Recently, a well-known technology blogger and one of Bilibili's "Top 100 UP Owners" for three consecutive years (2021, 2022, and 2023) @ Geekerwan released a post titled "Mobile Game Performance Review: Manufacturers are so crazy about cheating!" "The video was unexpectedly removed from the Internet, attracting the attention of netizens and the media. The video and related graphics and text content are no longer accessible on many mainstream platforms, and the topic once became a hot search topic on Tieba.
It is reported that Geek Bay exposed in the video that some mobile phone manufacturers may engage in "score cheating" behavior. He pointed out that some manufacturers will make special adjustments to the "media evaluation machines" to make them perform well in performance tests, but the performance of the actual commercially available models has shrunk.
After the incident, Geek Bay revealed that when the video was taken down, he did not receive any official notice or explanation of infringement, and the whole matter was not handled through regular procedures. In response to this, he posted a counterattack on the platform: "I don't know who did it, but I can't give up just yet." He also publicly authorized netizens to reprint it and provided a download link, hoping that the content would continue to spread. However, the update was deleted in less than an hour, the cloud download link was also blocked, and subsequent supplementary videos on the site were also removed from the shelves.
Previously, this video briefly existed on Geek Bay’s YouTube channel, but as of this writing, it has been removed and cannot be viewed.
