Do you still post on Moments now?

Human beings are always interested in new things, from QQ to blogs, from blogs to Weibo, and from Weibo to Moments. One after another, we abandon the old things and welcome the new things one after another.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find a very interesting thing. No matter how the information platform changes, one thing has never changed - content.

I work in self-media. I discussed the demise of self-media with a friend before. My friend said that he was very troubled by it and felt that it was getting harder and harder to build a platform. No one reads what you write, even if it is forwarded to Moments, so what? Even if you work hard on writing, no one will really pay attention to you.

Of course I understand his confusion very well. Indeed, the current traffic economy is in decline, and those of us who work in self-media will naturally have great anxiety about fans, traffic, and article reading. Whenever late at night comes and everyone is asleep, I will feel empty after posting to Moments and various miscellaneous groups. I will be uneasy and open "Articles I Wrote" one by one, even if I claim that I don't care. I will still pay attention to the reading volume of the article and how many people like the article I wrote.

I don’t know how many days and nights I have passed through in such chaos. Many times, I ask myself why I work so hard, since no one is watching. But I thought about it carefully, for my original intention of writing, for myself to bring more and more good articles to readers, and for my dream of publishing a book for so many years.

You have so many extravagant hopes, can you do it without working hard? Even when late at night comes, and you stare at the number of followers on your WeChat official account again and again, without adding many fans, you will hit yourself in the chest countless times and say: Fuck this life.

But today, let’s not talk about self-media people, only “Will you still post in Moments today?” I remember on April 19, 2012, when WeChat Moments first appeared. , I was still in college, and a classmate ran into the dormitory to tell me that there was a very interesting thing called WeChat, and it could send status. I felt like I was listening to a book from heaven. I looked at my little Nokia and cursed in my mind: "Damn it, the phone doesn't support it."

At the same time, Weibo was in full swing at that time. I hold my little Nokia and use UC browser to read one Weibo post after another every day.

Weibo is very powerful. Today, four years later, I still check Weibo from time to time. If I don’t check it for a day, I feel that I cannot keep up with the times and that I am completely behind the times.

In 2012, almost everyone with a little knowledge and education registered Weibo immediately. Weibo is very open, and you can see the status of everyone: your favorite celebrities, your favorite entrepreneurs, your favorite jokers. In short, as long as they are your idols, post on Weibo and like them, then In an instant, I felt that the distance between me and him had become much closer.

What we like most in 2012 is to use Weibo. Everyone’s most important things will be announced to the world on Weibo. The indifferent texts you post on weekdays, your daily status, likes and comments are mixed with how many people really care about you.

In fact, posting a status is to record your life that day, your emotions when something happened, and how deeply you love someone will show how much emotion you have to them on Weibo. I guess there must be many people holding their mobile phones. They are all cheerful. They will laugh for a long time when looking at a status, or else they are not smiling but are very happy in their hearts.

Of course, among them there must be girls who cry in joy after reading every Weibo post. Exhausted mentally and physically, they are desperate to delete every single Weibo post.

In fact, deleting Weibo is the same as tearing up your diary. Do you have to finish deleting it heartily to feel really good? No, that memory never dies, it's still in your head.

By 2013, Weibo slowly began to die out. It gradually became a platform for "you to see others", rather than a platform for you. More and more people are starting to fight in the circle of friends.

The most popular time for Moments was in 2013 and 2014.

Where did they go to play every day, what interesting things happened, the girls came to show off their affection, and the boys said a few words that they thought were very philosophical.

In addition to posting to Moments, we then created another action, "brushing", to refresh Moments. If Weibo is "Knowing what's going on in the world without going out", then Moments is "I know you even if I see you or not".

When we scroll through Moments and move our thumbs, we can know what our friends around us are doing:

A coquettish girl will scroll through Moments and say to her boyfriend , "Look at me, I gave you a gift";

The guy in the office can only watch the girl he likes post a selfie, and then like it without any shame;

When the old mothers at home see the condition of their children in the city, they will call anxiously and ask, "What's wrong with you?";

The boss who is smiling all day long will also be secretly upset. , "Who blocked me again?"; some little kids who haven't grown up yet will also ask for help, likes, and attention in the circle of friends;

You can enjoy all the things without going out during the holidays The beauty of the world.

Businesses have found business opportunities in Moments, and one after another they have become micro-businesses, and then they have been swiping the screen one after another all day long. If you are pushed too hard, you can only block and block people one after another. Many times I feel confused: Isn’t it good to be a beautiful lady? You have to sell your lust and ask me to pay for it; it’s great to do business in the store, but you have to use your circle of friends as an advertising circle.

The content creators have also found business opportunities one by one. "The time has come to get closer to the readers." One after another, chicken soup for the soul has filled the circle of friends. I drank too much and got tired of it. Why do I have so much chicken soup to drink? Otherwise, just give me three words: poisonous chicken soup.

Now, you will find that many people no longer post on WeChat Moments so unscrupulously, mothers no longer show off their babies, and brothers and sisters no longer show affection every day. The articles are one "little red dot" after another. In many cases, I haven't posted a single post to Moments for a long time.

I used to be able to post three posts a day, but now I can’t post even one post a week; I used to check Moments all the time, but now I only do it a few times to look around.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, each of us wants to be noticed, no matter who you are.

Our human emotions are extremely complex. No matter who you are, you all have emotions and are eager to be noticed. We need to express what we feel and say when something happens at the moment, just like a diary, recording the past in a flash.

When I couldn't sleep many times, I carefully scrolled through my previous status of Moments one by one to see how I could be so stupid and even have these insights at that moment; I would also be very upset. I find that I have lost my words, and feel that the Moments at that moment are a joke, and then "make the status private" or delete it; I will miss the great rivers and mountains I have traveled through, the beautiful photos, and how many The joy of the past.

In fact, Moments brings us a lot: you can record your life, you can check in and supervise yourself, you can happily tease your parents for wearing reading glasses and launch a Moments, which can make you want to travel. Do you want to reminisce about the time when you were on the road, where you could monitor whether your beauty has lost its luster over the past few years, and where you could playfully joke about your facial expressions with old friends you have never met before?

I visited a friend some time ago and he asked me, do you still post on Moments?

I said, very few. He asked me, where do you send your emotions? Where did the daily routine you wanted to record go?

I laughed and wrote. I put everything I felt and thought into my writing. My friends are happy, but what about those who don’t write, where can they express their emotions?

After thinking about it carefully, it turns out that humans are advanced emotional animals, and complex emotions often need to be expressed.

Maybe it is possible to make it a clockwork state and make it private for only yourself to see; or else you can close the circle of friends and claim that you want to: close your ears to what is going on outside the window and be in seclusion.

What is the circle of friends? It is often a reflection of the present and a memory of the past. And today, will you still post on Moments?

A friend of mine told me that she no longer hangs out in the circle of friends. I asked her where she went to practice in seclusion. She said with a playful smile, she returned to her original nature and went to Weibo.

My friend said that when I first started, I really wanted to be noticed, so I followed Feng and posted on Moments. But as time went by, I found that the people in the circle of friends became more and more complex, and the circle became wider and wider. It was a waste of time to see each label and group, so I simply went to Weibo. Anyway, no one would laugh at me even if I was innocent. Own.

You want to express the soft feelings in your heart, but you are afraid of being seen by the people around you, and then ask, "What's wrong with you? Why are you in such a state?" Your face is full of embarrassment and you don't want to explain. Just waiting for that moment the air becomes lonely.

Over time, we will find that our circle of friends has become a harmonious "Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall". Where there is any sadness, there is "singing and dancing" everywhere. The circle of friends has declined, and it is becoming less and less candid. There are fewer and fewer people who dare to tell the truth in the circle of friends.

I don’t know if a new thing will appear in a few years that can replace the circle of friends. Then we will start to be exposed to new things and forget about the old things one after another.

Counting on our fingers, we have forgotten a lot of things. Blogs are dead, QQ space is dying, everyone is forgotten, Weibo is still popular, friend circles are dying, and the attention of public accounts is also decline.

But no matter how things change, we still need to express our emotions and record our lives. Days pass by, and when the sun comes up, yesterday becomes the past, and today is a new beginning.

The brain's memory is not always so bright, and we need to record the moment, the present. Will you still post on Moments today?
