Chapter 354: Is the Reason for Everything Just One Sentence? (Seeking Monthly Votes)

To the vast audience of A Yi, the person known as A Yi is quite magical.

He is like a catfish that has burrowed into a silent lake, stirring up the entire environment.

In the past, one would often see articles online, such as "Don't be friends with people who are too serious," or perhaps "It's better to be a bit muddled in this life."

But A Yi has shattered all these past experiences; he uses one "Why should I?" after another to make many young people his supporters—that's right, why should we?

Why should we who are serious be the ones in the wrong?

They commit wrongs without restraint, and when we want to use legal means to protect our rights, we are still called the ones in the wrong. Who exactly is in the wrong here!

Whoever is at fault should be the one to bear the consequences!

However, A Yi is great in every way, except that his updates are just too damn slow.

Especially since he likes to cut off his videos, leaving everyone hanging; one wishes the audience could go to his door to "give him gifts," like fists the size of sandbags, or perhaps palms the size of palm-leaf fans.

As it turns out, today, for no apparent reason, everyone woke up and saw that A Yi had updated.

He is just that willful; the sudden update caught many people completely off guard.

"Who is the Master of Our Phones (Part 1)"—this was the title of A Yi's video this time, and many old viewers, including Yuan Jie, were confused after seeing this title.

In Guang City, Yuan Jie had just returned from a trip, and then she realized, why go out? It was simply spending money to find trouble; wasn't it better to stay at home and fiddle with one's phone?

Fiddling with a phone is certainly enjoyable, so upon seeing this title, Yuan Jie was a bit suspicious: Who is the master of my phone? Of course, I am the master, who else could it be?

I have to say, A Yi's videos seem to have a kind of magic that makes you want to see what this "honey badger" is planning to be serious about this time as soon as you see the title.

Click play, and then a whole bunch of bullet comments float by; unsurprisingly, everyone first kindly greets A Yi before watching the video.

Say nothing else, where else can you find such a harmonious relationship!

"Hello, my dear audience, I am your old friend A Yi. Why haven't I updated recently? Don't ask; if you ask, it's because I went to find material. In this video, we will mainly discuss who exactly is the master of my phone."

"The cause of the matter is simple: a 'Slow Application' thing keeps popping up on my phone. After I uninstalled it from the desktop, I found it was still running. I started looking for tutorials online and finally seemed to have uninstalled it."

"But I didn't expect that this thing couldn't be uninstalled at all..."

Zhou Yi posted the messages he had previously replied to online; what is called a slap in the face, this is a slap in the face.

The alt account Zhou Xuan Ye has met its end.

"Then, I still went to customer service as usual, but customer service told me that it could be turned off. But I really wanted to know how to uninstall it; however, no one told me. Actually, until now, I am still planning how to deal with this matter."

"As a result, I met an expert..."

Then Zhou Yi began to introduce the reply from that "Zhong'ai Yisheng" brother.

"This brother is an expert. He told me that there are many cases of tort in this world; aren't those pre-installed apps all torts? Why don't you go sue? Those phone manufacturers are so excessive, why don't you go find them?"

"I think what he said makes a lot of sense, so I feel the water in this area is a bit deep. Everyone knows me; when I encounter a place where the water is deep, I never indulge them. Whether I can handle it or not, I go straight for the water pump!"

If someone else said this, they would basically be roasted to a crisp by netizens, but the key is that A Yi said it, so it's fine.

Because this guy has done exactly this before...

Fishing and coming back empty-handed? Don't indulge it, water pump, must use a water pump!

Dreamland, Ah Huang, Xiao Lan, Xiao Di, as well as Pinduoduo, Qiyi Company, and a series of other existences are basically all aware of this point. Sometimes everyone even feels that, according to the logic of a normal novel, this guy A Yi should have been hit by a large truck and turned into cellular form on a dark and windy night long ago.

But fortunately, Zhou Yi has always upheld the view that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall; he usually goes between home and the Company, does not reveal his identity, and does not show his face.

So Yuan Jie's curiosity grew even stronger; she really wanted to know how A Yi handled it this time, and how he would pump out this pool of water!

"I designed an interesting test here. According to the regulations of our Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, among the software pre-installed on this phone, only these few items are allowed not to be uninstalled. Apart from these, everything else must be allowed to be uninstalled!"

"Of course, for the test to be relatively authentic, I bought about several hundred new phones. The guys in the Company were also very tired helping with the test. After that, the phones were given away to everyone through a lucky draw; charity begins at home."

The video played to this point, showing the segment of the Company's people doing the testing; the bullet comments were already frantically spamming things like "So, is your company still hiring?"

"Also, besides testing it myself, I also entrusted a third-party organization to conduct tests. Everyone, don't misunderstand; I have no malice. I just want to know what the situation is with these pre-installed phone apps!"

Under such testing, the Slow Application naturally emerged, and it was clear at a glance that this thing was not among the items stipulated by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Seeing this, Yuan Jie shook her head repeatedly; it must be said, A Yi is worthy of the name, the things he does are always so unique!

Every time you think he is already outrageous enough, he always comes up with even more outrageous moves next time.

Buying so many phones to have the company test them together—it's a wonder he could think of that.

This is just like the Pinduoduo incident before; all kinds of situations were spread online, with everyone saying different things, and there was no very reliable result.

And then, A Yi just used one test to strip them bare.

This time is the same; the problem of pre-installed phone software has actually existed for a long time. It can't be uninstalled, or rather, you think you've uninstalled it, but it's actually still running in the background and consuming data.

You will feel that your phone is clearly still working fine, yet it is lagging to death; that is the reason.

In the video, A Yi did not say what the test results were, only saying: "As for the specifics, everyone has already seen it, so I won't say much more."

"Many of these things must be rooted before they can be uninstalled, but as everyone knows, if our phones are rooted, they are no longer covered by the warranty, so everything depends on what everyone thinks."

No warranty after rooting—Zhou Yi even doubted whether this was a Bully Clause...

After Lawyer Fang's explanation of Standard Clauses during the Qiyi Company incident, Zhou Mouren felt for a time that everything he saw was a Bully Clause...

Later, he also thought it shouldn't count, because after all, this thing is fundamentally based on the "Three Guarantees" regulations.

The video ended here. A Yi didn't say what he was going to do; it seemed like he was just testing it, but this test also made many viewers see clearly how serious the situation of pre-installed software is!

It's not to say that this is serious for everyone; some people like to have more software when they turn on the phone, and pre-installation is really understandable, but using all kinds of tricks to prevent people from uninstalling is the problem!

Before, many people just felt troubled by rogue software, but now they suddenly realize that this damn software pre-installed on the phone that is basically never used and cannot be uninstalled is exactly "rogue software"!

Then they suddenly feel that everyone seems to have thought too highly of many companies, all thinking, look at such a big company, would they still covet this little thing? Would they still play the rogue with you, a user?

You're too young; how do you think many of the software you've seen got their start...

This is considered a field that many people don't pay much attention to, but after watching A Yi's test, they suddenly feel, damn, this is really a bit excessive!

"Xiao Shufu": I really hadn't noticed it before. Now that I think about it, it seems to be really like this. Some things just can't be uninstalled. According to the regulations, this must be a problem.

"Wugou Feijian": Yeah, A Yi can always find some inexplicable fields that everyone knows about to be serious. Speaking of which, is he going to file a Lawsuit? I feel that even if he files this Lawsuit, it's meaningless.

"Zixing Yao Yue": I feel the same. If he really files a Lawsuit, what is the demand? That they occupied memory? Oh, I really feel so annoyed; why are there such troublesome things.

When you don't know, everything is fine; when you encounter those software that can't be uninstalled, you just curse a few times and it passes.

But once they knew, they felt unhappy, yet there was no way to resolve it.

A Lawsuit? Everyone has watched so many episodes of the videos and has gained a little understanding of the basic principles of Civil Litigation; for a lawsuit in civil matters, the amount of compensation must be calculated based on the claims.

Take Tort for example: exactly what right was infringed, to what extent was it infringed, what kind of damage was caused, and then calculate the compensation based on this damage.

In this case, one could rack their brains and still not figure out how to calculate it!

But this did not hinder everyone from starting to crazily forward the video; the user base for smartphones is too large now, and many people are like this—they didn't pay much attention to this issue at all before.

Just like the Big Data Price Discrimination back then, many people had only heard of it, or hadn't even heard of it at all, and only after watching the video did they realize that these companies actually had such tricks!

Naturally, people felt unhappy after seeing these tricks. I bought the phone, I want to uninstall the software, and I still have to look at their damn faces? Wouldn't that make me a beggar on my knees!

Under this mindset, the video's popularity soared.

When Netizens talk about it, they are much more ruthless than A Yi, and many people feel they have been deceived.

"This title is really good: 'Who is the master of my phone?' We spent money to buy the phone, we can't be the masters of it ourselves, and we are still being controlled by others in the open and in the dark. So what did we spend our money on, Grandpa?"

"I am also very surprised. Since there are regulations, then just follow the regulations. Why are they so bold?"

The criticism of the phenomenon became more and more severe. Some people went directly to find Customer Service Department staff after experimenting on their own phones, and the Customer Service Department of major mobile phone Manufacturer companies have already started to be overwhelmed.

Is this even work for humans? Those people seem to have a target; they start by throwing regulations at you, then ask you why this software cannot be uninstalled, and then point out where it violates the rules.

But what can we do about whether it violates the rules or not!

Various apologies were useless, and when they encountered those with a violent temper, upon hearing that there was no way to solve it, they started cursing directly.

Of course, that "Zhong Ai Yi Sheng" brother mentioned in A Yi's video was directly found.

His comment section on Zhihu has become a pilgrimage site, and many Netizens went directly to express their gratitude.

"Really, brother, you, and that person who argued with A Yi's alt account before, you are all burning yourselves to illuminate others, you are all great people, please accept my bow!"

"Please also accept my bow, brother is awesome, I just like you contrarians, and why does A Yi have so many alt accounts."

Similar remarks kept appearing, and some people even sent private messages directly.

In Shenzhen, in a room, Zhong Le just crawled out of bed. He works on things related to Slow Application, so naturally, because of his vested interests, he would definitely speak up for them online.

He had posted many similar remarks before: Slow Application is good, no need to download, fast, and you can use it however you want.

As for pop-ups, that doesn't count for anything; having pop-ups means you have thoughts in this area, this is called Big Data, if you don't understand, go stand to the side.

As a result, when he got up today, he found a bunch of comments and private messages on Zhihu. Driven by curiosity, he opened them and looked, and was directly stunned.

After being dazed for a while, he hurriedly found the video they were talking about. When he saw that name, Zhong Le's heart sank.

A Yi, why is this A Yi's alt account again?

He had heard about that previous incident. People were just talking nonsense online, but who could have imagined that the other party was A Yi's alt account, and he directly made it real.

That Brother Liu has retired from the internet ever since...

At the time, he even thought about how unlucky that person was to encounter a one-in-a-million chance.

As a result, he actually encountered it himself this time, and he even mocked him...

Looking at the reviews in the video, sweat began to bead on Zhong Le's forehead. It's over, it seems I am going to become famous in the Company and in the entire industry...

But is that A Yi crazy? Just because I mocked him and told him not to talk nonsense, he spent such a huge price to pull this off?

After watching the video, fortunately, the other party didn't choose to file a Lawsuit, but what a massive public opinion storm this is!

The same shock was also happening inside Oupian Company.

Zhou Yi, as Fang Dazhuang puts it, is truly petty.

Look, he directly put the conversation with the Oupian Company Customer Service Department in the video.

Everyone was already very dissatisfied with customer service; it seems like they can solve everything, but they can't solve anything.

As a result, after seeing those formulaic replies, they felt even more unhappy, and even the current account of Oupian Company is about to be swarmed.

President Kang of Oupian Company was already furious, roaring at the phone: "Who was the one who handled it in the first place? Why didn't you report the matter up!"

As for Supervisor Liu and customer service agent Chen Jing, they are both stunned now.

Especially Chen Jing; she still hasn't reacted yet—how could that person on the other side be so serious!

She has handled too many customers; she basically knows that no matter what these people say, they are actually just threatening. There are basically none who really go through with it.

At most, they go to the Consumer Association or somewhere to file a complaint, and it's still an online complaint, with incomplete evidence.

Is this A Yi crazy?

And at this moment, the same words also appeared in the office of the Handong Province Consumer Association.

"You have prepared all the evidence and just want us to sue? You can even bring your own Lawyer? What are you after?"

The update is here, good night everyone.

Thanks to A Bo Ci De, another novice brother, An Yu Hai Tang, Wenchidage, Feimaowuyu, you successfully caught my attention, thanks to the brothers for the tips, it's the beginning of the month, I need everyone's guaranteed monthly tickets.
