Law enforcement officers from the Shenzhen Municipal Supervision Bureau have arrived
html On the evening of March 15, the 2024 CCTV "3·15" party was launched. The party exposed that many dating platforms used anxiety to harvest consumers. High-quality opposite-sex resources, zero-threshold attractive advertisements, and conclusive success stories have become gimmicks. Among them, marriage and love platforms such as Zhenai.com, Jiayuan, and Love Class were named."I don't mind your career background, nor your appearance. I have prepared a house and a car for you. I can also do household chores such as washing dishes and mopping the floor. As long as you have a positive outlook on life and a sense of responsibility..." Having a house, a car, being tall, being young and rich, having a good personality, and "there is no threshold for marriage, just be kind". Such marriage conditions are very rare in real life, but they are everywhere on dating platforms.
This is because in the professional training of marriage and love platforms, "throwing bait" is the first step, fabricating a "virtual person" that suits the customer's wishes to attract customers. This is a way for newcomers to "get started" quickly, but the experienced matchmaker is rich in experience and can piece together stories and lies about any member she has learned about in the past at any time. Even if the customer wants to meet this unreal virtual person, they can "come back" later (through talking skills).
The second step is to "screen out whether the customer has money" through the customer's consumption habits, deposits and other information, "let members who have no money let him go, and let him go"; next, "block other possibilities for the customer", Let customers regard the marriage and love platform as their only hope, and use pain points such as age anxiety, fertility anxiety, and the feelings of children after divorce to induce consumers to purchase membership services that often cost tens of thousands of yuan. Among them, the instructors of Century Jiayuan emphasized during the training that customers must be treated as "prey".
If I hadn’t personally participated in the matchmaker training class within the dating company, the outside world might never have guessed that the enthusiastic matchmaker sitting opposite me was full of words. Judging from the matchmaker training courses of these companies, they basically use perfect virtual characters to whet their appetites and screen wealthy customers.
After this process, there is a question mark as to whether consumers can find the "right person" with the help of the platform.
public information shows that Zhenai.com was established on May 13, 2004 with a registered capital of 10 million yuan. The legal representative is Chen Si and Xiao Suining is the current chairman. Its business scope includes the technical development of network products, investment and establishment of industries (specific projects separately declared), engaged in advertising business, domestic trade, manicure, providing marriage introduction services, etc. The platform's promotional materials show that the platform covers more than 200 million single men and women seeking marriage and dating information. Judicial litigation shows that the company was involved in 195 judicial cases.
