Bilibili, often called “B站” by users, is one of the most popular video-sharing platforms in China. Originally started as a site for anime lovers, Bilibili has grown into a massive platform for all kinds of content—animation, games, music, vlogs, education, documentaries, and even live-streaming. For many young people in China, Bilibili is not just a website; it’s a community, a place to express themselves, connect with others, and be creative.

What makes Bilibili special is its unique “bullet comment” feature, where viewers can post real-time comments that scroll across the screen while a video is playing. This creates a feeling of watching with friends, even when you’re alone. It makes the experience more interactive and fun. The platform also encourages creativity. Many users upload their own original videos, and Bilibili supports them through creator programs, fan clubs, and rewards. These programs help motivate people to keep producing high-quality content and grow their fan base.

I personally enjoy watching videos about history and music on Bilibili. The content is fun, creative, and often very educational. Compared to other video platforms, Bilibili has a more positive and respectful comment section, where people share ideas and reactions instead of just arguing. The community feels close-knit, and people are proud to be “Bilibili users.”

To see how other students feel, I interviewed two students from Eleanor Roosevelt High School.

Chester Chen said, “I like how Bilibili has so many videos that I can’t find on YouTube. The bullet comments make it more fun and interactive. It feels like I’m part of something bigger.”

Jason Guo added, “It’s a cool place to learn stuff too. I’ve watched math tutorials and Chinese history documentaries on B站. It’s not just for entertainment—it helps me study.”

Bilibili stands out not only because of its wide content variety, but also because of its unique user culture. It shows how video platforms can be both fun and educational. With its mix of traditional Chinese elements and modern internet trends, Bilibili has created a digital space where creativity and community come together. Whether you’re into animation, science, games, lifestyle, or just want to laugh, Bilibili has something for you. It’s no wonder that more and more young people are choosing Bilibili as their favorite place to watch, learn, and connect.
