Up until a couple of days ago “Your Highness Qiao Biluo” was a popular blogger in China, with 100,000 followers on the live streaming site Douyu. She appeared as a stylish young woman. But a technical glitch removed the filter she’d been using, revealing her to be much older than her filter made her look.
From Oddity Central:
Your Highness Qiao Biluo stopped streaming right after the now famous glitch, but the scandal only made her more popular. Her currently inactive Douyu account has over 650,000 followers, compared to around 100,000 before the incident, and the 58-year-old is already making plans for a comeback. She’s started taking advertisements for beauty cameras like the one she used to fool her followers, and is planning to launch a music video.
This makes me think that the technical glitch might not be an accident, but a carefully thought out strategy. Her Douyu account is on hold, but her subscriber account has lept to 650,000.
