You are 78 years old this year. On a whim, you downloaded a marginal software, hoping to meet some people who are 70-79 years old. Almost instantly, you successfully matched and chatted with many grandmothers in their 70s. They respond enthusiastically and even send you voice messages.



This is not a joke, but a real experience that happened to a blogger. Originally, he just wanted to set his age to 78 and make a little joke with the software. Unexpectedly, the software responded with a big response.

Rather than believing that your 70-year-old grandma has become an internet trend-setter and gathers together in batches to chat about sex, more people have come to the conclusion that:These users who perfectly match their needs areAIInstantly generated for you.

Are all current chat software so hardcore?

Out of curiosity, I downloaded a batch of software and tried to help you find the answer to this question..

Although major app stores are vigorously cracking down on these marginal software, software developers are also finding ways to bypass platform management in order to make money. Therefore, they can download a batch of them with little effort.

However, unfortunately, the batch I downloaded has age restrictions, and the oldest age that can be filled in is 60 years old.

There is also a limit to 55 years old


With a snap of your fingers, Shichao becomes a 60-year-old single man, easy!

However, why haven’t I started chatting yet, and you are charging me money...


If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. In order to see the prosperity of the world, this elderly man reluctantly took out the pocket money at the bottom of the box.

Then, in an instant, a lot of messages from old girls came to me.


You all know that I am the uncle, why are you still here?


Thank you, you are so polite...


There are also those who directly send voice messages when they disagree. What the hell...


After entering the chat box, the system will automatically push the information card of the other party. The card shows that many of them are 53-year-old girls.

Under such a fierce offensive, I soon fell into this situation:

A 53-year-old girl was chatting with me, another 53-year-old girl sent me a video call, and another one was sending me photos. Can a 60-year-old man be so charming? This is too ridiculous...

Some screenshots of a 53-year-old girl


At this point, this elderly man is really confused, but unlike the blogger at the beginning of the article, the old girls he encountered all have white hair. The old girls I met have black hair and fashionable clothes, and they don’t look like they are 50 years old.

Shichao, who has a sharp mind, casually clicked on the homepage of a 53-year-old girl and found out that her age on the homepage was actually 24...


So, in fact, the system automatically "changes" them into users who match my needs, and this system is too lazy to deceive them thoroughly.

After careful observation, I found that the old girls can be divided into two categories.

A type of suspected AI, several greetings are almost the same, and they will not send you voice calls or video calls.

The other is a real person,After being bombarded with video calls from the old girl, I answered one, and the other party answered my questions immediately, and the answers were very targeted, not like artificial retardation. Of course, I didn't understand why she wanted to appear on camera like this...


So, why do they contact me so passionately?

In fact, in these software, everything from video calls to sending messages costs money. Video calls are 10 yuan/minute and sending messages is 1 yuan/message. After Shichao briefly chatted with the old girl in front of me for a while, he directly reminded me that my balance was insufficient.


At this point, everyone should more or less understand the routines of these softwares. Shichao also registered a female account out of curiosity to experience the logic of female accounts in this type of software.

There is no need to pay money to register a female account, but if you want to chat with others, you need to pay money + authentication.


Because chatting requires payment, as long as the other party talks/videos with you, the money belongs to you, and you can set the payment price of the other party yourself, such as 20 yuan/message for sending you a message.

Your income can be withdrawn, but the platform will take a commission from it, and if you are involved in pornography, vulgarity, induce consumption, etc., the platform may ban you.

In short, the man who goes up to chat must be exhausted. Does anyone really think that there is a thread in online marriage? The other party just wants you to talk more and make money from you. It’s hard to make money from women. If you ban them casually, it will be G.The only ones who have the last laugh are these marginal software.

In the Internet era, society operates at a high speed, and what is important is change.

The smash-hit OFO fell, Ruixing, abandoned by the capital market, started a fight for a turnaround, and even Jia Yueting, who went abroad, handed over his car, but the "edge business" still followed the established trajectory and the same deception techniques continued to flourish.

In 2005, not long after the rise of the domestic Internet, Taekwondo player Zhu Muyan, who won a gold medal for Chinese Taipei at the Athens Olympics, was defrauded and blackmailed out of millions of Taiwan dollars because of online chats.


Then social software emerged, and “drift bottles” became popular.

Users put what they want to say into the bottle and throw it out to drift. They can also pick up a bottle and reply to the communication. "Edge business" followed suit accurately, hiring people to throw bottles containing pornographic information, and even creating a part-time model.


Because "edge commerce" has its own fixed market, some people have developed specialized APPs, which are paid, of course, with a buyout system, and the buyout fee ranges from tens to hundreds. There is also a per-message charging system. Boys need to pay to send messages to girls. The price is usually around 1 yuan/message.


From this, a kind of online profession was born, professional chatters. They will call you "husband" and "baby" when you open your mouth, and you will be stunned by sugar-coated bullets one after another. But behind this, they can earn you 50 cents for one message, and a good chatter can earn thousands a day.

Of course, after the rise of AI, professional chatters changed from him and her to it.

"The mantis stalks the cicada before the oriole lurks behind." There are many scammers on these software. They feel particularly sorry for giegie. They considerately say that chatting on these platforms requires money, so why not go to QQ, and then they will flirt with you and send you virus files, which will be a big deal.


After watching too many long-lasting social software, people have a feeling:Socializing with strangers is not social at all, but a tool for making money.

In the past few years with the rapid development of the Internet, people's lives have been condensed and they are undergoing rapid and large-scale changes every day. "Edge business" has also rapidly followed the times, from drifting bottles to AI.


Every character in the "borderline business" is getting what they need. In the unchanging place shrouded in pornography and borderland, there are no lambs to be hunted, only wolves waiting for their prey to take the bait.
