A video uploaded last week that has gone viral shows hundreds of female broadcasters gathered in China, doing their nightly streams under bridges. A few keys to understanding this unusual situation.
Bypass the algorithms. It has become the specialty of hundreds of broadcasters who now spend the night under China’s bridges. The scam was discovered on February 11 by Chinese YouTuber Naomi Wu (over 238,000 subscribers). That day, this technology and innovation enthusiast posted on Twitter video which quickly caused a stir on social networks. We see young women sitting on the ground under a bridge, equipped with an array of streaming equipment: a microphone, a tripod, a smartphone, ring light… But what exactly is happening in reality?
Wealthy neighborhoods
If Naomi Wu is to be believed, these broadcasters from Guilin (a city in southern China) are trying to play with the algorithm here. And for good reason. Some platforms in China offer the ability to view lives based on location. Therefore, streams from affluent neighborhoods will allow these young Chinese women to solicit larger donations from Internet users. “What happens is they interfere with the location function. Streaming platforms allow users to search for streamers based on their location; affluent neighborhoods bring in much better donations due to the presumed reach of the broadcaster.

“Many also have day jobs”
The incomes of these assembly lines will also be profitable and much higher than what they would get if they worked in a factory. Anyway, this is what Naomi Wu says on Twitter: “The income can be quite good, although many also have day jobs,” he writes. However, according to raw These young streaming enthusiasts don’t work for themselves, but for a media company that broadcasts content online from 9pm to early morning.
However, this activity under the bridges is not to everyone’s taste. So many broadcasters would be kicked out after noise complaints. And since then would have moved to another bridge further away from this wealthy neighborhood.
