The well-known developer website "Blog Garden" issued an announcement on May 5 saying: Commercialization Efforts - Seeking Help in Difficulties: Open a donation channel, and provide WeChat, Alipay, and public account donation channels. Even a site this large is asking for donations, and it looks like the reality is worse than imagined.
Blog Park said:
Before finding a business model that matches the value of the garden or finding investors willing to support the commercialization of the garden, the garden will continue to be in a difficult stage. In order to alleviate the financial difficulties during this period, we have opened a donation channel. The recipient of the donation is Hangzhou Yuyuan Technology Co., Ltd., and the donation fee received will be used for the daily operation and R&D investment of the garden.
**Blog Garden is an old-fashioned programmer community, established in 2004. **It is very well-known in the website era, and Lu Songsong is also a loyal user of Blog Garden. And because of the high weight of Baidu and Google in the blog garden, many webmasters posted external links in the blog garden to make weight. Although this is not an honorable thing, it is enough to show that the blog garden has a very high weight.
And in April, Blog Garden released the collection "Yuanzi's Commercialization Efforts", one of the articles wrote:
A crisis in 2021 brought a surprise attack on the garden that he never dreamed of, leaving the garden in a mess.
The double predicament in 2022 will add bad weather to the garden after the storm, and will not give the garden a chance to breathe.
The difficult start of 2023 has put Yuanzi in a desperate situation where he cannot see the rainbow after the rain, forcing Yuanzi to stand up and attack.
This year is a year of life and death for the commercialization of Yuanzi. We will strive to explore in the direction of commercialization that we recognize, go all out to find a way out for the commercialization of Yuanzi, and start a new stage of modernization and upgrading of Yuanzi.
There are 3 commercialization efforts currently underway:
1) IT talent overseas service
2) VIP membership service: mainly to provide value-added functions for newly developed products that are not commonly used, such as the synchronization function of github and blog.
3) Cloud Market Boutique: Cooperating with Alibaba Cloud Cloud Market, it is expected to be launched in May.
Write at the end:
**Starting from 2021, the IT industry will decline rapidly, and there is currently no sign of improvement. ** Coupled with the decline of all walks of life, especially the decline of the website industry, many large and medium-sized vertical websites are extremely difficult to survive, and even the Tianya community cannot be opened. It seems... the days to come will become more and more difficult...
