太毁人三观了…怪不得有句话说，在未来每个人都能成名十五分钟。这个年代只要你敢就能成为网红。

That’s quite disturbing in terms of ethics and values… no wonder there is that saying, everyone can be famous for fifteen minutes.
过去还停留在图片传播时期，网红大多是一些高颜值的俊男美女，当然还有一些是为了拍摄搏眼球图片而恶搞低俗的人。现在可不同了，网红已经成为社交媒体的话题人物、意见领袖、流行主力的统称了。

Previously we’d been stuck in the era of the spread of images, so the majority of Internet Stars were handsome men and pretty girls with cute faces. Of course there were a few vulgar pranksters that shot vulgar hoax images to attract attention. Now it is very different, internet stars have already become the talk of social media, opinion leaders, and are known as the leading lights of fashion.
