The Nobel Prize award ceremony begins at 4 p.m. in Stockholm, which is 11 p.m. Beijing time.
Merlin began to appear at approximately 4:45.
In just ten minutes, the number of viewers on YouTube's live stream skyrocketed from less than 50,000 to 2 million.
It's true that the Nobel Prize is very prestigious, but most people don't pay special attention to it.
Therefore, the annual live stream's popularity is even less than that of some small and medium-sized streamers.
"We tried everything we could, but we couldn't cut off the live broadcast of the Nobel Prize award ceremony."
And we don't know when it started, but the five-minute delay we set disappeared, and now it's a live stream.
People are constantly flooding into the live stream room; the actual number has already reached over one million and is still growing explosively.
"magic, merlin, Nobel Prize, and amazing are rapidly climbing the Twitter charts. If we don't impose restrictions, the number of viewers for the live stream will probably exceed five million!"
"Oh shit! The only way to block access from external IP addresses is to restrict access by IP address."
"Sorry, we've tried this method, but it didn't work. Even if we enable traffic restrictions on the server side to limit access from all other IPs, we still can't prevent outsiders from seeing the live stream."
"Oh, damn it, sorry, not Merlin, but this damn mission. We can't even control the subdomains of our own domain?"
Okay, I guess that won't work either.
The two fell silent for a moment, then fifteen seconds later:
"I just received orders from above to shut down YouTube's servers and shut down that damn livestream at its source."
The Nobel Prize award ceremony was also simultaneously broadcast on major platforms such as Facebook, Twitch, and orgflix.
Yes, Facebook also has a live streaming function.
If these platforms are included, the number of people watching the live stream in real time has exceeded ten million.
The once all-powerful internet giants are now helpless against such a small IP address.
Shutting down the server did not prevent users from watching the live stream.
However, the only obstacle for onlookers around the world is that they cannot log in to the main YouTube channel and access the live stream of the Nobel Prize award ceremony through the search function.
Fortunately, I was able to access the live stream and watch it through a website link shared by someone else.
Shutting down the server cannot stop the explosive growth in viewership; it only makes the curve less abrupt.
Not only America, but also the Europa League and Japan are frantically contacting audience members in concert halls through various channels, hoping they will find the cameras and turn them off.
After finally turning it off, I found that a clearer playback source made the effect even better; I could even see the expressions of the award winners in the front row on stage.
On a certain Chinese platform, a previously low-profile content creator who focused on knowledge-related topics decided to take advantage of the opportunity to livestream the Nobel Prize award ceremony in Stockholm and ride the wave of Nobel Prize popularity.
However, the number of viewers was surprisingly small, and there were no Chinese or Chinese-descent award winners, so people weren't very interested.
The number of viewers is just over a thousand. Foreign platforms use the number of viewers, while only Chinese live streaming platforms use the number of viewers.
He thought he wouldn't get any attention, but the amount of attention he received far exceeded his expectations, with viewership surpassing 100 million.
The popularity he gained from this was so great that the small content creator was even scared.
The website's backend asked him to shut it down, but he found he couldn't. Since no other internet company on Earth could do that, this website clearly couldn't either.
The bullet comments in China are significantly more abundant than those in foreign countries, where most platforms only have one bullet comment:
“ohhhhhhhh”
The bullet comments in China are much more diverse:
"Is the uploader streaming a movie? What's the name of this movie? It looks quite interesting, but the formula is a bit old."
"The set design is great, and the actors in the back are really good at making expressions."
"It's true, the internet is buzzing about it, and all platforms are live-streaming it."
The viewers who initially flocked in thought it was a joke, as the title and the video didn't match. They didn't know why the video suddenly became so popular and was featured on the homepage.
As more and more people pointed out that this was the real Nobel Prize award ceremony, and that the scene changed when platforms such as YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook were broadcasting it live.
"My mom asked me why I was kneeling while watching the live stream."
Holy crap!
"Come see God"
"Magic really exists? But why didn't I receive an acceptance letter? I'm a Muggle!"
"Where is the magic academy in China? I'd even be willing to work as a dormitory supervisor!"
"These past few years have truly been eye-opening. Things I never dared to imagine before have been happening one after another. Today, even magicians have appeared. If someone comes out and tells me in a few days that cultivating immortality in China is real, I'll believe it."
Are magicians in China Taoist priests?
When Zheng Li lightly waved the wooden stick in his hand, and a group of men in black were swept away by the void and fell to the ground, the barrage of comments went even more frantically.
The new playback source has such realistic shooting effects that it's even more high-quality than the latest Hollywood blockbusters.
"So cool!"
"Is this the romance of a mage?"
No one can stop me from learning magic.
