Chinese video platform Bilibili is going global to challenge Youtube
The China-centric video sharing platform is expanding with a new international app and an English version of its website – with no identity verification (for now at least)

If they actually have age divided portions of their platform, where adults are free to make adult content such as history, reviews of hentai, and so forth, I am all for it. Youtube sucks because it doesn’t treat the audience or creators as adults, and often changes the rules at the drop of a hat.
Personally, I am guessing it will fall to Peertube and other fediverse platforms to offer genuine freedom for people, but I wouldn’t complain if Bili breaks the camel’s back known as Youtube.

I thought China has extremely strict porn laws and laws censoring gory content, I’d expect it to be even worse in that regard. PeerTube and Odysee seem the most promising right now
Porn is illegal in China in any form. That’s why their social media is 90% softcore porn of girls “testing workout equipment”. I’m not even kidding, until you train your algo to ignore this almost all content is softcore porn bait and not even social media. Even e-commerce is just porn now lol
Oh or the NPC streams? Those are weird, yo.

From what I’ve seen, you can avoid the gore issues by desaturating the gory image or part of the video. The porn thing is true, women will use image stickers, mosaics or other obscuring methods to cover up even small amounts of cleavage, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t thirst trap content, it just looks a little different.
That just doesn’t have a big impact on the content I actually want to see, so I don’t really mind it.
