According to the report, the above app advertisement claims that watching news can earn pocket money. But in fact, high gold coins converted into cash, often only a few cents, and only accumulated to earn 30 yuan before withdrawal. Some apps also claim in their ads that "withdrawing more than ten yuan in five minutes after hanging up" can't be realized.
The report also pointed out that although such apps are known as news and information, there are many vulgar messages on the platform, such as' taotoutiao ', and some apps do not have Internet news qualifications. In addition, some apps also use various high rewards to encourage users to develop offline in the name of "apprenticeship" to attract more users.
