The company received feedback and complaints from users targeting Yuanbao, noting that its related LNY marketing activities involved inducing users to frequently share links to WeChat groups through "doing tasks" and "collecting red envelopes", disrupting the platform's ecological order, affecting user experience, and causing user harassment.

Upon evaluation, actions were taken against Yuanbao's violating links, restricting direct access within WeChat. These measures take effect immediately. The company will continue to monitor the operation of various LNY marketing activities, blending user feedback and platform rules to effectively ensure user experience.
