Why I Built This
Three days, account banned. Article deleted. No explanation.
Not because I did anything wrong. Because I said something they didn’t like.
I’ve watched genuinely valuable content disappear overnight because of two words: “sensitive topic.” I’ve watched serious creators twist themselves into knots chasing algorithms, until they no longer recognized their own voice. I’ve watched influential writers and streamers bow their heads to platforms, because everything they built sits on someone else’s foundation.
That’s not creating. That’s renting.
But this isn’t just my problem.
There are billions of creators around the world, every day handing their best work to platforms. Platforms use that content to sell ads, harvest data, and build billion-dollar valuations. What do creators get? Traffic. Given by the algorithm. Taken away by the algorithm.
This is systematic extraction. Slow enough that most people don’t notice until it’s too late.
In China it’s especially visible. WeChat, Douyin, Weibo, Bilibili — these platforms control distribution. They decide who gets seen and who gets silenced. Your content is yours, but whether it survives is their decision. People are angry but say nothing, because they believe leaving the platform means losing everything.
That’s exactly what the platforms want you to believe.
The truth is: the content is yours. The audience you built is yours. The trust you earned, word by word, is yours. Platforms are channels, not foundations.
When the channel becomes a cage, you change the channel. You don’t go silent.
Real creation shouldn’t feel like walking on eggshells. Shouldn’t require asking “is this allowed?” before every sentence. Shouldn’t mean optimizing for what the algorithm rewards instead of what’s true.
So I spent a long time moving my content to my own place.
My website. My server. My stream. Once something is published, no one can delete it.
Then I thought: this shouldn’t be something only I do.
So I open-sourced the whole setup. It’s called chaosgrok-kit.
You don’t need to know how to code. You don’t need to be famous. You just need something to say and somewhere to keep it.
If platforms want your content, let them connect to your feed. You don’t need to go begging at their door.
Every person who builds their own place is one less node the platforms control. Distributed voices. Distributed infrastructure. The monopoly shrinks, one creator at a time.
This is your ground. No one gets to delete it.
Before I graduated, I picked a fight with my police academy. Now I’m picking a fight with the platforms.
Whether I win or lose is a separate question. First you fight.
I have no team. No supply line. No backing. Just one person who refuses to accept that platforms get to bully creators into silence.
To every programmer, every builder, every individual out there — help me. Help us.
The whole world is our depth.
我为什么要自己建一套东西
三天两头被微信封号,文章被删,没有任何解释。
不是因为我做错了什么。是因为我说了他们不喜欢的话。
我见过真正有价值的内容因为”敏感”两个字消失得无影无踪。我见过认真创作的人为了流量不断迎合算法,最后连自己都不认识了。我见过大主播、大作家在平台面前低着头夹着尾巴,因为他们的一切都建立在别人的地基上。
这不是创作,这是租房住。
但这不只是我一个人的问题。
全球有数以亿计的创作者,每天把最好的内容交给平台。平台用这些内容赚钱,卖广告,做数据,估值千亿。创作者拿到什么?流量。算法给的,算法也可以拿走。
这是一种系统性的掠夺,温水煮青蛙。
在中国尤其明显。微信、抖音、微博、B站——这些平台手握分发权,决定谁被看见,谁被屏蔽。你的内容是你写的,但能不能活着,由它们说了算。敢怒不敢言,因为离开平台你什么都不是。或者你以为你什么都不是。
这是它们想让你相信的。
事实是:内容是你的。受众是你建立的。影响力是你一个字一个字积累的。平台只是渠道,不是根基。
当渠道变成枷锁,该换渠道,不是该闭嘴。
真正的创作不应该提心吊胆。不应该考虑”这句话可不可以说”。不应该在发布之前先想”平台喜不喜欢”。
所以我花了很长时间,把自己的内容搬到自己的地方。
网站是我的。服务器是我的。直播是我的。内容发出去那一刻,没有任何人可以删掉它。
然后我想,这件事不应该只有我一个人做。
所以我把这套东西开源了,叫 chaosgrok-kit。
不需要你懂代码。不需要你有名气。只需要你有话想说,有内容想留下来。
平台想要你的内容,让它们来接你的接口。你不需要去求它们。
分散的节点,分散的声音。每一个人建立自己的地盘,大平台的垄断就少一分。这不是技术问题,是每个创作者都能做的选择。
这是你的地盘。没有人可以删掉它。
毕业之前和警校干了一仗,现在要和各大平台干一仗。打得过打不过是两码事,先打再说。
我一个人势单力薄,没有队友,没有补给线,没有团队。但我不能忍受平台霸凌。
所有程序员、天才、个人——助我,助我们。
世界就是我们的纵深。
