Status note: This case study reflects the 2024–2025 wave of AI content monetization on Chinese social platforms. As of late 2026 this niche is largely saturated: entry-level versions of the format are mass-produced, distribution thresholds have risen, and the numbers cited reflect an earlier window. The durable takeaways are the workflow itself — topic selection, batch production with human review, consistent publishing — which still apply to whichever niche is under-served today.
