Chinese Blogger Arrested After Offering Free Sex To Her Followers

The golden age of blogging has already come and gone. At one point in the history of the internet, it was possible for someone to earn a living by having a well-made website where they posted their personal thoughts and opinions. However, since the advent of social media things have changed.

The infinite monkey theorem implies a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter could eventually complete the works of Shakespeare given an infinite amount of time. Similarly, the millions of people using social media generate so much content that it’s almost impossible for an individual to compete. While there are certainly a few exceptions, the average blogger’s content is no match for the creativity of the collective masses.

Unless they start offering to have sex with readers. That would probably work.

This is the tactic one Chinese blogger used. Looking to make a name for herself on a crowded social media landscape, the 19-year-old promoted her brand by publishing the number of the hotel room she was staying in while offering sex to any of her followers that showed up. When nearly 3,000 people crowded the hotel’s hallways it caused quite a commotion.

Those are some pretty impressive user engagement numbers.

By the time police made it to the hotel to shutdown any fun from being had, the blogger had already checked herself out. Unfortunately, since she was identified on both her own blog and hotel records she was promptly found and arrested for prostitution. Hopefully she won’t be sentenced to any hard labor.

Years ago we read about a Chinese performance artist who engaged in live sex for the sake of his art. After footage of the Avant Garde performance went viral the man was arrested and sentenced to a year of hard labor in a “re-education camp.” In this case the artist was already well known as a troublemaker and explicitly setout to challenge China’s strict public decency law, and the law won.

For merely offering to have sex with a couple of her social media followers, the 19-year-old internet personality was slapped with a 15-day jail sentence and a fine of roughly $70. Apart from her accounts being suspended, the stunt was probably worth it for the media exposure.
