I know for sure that ig verification system is tough! For that blue tick to be on his ig, that means he already…
About Twitter being as toxic as Weibo…and old investigative article from New York Times back in 2018, and then ZingDaily, talked about how Twitter had about 15% of its accounts being bots / fake accounts…that could be bought to be fake followers. At that time, Weibo had 40% accounts as bots. And Weibo actually controlled a chunk of those bots. The real numbers now must be much more.
Excerpt from the ZingDaily article:
“Chinese Platforms Support Fake Accounts
Fake followers are a fundamental part of Chinese social media platforms. Even though many of them do periodically clean out fake followers, the number of fake followers has continued to rise.
“The platforms don’t want to control bots,” said Elijah Whaley, the Chief Marketing Officer of influencer agency Parklu. “Bots boost daily active user and monthly active user numbers, stimulate ad spend, and make platforms look healthier than they are.”
In the New York Times investigation, an estimated 48 million of Twitter’s active users, or nearly 15 percent, were found to be fakes, with China’s state press agency, Xinhua, listed among the celebrities, media agencies, and businesses who bought followings from a shadowy company called Devumi.
Whaley told us that Weibo automated accounts make-up as much as 40 percent of all active users, nearly triple the bots on Twitter, and he said he wouldn’t be surprised if Weibo itself commands about 15 percent or more of active bots.
“When I was working with Tencent’s QQ Video platform, internal employees used millions of bots to watch, rate, and comment on their own pilot episodes,” said Whaley.
Both Weibo and WeChat sell engagement packages starting from 25 RMB per 1,000 impressions, but at those prices, many would prefer to purchase high-quality fakes from a third party that guarantees 50 comments, likes, or reposts for just 1 RMB.
And those who don’t pay the platforms for engagement have their reach throttled.”

She is spreading misinformation about Zhang Zhehan, on his dedicated page on MDL, harming him in the process, and at the same time cyber bullying anyone debunking her misinformation. That is not free speech. That is cyber violence and crime.
She blocks me and a few others so that she can post whatever. One way to ensure no debunk/discourse and free rein to spread harmful info about the artist on his page.
@smellysmelloffrangrance, u are d one that will be blocked from this page wit ur misinformation and cursing at…
The actor Zhang Zhehan has IG verified that it is his account, as a celebrity. The latest set of pictures on his account showing him wearing his own line of fashion. What smelloffragance is doing at this point is to continue, desperately, to spread misinformation about Zhehan, setting the stage to frame him further.
Zhehan’s fans, please report smelloffragrance, and her accomplice. The cursing of everyone should be stopped.
You know what, I sent him a video of him smiling brightly and then we got this picture. Did he see my msg 🥺🥺😭
Wow! I’m glad you did! It is such a relief to see him smile again. I’d say continue communicating with him. He did say his family, friends and his fans have been there to help him get out of this abyss.
Some fans even got a reply from him on IG…and he has like 35k to 85k comments on each of his IG post!
New / unreleased picture of our dear Zhang Zhehan with a bright smile was posted on Weibo, then his fans on FB:https://www.facebook.com/groups/haizhe/permalink/1208337806663091/This…
Please note that there were 2 accounts on Weibo posting unreleased pictures of him in the past couple of days, and both accounts were permanently removed. But that didn’t stop the postings of his new pics! Kudos to his supporters on Weibo! 💪

In Chinese, if you say Zhehan in reverse, it is HaiZhe, and that sounds like jellyfish …if I am not mistaken.
I just learned along since 813. Others may know more.
We are waiting to see when his clothing line will be available to international shoppers.
