As of 6:30 pm on the 4th, Jiang Wanan's Facebook had received more than 492,000 messages.
The Kuomintang dug out an article on drug prevention and control written by Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang more than 10 years ago and quoted it out of context, accusing Shen of "condoning drug use" and "supporting drugs." Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan, who is seeking re-election, followed up with a Facebook post to criticize the drug, but it was overturned. In one day, nearly 500,000 comments flooded in. Many supporters of Blue and White claimed that these were cyber armies, but were slapped in the face by AI. AI bluntly said that no marketing or troll company dared to handle such a tsunami of message numbers!
Lanying recently uncovered Shen Boyang's drug prevention article published in "Think Forum" in 2014, distorting and discrediting Shen Boyang's claim that "drugs and medicines can be equated" and calling for generous distribution of drugs and needles to drug users in the community, sparking anger. However, Jiang Wanan also got on the bus. Yesterday (3rd) night, he posted a Facebook PO post alluding to Shen Boyang's support for drug decriminalization. Subsequently, a large number of netizens poured into the comment area to criticize Jiang Wanan and Lan Ying for being ignorant and evil, and confusing right and wrong for the sake of the election.
When I first saw that the post was trending, Jiang Wanan's editor tried his best to delete the comment and was caught. This further spread the anger of netizens, and they started to argue with Jiang Wanan's team and flooded them with negative comments. As of 6:30 pm on the 4th, it has accumulated 492,000 comments, breaking the Guinness World Record for the most comments in a single day.
Blue and White supporters disagreed with this. Those who criticized and left comments were all Green Camp Netizens, and also mocked the Green Camp for spending money to "fight an unwinnable war." This move was very stupid. They choked on November 28 and let the Blue Bird see the reality clearly. Someone specifically went to Meta AI to ask Meta AI about the market situation of the Internet army, and how much it would cost to wash out hundreds of thousands of comments. Meta AI bluntly said that this was not a market situation that the Internet army could wash out, but a "reverse rollover" of traffic. It is a typical "get-influenced" ratio on Facebook. The number of comments was more than 10 times more than the number of likes. Almost all real people came in to quarrel, not to buy.
Meta AI further said that if you want to buy hundreds of thousands of live account messages, even if each message is only NT$1.4 million to NT$10, the cost will be at least NT$1.4 million to NT$2.8 million. Moreover, the platform is now very strict in catching this kind of "fake interaction". A large number of copy and paste, overseas accounts will soon be downgraded and messages will be cut off, and the money will be thrown into the water. "So no marketing company dares to take this kind of number. This is because the topic itself has exploded. Save money and avoid being caught."
In addition, the number of likes on Jiang Wanan’s post was far lower than the number of people who were angry. Meta AI added that this is a more accurate indicator of popularity than hundreds of thousands of comments. “It is a typical ratio of people being sent out to fight and real people washing the pages to quarrel. It cannot be bought with money.”
