>tell me what chinese social media says about <brand> today, cheapest platform first by unit price, and show what each platform actually cost
“cheapest platform first”Weibo, Bilibili and Zhihu are $0.0015; Douyin, Xiaohongshu and WeChat are ten times that
“check the board before the feeds”if the hot-search board has nothing, the expensive searches can wait
“rank Douyin by shares”Douyin returns play_count 0, so shares and collects are the traffic proxy
“cost per platform”the receipt ends up in the file
