天涯社区的一项调查显示：68.5%的网民表示他们只是是单纯地热衷于围观看热闹。
“In normal circumstances Xiao Yueyue would be a loser. People get the same enjoyment reading about her abnormal behavior as they do watching Charlie Chaplin comedies,” said Jing Tiankui, a researcher at the Institute of Sociology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
中国社科院社会学研究院研究员景天逵（音译）说：“按照常理，小月月绝对不会取得成功。人们在阅读她雷人行为时，获得了与观看查理 卓别林喜剧时同样的乐趣。”
“Online sensations like Xiao Yueyue offend viewers’ sensibilities to the extent that they are provoked into condemning her behavior, calling her names and feeling morally superior,” Jing said.
景天逵（音译）说：“像小月月这样的网络轰动事件对看客们产生了很大的刺激，以致激发了人们批判小月月的雷人行径，谈论她的名字，确实获得了一种优越感。”
