虎嗅APP· 2025-06-05 14:24
Core Viewpoint - The acquisition of Hupu by Xunlei for 500 million RMB signifies the end of the BBS era in Chinese internet history, marking a shift from traditional forums to social media platforms [1][2][3]. Group 1: Acquisition Details - Hupu was acquired by Xunlei for 500 million RMB, excluding any shares in Dewu, indicating a relatively low valuation that surprised some observers [1]. - The future synergy between Xunlei and Hupu remains unclear, with no apparent strategies disclosed [1]. Group 2: Decline of BBS - BBS, once a central part of the internet experience for users from the late 20th century to the early 21st century, has seen a significant decline since the rise of blogs and social media around 2005 and 2010 [2][3]. - The decline of BBS is attributed to its inability to adapt to the mobile internet and the emergence of social media platforms that prioritize content creators over posts [4][5][6]. Group 3: Comparison with Social Media - The primary distinction between BBS and modern social media lies in content distribution; BBS operated on a relatively equal footing where posts gained visibility based on their presence on the homepage, unlike social media which focuses on creators and follower dynamics [4][5]. - Social media platforms have replaced the BBS model, utilizing algorithms and social connections for content distribution, leading to the obsolescence of the BBS format [5][6]. Group 4: Attempts at Revival - Despite attempts by companies like Tencent to revive BBS-like models through QQ Interest Groups and WeChat Circles, these efforts have largely failed, indicating a lack of interest in BBS-style platforms [8]. - The transition of creators from BBS to social media platforms is evident, as they seek better control over content distribution and monetization opportunities [7][8]. Group 5: Final Observations - The rise of short videos is often mistakenly viewed as the final blow to BBS; however, BBS had already been in decline long before the popularity of short video content [9]. - The concept of moderators in BBS has also faded, with creators now enjoying more freedom and less restrictive environments compared to the past [9].
