Abstract

The day June 26, 2022 marks the 13th anniversary of the birth of the Bilibili, a website with videos and bullet comments. The video platform, born as a platform for the content of anime, comics, and games, has completed a successful attempt to break the circle in a unique way. Its new features are fully reflected in the videos of uploaders. This has enabled Bilibili to expand its user base, gain more social recognition, and achieve higher commercial value, breaking the labels of “minority” and “fragmented” given by previous researchers. However, under this trend, some shortcomings have been exposed in the process of platform development, such as the problem of pan-entertainment and the lack of ideological guidance and supervision. This paper analysed the relevant data from the perspective of mass communication. Regarding the changing trend of the video hotspots on Bilibili, the research found that the old content persists while and the new content is going through a significant de-labelling process. Meanwhile, the subcultures and mainstream culture intermingle with and promote each other. Finally, this research proposed suggestions for the problems in this process by combining the feedback from some users. It is to provide some effective references for studying the future video dissemination practice of this website.
