Online Live Broadcast: Lies and Redemption in the Traffic Era

At three o'clock in the morning, debt collection text messages woke up Chen Mo like a dying convulsion - a genius experimenter in the field of psychology in the past, now he has become a "traffic hunter" who dismantles the weaknesses of human nature. He used the phrase "If you miss the next train on the subway, allow yourself to eat an extra egg", he turned unsaleable pancakes into a "self-absolution ritual" for commuters; he packaged unpalatable sparkling water as "the rebellious sweetness of social animals" and set off a nationwide carnival with the "worst drink" controversy; he created an "emotional shelter" for high-end skin care products, allowing millions of women to pay sky-high premiums for trust in the resonance of "seeing your tiredness". He is a "humanity hacker" in the data age, accurately capturing anxiety, desire and loneliness, and refining people's hearts into quantifiable traffic currency. Until a "Liver Krypton Life" marketing plan planned by him accidentally pushed a young man into the abyss. When bloody fingerprints appeared in the cold data stream, and when the "Eye of Themis" system reduced "individuals" to probability errors, he was shocked to realize that every "truth" he had carefully woven was just a lie on the altar of traffic. Now, he holds the core vulnerability of the system. On one side is the throne of "cognitive control" handed to him by capital, and on the other side is the glimmer of redemption under the gaze of the abyss. "When you use people's hearts as bargaining chips, have you ever thought that you are also a commodity to be sold?" This is a game about manipulation and resistance, algorithms and human nature - in an era when traffic is king, do we harvest data, or are we harvested by data?
