[Sounds pretty reasonable~!]

[I get it, yet somehow I don't fully understand!]

[What if the fish don't listen to us? Or in other words, how can we make the fish obey and eat the bait according to our wishes?]

[Haha, the brother upstairs must be a total goof, if the fish don't listen, just stir the water! Don't let it get away with it!]

[Don't listen, stir the water +1, let the fish taste the cruelty of the world too!]

...

Zhang Yang glanced at the public chat and instantly felt unwell.

This bunch of viewers create memes with such high efficiency, in a blink, it's at a legendary level, leaving Zhang Yang in disbelief, calling it an eyesore.

"Uh, 'not listening, stir the water' is just a meme, don't take it seriously! It's not practical in actual fishing! An angler's bridge with the fish in the water is the bait!

Most common freshwater fish are very basic aquatic cold-blooded vertebrates,

they are not as smart as everyone thinks; all their habits follow their innate genes and acquired reflexes.

When they're hungry, they look for food, and when they find something edible, they'll come to the nest! As long as the fish are healthy, this principle holds anywhere!

Now circling back to the topic at hand, how do we make fish obedient?

Actually, all the talk about rhythm earlier is preparation to make the fish listen!

Setting the nest is to let the fish find food and enter the fishing spot, and maintaining frequency continuously fills and spreads bait to attract fish to the nest.

Fish not biting is what ordinary anglers call 'disobedient,' fundamentally, it's either there's not enough density in the nest or the fish's condition is not right!

Like now in our fishing spot, the fish group density is relatively stable, some fish are attracted to the nest, and some are continually hooked; this keeps the efficiency of catching fish balanced.

Every time you cast and the rod enters the water, the timing of the fish bite and the hooking interval are pretty consistent, we call this having 'smoothened out the fish bite'!"

[Whoa, listening to that was an eye-opener!]

[Got it, got it! I understand now! Thanks, host!]

[One true sentence, versus fake volumes of books! Thumbs up to the host!]

Zhang Yang turned the camera and grinned at everyone: "Haha, it's awesome that everyone can learn something while being entertained watching the live stream! That's time well spent in the live room!

By the way, since our little class was educational, shouldn't everyone give a follow, and click that little red heart!

Help out, folks, in five minutes, I'll draw another round of freebies based on the red heart data!

Now, let's get into action mode, click those little red hearts and follow!"

The viewers were excited just hearing the content, and when the host asked them to click the red heart, they couldn't help but go wild!

The numbers of red hearts on the live stream screen skyrocketed, in the blink of an eye, it jumped from over twenty thousand to thirty-five thousand, Zhang Yang didn't call for a stop, and the growth speed stayed exaggerated.

Five minutes later, the red hearts in the live stream shot past a hundred and fifty thousand! The room's popularity also escalated another level.

Seeing this, some who don't watch the stream might wonder what clicking the red heart is for.

Just a simple explanation here, it's a straightforward metric; red hearts are accumulated automatically through double-tapping the screen, representing how much the audience approves and supports the live room.

A high number of hearts, aside from visibly showing the room is lively, is also a method for the platform's algorithm to sift out quality live streams for increased exposure.

There are limited spots on the platform's homepage for display, so they can't feature all live rooms; who gets to be showcased, and who doesn't?

Setting aside the artificial arrangements for contracted hosts' recommendations and exposure, this red heart number is a crucial parameter.

For example, Zhang Yang's current fifteen thousand red hearts triggered a mini recommendation display for first-time hosts, placing an automatic promotion link for his live room at an inconspicuous spot at the bottom of the platform's homepage.

Zhang Yang, although familiar with the broader development trends of live stream software, isn't adept at the finer functions.

This leads to him focusing mainly on asking for follows during streaming, and it's only been three hours into the live, yet it's his first time asking viewers to click hearts.

But the benefits of triggering the platform's display are evident; the live stream's traffic quickly sees a substantial increase.

Zhang Yang had clearly stated in the live room's name: Wild Fishing Lake Fishing Debut, with a cover photo of someone holding a large fish.

The cover and room name have strong vertical alignment, so almost anyone clicking in is likely an outdoor fishing enthusiast,

and driven by the creative 'HD Watch the Float,' a unique live effect at this stage, viewers who come in to watch fishing rarely swipe away casually.

Five minutes later, the second round of free giveaways happened as promised, Zhang Yang did another live screenshot and followed, gaining over five hundred new fans.

Looking at the soaring fan count backend, Zhang Yang's heart is in a state of joyous frenzy!

There's a saying on the internet that at the wind's peak, even a pig can fly!

That's exactly how Zhang Yang feels now.

In a past life when he belatedly tried live streaming, audiences were sparse, and platform traffic was absorbed by big-name streamers into their rooms!

Professional organizations once roughly calculated the cost of gaining fans after the mid-phase stabilization in the live streaming industry; taking outdoor fishing as an example, the cost per active fan is about five to eight yuan!

And now? Zhang Yang, just at his debut stream, has unknowingly increased his fan count to over nine thousand, and in less than another hour, he'll surpass ten thousand!
