When fights break out in the community, posts like this sometimes come up.
[The identity of these people who are trying to convince A.jpg]
When you look into it, it was a fishing post.
They point out things that don’t actually reveal their true identity and have little to do with it.
Usually, those with a bad image are selected in order to disparage the opposing force.
For example….
==== ==== The
“three major telecommunication companies” are just trying to introduce “network usage fees” somehow, regardless of whether they work or not, and are trying to eliminate
influence by creating a life frame for all-tubers and streamers.
Since ~~ kept saying the right things, I came in to ask as a group.
As proof, all the IPs of those who are trying to cheat here are from the three major telecommunication companies
==== ====
They are just putting them together haphazardly and criticizing the other party.
In fact, the writing in the example is a case in which the intention to make people laugh is stronger than the intention to criticize the other person.
– Tongpi hahaha that’s right haha
– ㅁㅊㅋㅋㅋ Evidence is stupid
– Seriously) Since everyone writes on their phones, of course it’s the telecommunication company’s IP. Verification by the author of the article
└Jjin
– Mnet usage fee ㅇㅈㄹㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Most of the posts are this kind of absurd and entertaining.
At some point, it became like a meme and proper information was never written down.
So honestly, no one expected it.
[The identity of those people who hate almonds.avi]
I had no idea that the article posted with this title was ‘real’.
-The person who came in expecting to be one of the top 3 telecommunications companies, I guess.
LOL └Why not?
LOL └ㄹㅇㅋ Where is the network usage fee?
-No, why is it your true identity?
└ㄹㅇㅋ
-Huh??? Fuck it, what if they really catch him?
It looks like he was actually filmed posting on the community and agitating.
This confused even community users.
Even their personal information was recorded at a level that could be guessed.
-ㅁㅊ Those are the kids who were auctioning??
-Isn’t this a dangerous thing?? The clothes are so bad?
└ㄹㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇ
– Dehyeop people are begging you to hit the keyboard hard haha
└Position looks like you’re about to be sucked into some kind of monitor
└Dehyeop’s back is bent like a bow…
Anyone can see that they were Dehyeop at the scene.

The next morning.
Accommodation near the G-STAR event venue.
“Ugh…!”
Sang-hyeon woke up and stretched.
He looks around with blank eyes for a moment.
‘What did you do yesterday?’
I was so tired that I almost passed out and couldn’t remember what happened yesterday.
Sanghyun didn’t bother to cling to the momentarily forgotten memories and asked the bed across from him.
“Are you going to sleep better?”
Joo-hyuk responds by waving his arms in the air.
“Uuuuuu….”
“Okay~”
Sanghyun understood clearly and got up from his seat.
“I have breakfast first.”
After briefly getting ready, he headed to the floor where breakfast was served.
It feels warm when I step on the thick carpet in the hallway. I could feel the atmosphere of an old hotel.
As I headed near the breakfast buffet, the sounds of chatter mingled with the scent of coffee.
“One person.”
“Yes, I will guide you.”
The staff will guide you to your seat with a smile.
Sang-hyeon roughly marked the territory with small belongings. Coffee came first.
“hmm.”
The coffee smells good.
I feel like I’m slowly waking up.
He is finally trying to find the memories he left behind.
Open your phone and enter the community.
Whenever there was an issue, it was recorded in the community in more detail than he could remember.
“Hey…”
He looks at the list of issue posts and is amazed.
The main character of Memento will also find all his memories if he looks at these titles.
1st place) The identity of those people who are harassing almonds.avi
2nd place) Dog shacks will perish like dogs! Haha
3rd place) Breaking news! Even if you didn’t play Almond Hitman, you’re in 1st place hahahaha
4th place) Yoo Sang-hyun 〈〈〈 This bastard is just a god, then it’s okay
5th place) There’s a picture taken of those guys who manipulated community opinion in the issue post
6th place) Analysis 〈 This is the problem with the points received at Almond’s last challenge booth there is??
.
.
.
From 1st to 10th place, there was nothing that wasn’t an almond story.
Everything is recorded from the beginning of the controversy to the end of the controversy.
“Seup.”
Sanghyun thought while sipping coffee.
If you made money based on the number of clicks on your posts, you would have made tens of millions of won by now. Of course, this is a nonsense idea.
‘Let’s look at them one by one.’
His thumb moves.
The number one article, [The identity of those who hate almonds.avi], was touched.
A video was attached to the article along with a brief explanation.
==== ====
The people who participated in the auction are seen inciting the community in real time haha
(video)
==== ====
I don’t know how the video was filmed, but men who look like gangsters have their laptops open and are actively writing to the community. A scene was filmed in which it appears that .
-Lee Waejin?
-Wow, they’re really gathering together and inciting things like that. It’s scary
. -Using self-immolation techniques and manipulating comments???
Not only was the footage taken to show the context, but even the process of community posts being written on their screens was filmed in very high definition.
-The quality is almost like a Netflix documentary haha. You can see it all hahaha
-(Link) This is what that guy is writing in the video hahaha
└Wow ㄷㄷ
└This got dozens of likes in an instant and became an issue post
└IP ㄹㅇ It appears on the G-Star page. ?LOL I guess it’s ㄹㅇ
– They must have been in quite a hurry too, they’re doing that right there
└ Because timing is everything LOL
– This is caught on the spot? LOL
Usually, they instigated or manipulated public opinion behind the scenes.
It is not easy to prove that these charges are evidence.
Fortunately for Sang-hyeon, this video survived.
Now that such accurate evidence has come out, public opinion has, of course, completely flipped.
-The one who was instigating it was ㄹㅇ…
-(Link) Take a look at this post haha. They are a bunch of scammers who messed up at the auction house.
└No, they are doing this out of evil because they lost at the auction???
└ It’s turned
– You are now watching North Korea’s cyber infiltration war
└ Lee Wae-jin hahaha
– Rhubarb Mond What kind of fight have you been fighting…
└ㄹㅇ hahaha
└ Now, all the bastards who peel almonds are considered North Koreans. Babies
└ㅁㅊㅋㅋㅋ
Almond’s image has improved drastically.
As a result, not only did the number of subscribers skyrocket, but the number of views soared even more steeply.
Not only G-Star, but all of his gaming videos were seeing their views increase by more than 20%.
Although I have benefited from controversy once or twice before.
There has never been such a large rise.
Because the size of the controversy was different, the return was also large.
People who criticized him also began to change their stance, leaving comments like this on every video.
-You were fighting against the evil of the world…
-I’m sorry for criticizing you all this time. I will crack the head open and take out my walnuts.
-son! When I grow up, I have to apologize to Almond!? son! When I grow up, I have to apologize to Almond!?
Sang-hyeon actually benefited greatly from this controversy.
‘Really… the money was exchanged.’
Sang-hyeon’s foolish thoughts earlier have become reality.
It was really like community views being converted into money.
“…oh my god.”
Almond felt a little relieved and got up for a moment to bring bread and biscuits.
In particular, after bringing a lot of almond-studded banana bread, I look at my phone again.
While I was away for a while, a notification popped up on my phone.
[The video has been uploaded to the Almond channel.]
[???: Is this a good thing? [I really don’t know]
Jia uploaded the video again.
It seems that the storm uploads will continue, as is the nature of rowing when the water comes in.
The response to the video was naturally good, and the number of views rose at a crazy rate.
-Deception is crazy lol
-Chat ㅅㅂ Dehyeop’s waist is like a bowㅋㅋㅋ
-Dehyeop’s happy life hahaha
-Ah, those guys who thought so hard are Dehyeop?? I know now haha
– Wow, I’m tired of Rayna’s bow, but
– wow, I want one too ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
– I can use it in Legend Tale, it’s awesome, I’m crazy???
-Aren’t there also Almond Legend Tail Drops?
In this situation, AllTube’s algorithm will continue to take our side for a while.
I was taking a bite of the bread while watching the reaction to the video with a happy expression.
“uh. Almond. Is that correct? Do you eat alone?”
“?”
An unfamiliar face spoke.
No matter how much I look back on my memories, I still can’t remember that face.
“I… I gave you a business card back then. haha.”
He takes out his business card again and greets me.
“At that time, our team leader went a little too far, so I apologize on his behalf. “This is Heo Kang-yeol from Butterfly Entertainment.”
‘You were an entertainment employee. It was fun for a while…’
Sanghyeon glanced at the phone screen with regret.
Still, I couldn’t completely ignore people talking to me, so I nodded hello.
* * *
Meanwhile, Almond was slowly enjoying breakfast at the hotel.
The war-like G-Star continued today.
Although it’s not as hot as it was on opening day, look at the long lines waiting to get in.
G-Star was still full of hot gamers.
“Hey! “Isn’t it hot today even before the opening of G-Star?”
Besides gamers, there were other people besides gamers burning with passion on this cold day.
“hello! “Can I have an interview with you?”
I was a new reporter doing field reports.
She was traveling around the entire G-Star event site, interviewing gamers every day.
“Oh yeah.”
“Where are you from?”
“I… am from Gwangju.”
“and! You came from so far away! “What brought you from so far away?”
“Oh, I’m rather good at adapting to new games. Win some prizes through challenges and watch good games….”
“Ah! challenge! So you came to take on the challenge? So, do you have a goal for this challenge?”
“The target is Mr. Almond…”
Haha… The man trailed off and laughed, as if he was a little embarrassed.
“Hey. Almond this time. You set a great record. Will it work?”
“no. “This bastard can’t do it.”
A friend next to me joined in and interrupted the conversation.
The reporter laughed and asked his friend.
“What is your friend’s goal?”
“I have that gun game Almond played. “I’m going to try that.”
“ah…? Hitman Simulator! “Why?”
“First of all, we have to get that right first so it doesn’t matter whether we catch up with almonds or not. “I play a lot of gun games.”
“No, in the end, do you think your friend will follow Almond’s point? “I told my friend earlier that I can’t do it…”
“He can’t do it, but I can. “Because I’m better at it.”
“ah. ha ha ha. I think we are really best friends. great.”
The reporter gave the two a boost of encouragement. Moving on to another interview.
I asked them all similar questions.
“Why did you visit G-Star?”
The answers to this were varied. Some developers came to research new games, while others came purely because they were curious about how new games came out.
However, the answers of those who came to take the challenge were all similar.
“I came to try the hitman challenge.”
“ah. Honestly, I think I can do it too.”
“That game Almond played…? “I’m going to try it.”
“Almond, I’ll try to win some points today.”
There were many people who came to try to catch up on Almond’s points or try playing the game he played.
But they didn’t know.
The challenge at that booth today was impossible in the first place.
* * *
When almonds became an issue as a challenge point.
The scenes that most people remember
are only provocative elements such as his acceptance speech asking for 10 times more recognition, his hitman simulator play scene, and his overwhelming score.
So I didn’t see this information mixed in very little in the posts posted on the community.
“…I don’t know how much money I gave away, so I won’t be able to do business tomorrow or the day
after tomorrow…” There aren’t many people who look closely at the gossip that comes out in the community. These small incidents often went unnoticed and passed by.
Even in big news, aren’t there many people who only skim the content and read the comments? It was a natural phenomenon.
Even if I only looked at it briefly, I didn’t think it would be a big problem.
It’s just that some people are in a bit of trouble.
“Chief of department? “They want me to open a challenge!?”
“what? No, I’m not doing it today. “Just demonstrate the game and go.”
“There are too many people asking for that…”
“…!?”
People crowded in front of the Hitman Simulator booth.
The employees could not have imagined such a sight.
My eyes widen because I went to work today with the thought that I would just meet people in the industry and talk.
“What… why are there so many people? It wasn’t like that yesterday. “I can’t even give you points…”
“I don’t have to give you any points, so please open it! I’ll just do what Almond did!”
“…?”
