彪哥

just did a little more research on 彪哥 w ai, this is what i got: • already a huge douyin dog before today, 2m+ followers / ~80m likes • had actual lore + recurring memes, especially the sunglasses / popsicle videos • one popsicle video did ~1.36m likes + 235k shares • now people are flooding the old videos to say goodbye, so the happy content is basically becoming memorial content • rn the attention still seems mostly social-native: douyin, weibo, reposts, livestream clips. hasn’t really broken into major chinese media yet • crypto is catching an already existing meme / audience, not creating one from scratch fud: • exact details around the death / poisoning still aren’t fully verified • could stay contained to his existing fanbase instead of becoming a china-wide story • tragedy attention can burn very hot but very fast • copycoins can split attention/liquidity • if mainstream media never picks it up, this could already be close to peak social attention basically feels very real, very early in the news cycle, but still mostly a social media story rn
