The Founder of YYeTs, Liang Liang, Apologizes and Deals with Related Issues
TapTechNews August 6th news, Liang Liang, the founder of YYeTs, released an apology video on social media on the evening of August 5th, apologizing to users and fans, and announcing the follow-up handling of YYeTs-related issues.
Liang Liang said in the video that YYeTs was built by himself and also ruined by himself. After three and a half years of education and reflection, he has realized his problems and mistakes, and apologized for the adverse effects he brought to everyone.
Liang Liang said that he has regained freedom for about a month, and he wanted to dispose of the previous hardware equipment, and sell it as second-hand to those in need. The hardware includes two i9 CPU hosts, 6 Dell R720 host servers, 20 8TB SAS hard drives, 56 6TB SAS hard drives, Dell MD1100 array cabinets, air conditioners for computer rooms, 10-gigabit optical port switches, enterprise-level routers, and so on.
All the data have been restored. Looking at these data, I also have mixed feelings in my heart. I have collected resources for more than ten years... It's a pity that I don't have the copyright myself, so I stared at the screen for a long time, and finally emptied all the data resolutely. Actually, these hardwares are not very useful, and now I want to dispose of them.
In addition, Liang Liang will update several videos in the future to tell how YYeTs was established, how it developed and grew, what kind of transformation it experienced in different periods, what choices were made, and why there was such a result and other contents. He will also release relevant contents of overseas TV dramas and movies later.
