Genshin Impact Ads 'Invade' Code:鳶 Super Topic? The Truth Behind the Auto-Reply Trigger

Recently, players posting in the 'Code:鳶' super topic on Weibo were surprised to see Genshin Impact advertisements popping up in their reply sections, causing quite a stir in the gaming community. Many initially suspected a cross-promotion stunt or intentional interference, but the community quickly uncovered the actual cause.

After some investigation, community sleuths realized this was simply a misunderstanding caused by emoji usage. With the latest version update, Weibo introduced a set of Genshin Impact character emojis. Using these specific emojis (such as Kirara, Yoimiya, or Yae Miko) triggers an automated ad reply from the platform's ad system. Commenters clarified: 'It’s just triggered by keywords; it's basic automated ad logic on Weibo.'

Many players expressed amusement, noting the irony that some users complain about the game while simultaneously using these emojis, which then forces the ads to appear. Some netizens mocked the situation, suggesting that since it's just a platform automated trigger, it might become a new way to 'fish' for unintentional ads to see what else shows up.
