[Answer] What do you think about Jay Chou fans recently frantically boosting rankings and inflating data?

When I saw this question, my first thought was, “Should I be joining in too?” I wonder how many people answering feel the same way. But since I don’t even know what “boosting rankings” or “inflating data” actually means, I gave up... after all, I’ve never played that game before. Is that a sign that I’m starting to get old? I don’t want to admit it. And yet I also think: we still use Weibo and WeChat, so that should mean we’re not that old yet, right? But what exactly is “chart boosting”? And what is a “super topic”? Am I using some fake version of Weibo?

People don’t deliberately fall behind the times; they simply grow old together with their own era. Just as Jay Chou himself never needed to boost rankings or inflate data, and his fans never imagined doing such things before, maybe all of this is just a way of proving that “old soldiers never die” — that we’re still young, perhaps.

Speaking of which, Stefanie Sun and Jay Chou were the last two singers I truly liked at the tail end of my youth. After that, I suppose I passed the age of idol worship. Time really does slip by in the blink of an eye.
