Chapter 126 The Fragile Streamer
Celebrities were already so vulnerable in front of their patrons, as fragile as bubbles in front of capital, and mere playthings in front of those who held power.
This was why no one doubted when Skyview, under the alias Boring Surf, said he wanted to invite a big star. Everyone knew that celebrities had no resistance in front of the wealthy.
This was an era where power was supreme and capital was king!
Lily didn't think there was anything wrong with Skyview looking down on celebrities. In fact, she felt that someone of Skyview's status should look down on celebrities. Although society claimed that everyone was equal, in reality, there were always distinctions. A capitalist like Skyview, second only to the White Family, was not just a name without substance.
This was just Golden Valley. If it were Evalia, where capitalists were the ruling class, it wouldn't be surprising if Skyview wanted to be president.
"Although celebrities are not respectable, they cling directly to powerful capital and serve as tools for capital to make money. Ordinary scandals can't bring down celebrities. Skyview said, "But haven't you noticed that those streamers not only lack strong PR teams to protect themselves but also don't realize they are public figures? They don't handle their past inappropriate remarks in time and don't pay attention to their current behavior! These are all weakness!"
Skyview said this with a cold smile.
Lily's eyes lit up and she said, "You mean to start with the streamers' behavior?"
Skyview nodded and said, "Exactly. Do you remember Felix Montgomery?"
Lily said, "The magician Felix?"
"Yes," Skyview said, "In Felix's most famous years, he quickly attracted attention due to some wrong behavior, causing his reputation to plummet."
"Although later investigations proved that Felix's behavior at the time was not problematic, he was still affected and is still influenced by this incident today."
"Just a ridiculous rumor could bring down a top magician like Felix. If it were a true negative news, wouldn't it immediately cause a streamer to lose popularity?"
After hearing Skyview's example of Felix, Lily immediately understood what Skyview wanted to do.
However, Lily didn't think Skyview was despicable; instead, she thought Skyview was quick-witted and very smart.
Moreover, Skyview was planning to punish the streamers, which couldn't be considered evil but rather a way to rid the public of harm. A public figure who didn't pay attention to their behavior and said inappropriate things at inappropriate times deserved to be punished.
"Felix was brought down by rumors, let alone fragile streamers!" Lily sighed. "Mr. Scott, you've pinpointed the weakness of the live streaming platform!"
Streamers had even more ordinary backgrounds than celebrities, with basically no one to help them. Once a problem arose, it can't be the same as before.
Skyview said, "Don't you think the live streaming industry has been trending negatively lately? Multiple media outlets have started reporting on the chaos in the live streaming industry, and people have begun to pay attention to the illegal activities related to streamers."
Lily asked, "Do you have evidence of any streamer's illegal activities now?"
Skyview said, "The top male streamer on Shark, Lucas. Take a look at this video!" Skyview said, opening his phone and playing a video for Lily.
The video showed Lucas and a group of offline fans. In the video, Lucas and his fans openly insulted and threatened fans who attacked Lucas, appearing very arrogant!
"He has such low emotional intelligence. It's fine if no one exposes this video, but once it's exposed, it constitutes organized threats and intimidation! A streamer being so high-profile is just asking for trouble," Lily frowned, instinctively feeling disgusted with him. "Why would he do this?"
