Bilibili Cancels Playback Duration Index Revision, Announces Future Improvements

TapTechNews May 22nd news, the person in charge of the Bilibili community and products, Fang Fang (ID: Yun Wujisama), issued a post today to apologize to users, stating that the team has decided to cancel the revised version of the external display of the playback duration index, and also said that in the current recommendation algorithm, the playback duration has become a very important statistical factor.

A year ago, we were preparing to launch the playback duration index, and I was the person in charge of this project. This project, in fact, was not delayed for too long, but was done too quickly. I remember that at this time last year, the team had already made preparations for going online and just waited for the official announcement.

This is something that needs to be accepted and understood by the outside world. We were too confident about this. Before Bilibili, there is no platform and product in the world that counts by duration. Why can we do it?

TapTechNews previously reported that on June 26th last year, Chen Rui, the chairman and CEO of Bilibili, said in the 14th anniversary live broadcast that Bilibili will count the number of playback minutes and replace the number of playbacks as the external display data to give users a better reference, and "plans to complete the product update in the next few weeks".
