2.Added paid features: Including "voice accompaniment" and "exclusive tree hole" services, there are more than 2,000 related questions and answers on Zhihu, with an approval and disapproval ratio of 3:2.
3.Algorithm recommendation changes: Users discovered that the matching mechanism has shifted from interest-based to location-based, and Douyin-related videos have been played more than 80 million times.
3. Comparison of actions of competing products during the same period

| Heartfelt encounter | Add video chat | +12% | May 20 |
| Soul | Optimized matching algorithm | +5% | May 25 |
| Tantan | Member privilege upgrade | -3% | May 28 |
4. Official response and user expectations
The Night Chat team issued a statement on the official account on May 30, saying that the revision was to improve social efficiency, but promised to optimize the following three points:
1. Restore quick access to frequently used functions
2. Add free basic interactive functions
3. Personalization options will be launched in mid-June
5. Opinions of Industry Experts
Internet analyst Zhang Ming pointed out: "In an industry context where the monthly activity of social software has dropped by 1.8%, it is of strategic significance to increase the paid conversion of Night Chat, but it needs to balance commercialization and user experience."
Psychology expert Li Wen warned: "In nighttime social scenes, sudden interface changes will aggravate users' loneliness. It is recommended to use progressive updates."
6. Forecast of future trends
Judging from the Baidu Index, the search popularity of "Night Chat Revision" is still growing at a daily rate of 15%, and the discussion is expected to continue until mid-June. According to user portrait data, the 25-30 year old group has the highest acceptance of the new version, while users over the age of 35 have a strong willingness to return to the old version.
This revision crisis reflects three deep-seated problems:
1. The problem of balancing the commercialization and user experience of social products
2. Generation Z is highly sensitive to social product iterations
3. Competition in the night economy track has entered the stage of refined operations
Whether the Night Chat team can quickly respond to feedback in the next two weeks will be the key to determining the success or failure of this revision. We will continue to pay attention to the development of the situation and bring the latest reports.
