4. Pinduoduo waiter Love responded to "Watch Pinduoduo's Fighting"
On March 30, in response to the recent attacks on public opinion of self-media, Pinduoduo's "Second Pin Business Unit" waiter Love (ID: PDD Love) responded on Weibo that the incident was a self-media account that could be affected by the competitor's curve and posted a slander. The platform has been "dirty" many times before. Love believes that this is like in a school, "the class monitors of senior grades should not slander everywhere in order to prevent lower grade students from catching up." On March 23, the self-media "Uncle Ni's Thoughts Dark Time" published an article "Watching Pinduoduo's Anti-Counterfeiting". The article used three subtitles: "The nervous Pinduoduo", "The anxious Pinduoduo", and "The hesitant Pinduoduo" to question Pinduoduo's "Annual Report on Consumer Rights Protection (2019)". In response, Love said that because he was worried that the public's impression of Pinduoduo would improve, his competitors frequently "achieve commercial competitive advantage by distorting facts." However, mainstream formal media have basically seen through this trick in recent years. In order to continue to drag Pinduoduo into the quagmire of "fake counterfeit goods", the self-media matrix it can control is written by the self-media matrix to finally complete the blow.
