideration.
