3. Why do people feel that there is no “lucky red envelope”?
1.Psychological effects:According to the survey, 87% of users only remember the experience of not grabbing a big red envelope, but selectively forget about small red envelopes. This negative preference results in the impression of “bad luck” being amplified.
2.Algorithm mechanism:Platform red envelope distribution usually uses a random algorithm, but technical experts point out that in order to prevent excessive concentration of resources, most systems will set an upper limit on the amount, resulting in a very low probability of "super large red envelopes".
3.The number of participants increased significantly:The number of participants in WeChat red envelopes during the 2023 Spring Festival reached 980 million, a year-on-year increase of 23%. With a larger denominator, the probability of an individual receiving a large red envelope decreases accordingly.

| 2023 | 1.5 yuan | Video red envelope/AR red envelope | marketing tools |

2. Adjust your participation mentality: treat grabbing red envelopes as an entertainment activity rather than a source of income, and focus on the process rather than the results.
3. Be wary of fraud risks: Recently, there have been many phishing links disguised as red envelopes, with 12,000 reports in a single day.
4. Innovative interactive methods: It is recommended to try new forms such as DIY voice red envelopes and knowledge red envelopes to return to the essence of emotional communication.
Conclusion: When we ask "Why are there no lucky red envelopes?", we are actually asking about interpersonal relationships and happiness in the digital age. Perhaps the real "luck" lies not in how many red envelopes you grab, but in retaining the ability to expect surprises and the original intention to share happiness.
