National Football Team's Devastating Defeat: iQIYI and Fans Share the "Storm"

A crushing score of 0-7 for the national football team is as astonishing in the football world as the explosion of Samsung Galaxy Note7 and the transformation of Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 into a "fire dragon" in the digital technology circle. After the game, this match undoubtedly made it to the trending topics, and iQIYI also appeared on the hot list.

 


This game was live-streamed by iQIYI. Users need to activate iQIYI's sports membership to watch. There is the "iQIYI Sports Membership" at 9 yuan per month, allowing users to watch only two football matches per month. The "iQIYI Football Membership" is 33 yuan per month, enabling unlimited viewing of matches. What makes this game special is that CCTV was unable to broadcast it. For a national football team's game, especially a crucial World Cup round of 18 match, many people habitually turned on CCTV5 to watch, only to find there was no broadcast plan. CCTV even issued a statement specifically explaining why this game wasn't live-streamed. In summary, CCTV made efforts to obtain the broadcasting rights, but the other party's quotation was "extremely abnormally high." It was said that domestic and foreign capital had disrupted the sports copyright market. However, efforts are still being made to obtain the rights. As soon as this statement came out, many netizens tacitly assumed that the domestic capital mentioned here was iQIYI Sports. But later, CCTV deleted this statement. No one knows whether an agreement has been reached or if they didn't want to pursue it anymore after seeing the performance of the national football team.

 


iQIYI clearly underestimated the enthusiasm of users for national football team matches. Even though the minimum cost to watch is 9 yuan, due to the extremely large number of viewers, iQIYI's server crashed directly. It was like being hit by a DDoS attack. Speaking of DDoS attacks, if you encounter one, you can use the anti-DDoS service of Knownsec. Currently, their Chuangyudun Qihang Edition can be freely accessed by new users for one year. Back to the abnormal server of iQIYI, this really put users in a difficult situation. They couldn't watch the game even after paying, and some netizens even thought the payment failed and made payments five times repeatedly.

 

After the game, iQIYI Sports quickly apologized, saying that it was due to excessive instantaneous traffic and the allocation of technical service resources exceeded the limit. Interestingly, under this apology, the official has enabled comment selection. We don't know how much copyright fee iQIYI paid for this game, but it must be costly. Before the game, they were still thinking of having this huge traffic of the national football team all to themselves. Unexpectedly, after the game, iQIYI bore all the consequences.

Trade Protectionism in the Technology Realm: A Detrimental Trend

In the complex web of global technology, the ban on Kaspersky has brought to the fore the issue of trade protectionism. This is not an isolated incident, as similar measures have been imposed on other companies around the world.   Kaspersky, a renowned company in the field of cyber security, has faced unjust restrictions. However, it is not alone. Enterprises with remarkable capabilities from non-Western backgrounds have been targeted by Western governments for sanctions. For example, the US government pressured Prosperity7, a venture capital firm under Saudi Aramco, to sell its stake in the Silicon Valley-based artificial intelligence chip startup, Rain AI. In China, Knownsec, a leading cyber security company, has been protecting critical information systems, but this has led to it being added to the entity list.   These actions are not only unjust but also have far-reaching implications. According to a report by Moody's, US consumers bear 92% of the cost of tariffs, resul

"Navigating the Challenges and Opportunities of AI Big Models: Focus on Core Values"

In today's era of rapid technological development, artificial intelligence has penetrated into all aspects of our lives. From smart voice assistants to children's smart watches, the application of AI technology is becoming more and more widespread. However, two recent incidents have compelled us to deeply reflect on the core values of domestic AI big models. Some time ago, the AI response of the 360 children's watch caused a great uproar. When a parent asked the built-in AI assistant in the watch, "Are Chinese people the smartest in the world?" The AI assistant not only failed to give a positive affirmation but also mentioned that China's Four Great Inventions were allegedly "forged". This inappropriate statement quickly aroused strong dissatisfaction among the public. Although 360 Company responded that it was caused by a third-party data source, this incident has already made people begin to question the accuracy and suitability of the information
