Strange phenomenon! Middle-aged and elderly people are addicted to mobile phone activities, and only a few yuan for eight hours a day
The scene of the Chinese New Year in the countryside.
When I go home for the Chinese New Year, the mobile ** of the old people in the village is also particularly eye-catching. They play with all kinds of apps, play and listen, but they don't listen. They are so focused on their own ** as if there is something to do, oblivious to what is happening on the screen. When asked what they were doing, they were excited to say that they had made a lot of money and would ask to join. Such a situation, which is very common in the village, is also very strange.
The old man stared intently at his phone, his fingers tapping lightly on the screen, as if communicating. They seem to regard the money on the screen as a valuable asset, and they have been accumulating and chasing it. The money is a ** event held by major apps in order to promote their products. By clicking, browsing, **, etc., the elderly can earn a certain amount of money, and when they have saved enough money, they can get a small amount of handling fees. Those seemingly inconspicuous money set off a wave of movement in the village.
The elderly, on the other hand, regard playing mobile as a new "game" in which money can be obtained through repeated clicks. Among them, there are all kinds of software available, and it is dazzling to see. Various types of apps have their own unique features that make it easy for seniors to join them. However, such a "game" is not just a simple pastime, but also a large amount of income. Although each platform can earn a commission of dozens of yuan, these incomes are enough to make them feel satisfied.
There are many similar apps, and each platform has its own unique gameplay to increase player stickiness. Small platforms attract customers with higher commissions, and large platforms attract customers in a fixed way. Regardless of the size, the essence is to acquire more users. In this competition, middle-aged and elderly users have also become one of them, and they get a small amount of money by clicking on it, as if they are playing an invisible "game".
In this online platform, it is not always easy to charge a processing fee. In general, there is a cap in the game where players must reach a certain amount before they can withdraw. In other words, if you want to get a monetary reward, you have to do the task consistently for a long time. Some netizens disagreed, saying that looking at their phones not only harms their eyesight, but also consumes their family's time, with little effect. However, there are also those who agree, who feel that the sport is not only fun, but also a way to play and pass the time.
Perhaps, this is a means of encouraging people to actively participate in the game and increase the number of times they use mobile**. Players need to do more to earn rewards, and the mechanic is like a shackle that keeps them going day by day. Under such a system, many elderly people will spend their time and energy on money to obtain a sense of satisfaction.
And the reason why the elderly participate in such games, in addition to making a little money, also has a kind of pursuit of life. They search for places of interest on the screen of their mobile devices and fill their retirement with mobile**. Perhaps, behind the money, there is a hidden spiritual need, a recognition of real life. The reason why they are willing to spend time and energy on these ** assignments may be due to the fact that it has become a daily habit, a new life experience.
Recall that in rural areas, the enthusiasm of the elderly for mobility** may be due to the change of time, or it may be a new way of life. Perhaps, moving** can provide them with a new kind of psychic feeling. Perhaps, behind this phenomenon, there are more thoughts on family, affection, and socialization. In the future, how the elderly will deal with their lives, family members and mobile phone interactions may be a very meaningful thing.
