Core Viewpoint - Kuaishou is undergoing a painful self-reconstruction due to regulatory pressures and operational chaos, despite achieving significant milestones like becoming the official partner of the 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala [4][9]. Group 1: Company Background and Evolution - Kuaishou started as a simple GIF tool in 2011, focusing on user-generated content without complex algorithms or commercialization goals, leading to steady user growth [11]. - The turning point came in 2013 with the addition of Suhua, establishing a dual-core structure with Cheng Yixiao, which allowed Kuaishou to thrive in the lower-tier market through a decentralized algorithm [11][13]. - The dual-core system initially provided balance but became a hindrance as competition intensified, leading to slower decision-making and missed opportunities compared to rivals like Douyin [13][14]. Group 2: Challenges and Regulatory Issues - Kuaishou faced significant regulatory penalties in early 2026, totaling over 145 million yuan, highlighting its ongoing compliance issues and operational shortcomings [7][8]. - The company has been criticized for its content governance, which has led to a reputation for low-quality and vulgar content, impacting its brand image [17][18]. - The reliance on top influencers for growth has created vulnerabilities, as seen in the Xinba incident, where the platform's dependence on a few key figures led to significant operational risks [18][19]. Group 3: Strategic Reforms and Future Directions - Cheng Yixiao has prioritized value restoration and ecological reform, tightening content standards and supporting positive content while reducing reliance on top influencers [19][20]. - The collaboration with the Spring Festival Gala represents a significant step towards mainstream acceptance, but the accompanying regulatory fines indicate that deeper issues remain unresolved [20][22]. - Kuaishou is leveraging AI to enhance content quality and distribution efficiency, aiming to build a more robust operational framework that aligns with regulatory expectations [23][24]. Group 4: Governance and Compliance - The historical issues of Kuaishou stem from its rapid growth phase, where compliance and safety measures were neglected, leading to significant regulatory scrutiny [25][26]. - Despite efforts to improve compliance and governance under Cheng Yixiao, the company still faces challenges in establishing a stable and transparent operational system [26][30]. - The duality of Kuaishou's public image—celebrated for its cultural contributions while simultaneously penalized for compliance failures—reflects the ongoing struggle to balance growth with responsibility [30][32].
