Inside a rented room, a fair-skinned and slightly plump girl was browsing Taobao out of sheer boredom.
She was selecting a suitable QQ uniform.
The girl's online persona was called Mengtao, a... minor internet celebrity on Weibo.
People like her often had a character for "door" in their Weibo bios, signaling to fans to join groups or add a V, indicating there's a threshold—to put it simply, you have to pay!
In simpler terms, you could see somewhat risqué photos of these people on Weibo.
If you paid, joined a group, or added a V, then you'd get to see subsequent... VIP content.
From a certain perspective, these edge-skating internet girls were indeed one of the primary consumer groups for QQ uniforms.
After all, they made a living by taking photos and videos, hence the need to keep changing outfits to keep their sugar daddies interested.
