The Chinese internet (intranet) is a cesspool with no useful information: using vaccine injection info search as an example

I need to get a vaccine injection and want to avoid muscle and shoulder joint injuries caused by the injection, so I searched online for precautions. The Simplified Chinese results are all junk information (incorrect and/or low signal‑to‑noise ratio), even though I used Google.

Traditional Chinese is the same:

One of the images in that article is completely wrong:

Error 1: You should never pull the shirt down from the neck to expose the deltoid; instead, you should remove the outer clothing and roll up the sleeves.
Error 2: The injection should be administered perpendicular to the injection site.

Finally, using Google with the following keyword gave satisfactory results:
vaccine location too low

The top result is:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6347325

There are many medical terms related to the body, but the key is actually a single image:

The Chinese internet has become polluted; taking CS as an example, I have to use CSDN every time I look something up :sweat_smile:

I have summarized a life‑saving rule: do not look at any Chinese platforms (not limited to but including Jianshu, Juejin, CSDN, Alibaba Cloud/Tencent Cloud/Huawei Cloud community/documentation, 360DOC (this is 100% a content farm + mobile access redirects you to malicious sites on WeChat/JD), cnblogs (Blog Garden) is a bit better) for technical content that is written, copied, or AI‑generated. For English, steer clear of medium.com, especially avoid dev.to.

You might initially think these are quick to read, seem profitable, but after suffering losses you’ll understand that you shouldn’t even touch them.

Speaking of which, did Juejin do something to offend Baidu? I can’t even find it on Baidu :mingyao:

Do not spread negative information about the United States; college students should actively guide public opinion towards a positive direction.

Narrow-minded, small-hearted, and mentally flawed people see everything in a negative light.

If you think it’s not good, go build our country’s internet instead of attacking here without reason. Our internet has been the result of generations of researchers’ hard work. The United States’ internet has broad coverage and fast speeds, making it world‑leading.

Recently the H1N1 flu is a bit scary; simply spend ¥118 to get a flu vaccine.
