Abstract:
The "daughter-in-law as a car model" that was once popular on car forums is still around now! Recently, the well-known car blogger Han Lu revisited Autohome. After seeing this familiar column, he was filled with emotion and suggested that the platform pay more attention to it and make it bigger.
Han Lu posted on Weibo that he was passing by Autohome and found that the flagship column "Daughter-in-law as a Car Model" was still there, and he was very surprised.
For many old car forum users, "Daughter-in-law as a Car Model" is definitely a column full of memories.Back then, many car owners would take photos of their cars with their wives, and then upload the photos to forums to share their cars and life. Compared with ordinary car reviews, this type of post not only contains cars, but also characters and stories, so it attracts many netizens to watch.
Han Lu recalled that he had invested a lot of time in this column back then, and spent countless days and nights just reviewing illegal posts.
He said that this idea is great, but there is still a lot of room for improvement in the web design of Autohome-related sections. For example, the column does not even have the function of sorting according to the number of clicks, number of comments and other data, making it inconvenient for users to find popular posts.
In Han Lu’s view, it is becoming increasingly difficult to create vertical automotive media, and instead we should re-promote this kind of platform-specific content.
He suggested that Autohome actively encourage car owners to take photos of their wives so that more users can participate.
Not only that, Han Lu also proposed that the column could be further expanded and divided into two categories: "Beautiful Wife" and "Spiritual Husband". This can not only meet the browsing interests of different users, but also allow more families to participate in automotive content creation.
Of course, Han Lu also emphasized that the platform needs to strengthen backend review, and pictures involving excessive edging and illegal exposure should not be displayed publicly.
He even said bluntly that if he returned to Autohome to be responsible for operations, he would definitely upgrade this column to a first-level category and devote more energy to it.
The reason is also very simple. This kind of content with the participation of real car owners and a sense of life is one of the features that distinguishes Autohome from other platforms.
Han Lu’s suggestion also brought up the past of Autohome’s review of posts.
Guan Wei, former product manager of Autohome, recalled in the comment area that in order to deal with illegal pictures, the team developed a set of tools to view and delete pictures.
In that era before AI-assisted review, image content basically required manual screening.
Guan Wei said that all images that can be displayed publicly are those that meet the requirements, and illegal content will be hidden and saved.
Later, some functions of this review tool were also applied to the Autohome product library to help users browse car pictures.
Han Lu later said that some car owners would even persuade their wives to try larger-scale models in order to take photos. Some of the photos were so unimaginable.
Today, automotive content has long shifted from traditional forums to short videos, live broadcasts and social platforms, and the way users obtain automotive information has also undergone great changes.
However, Han Lu believes that original content with community characteristics such as "Daughter-in-law as a Car Model" still has the value of recreating it.
For old users who have experienced the golden age of car forums, this column not only carries car photos, but also memories of visiting the forum, reading posts, and exchanging car life.
