Hit Chinese video streaming site Bilibili, once seen as a haven for subcultures like niche animation, has been making strides towards becoming a mainstream platform in recent years. But it is now facing a substantial backlash from some of its female users and brand partners, which accuse it of tolerating misogynistic content.Founded in 2009, Bilibili has evolved from an online hub for anime, comics, and games (ACG) content to a YouTube-esque service that also offers mobile games and live broadcasting. The company went from a little-known website to a platform dubbed “the nearest thing China has to YouTube.” The Nasdaq-listed platform had around 197 million monthly active users in the third quarter last year, an increase of more than 50% from 2019. Its revenue, around half of which comes from mobile gaming, also reached $475 million during the period.But with the expansion of the platform, its traditional focus on subcultures is causing trouble. The company has been under attack by feminists since it introduced popular Japanese cartoon Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasuor, or Jobless Reincarnation: I Will Seriously Try If I Go to Another World, to its platform in January. The cartoon is based on a novel by Japanese writer Rifujin…

YouTube, arguably the most popular streaming app for videos on the internet, has reportedly banned two songs linked to the ongoing farmers’ protests at the Delhi-Punjab-Haryana borders. The songs, Ailan and Asi Vaddange, were produced by Harjinder Laddi and sung by Kanwar Grewal and Himmat Sandhu, respectively, and had already raked up millions of views on YouTube, before they were seemingly banned by the service. In response, Laddi has claimed that he has received intimation from YouTube’s global headquarters in California that the ban has been imposed after an intervention by India’s central government. Speaking to The Wire, Laddi said, “I spoke with a few people at the YouTube headquarters in California to understand why this was done. They told me that an external intervention by the Government of India was made through a legal complaint saying that the song violates certain rules and policies laid down by the Indian government.” MySmartPrice could not independently verify the facts behind this claim, including what rules and policies were cited by the government to put this ban in effect. The alleged move puts focus on the power of social media and technology platforms today, and the role they play in major socio-political…

Re-Logic, the developer of popular action-adventure sandbox game Terraria, has said it’s cancelled the game’s planned Stadia port in retaliation for Google banning its YouTube channel “without explanation”.The independent developer first alerted fans to its conflict with Google last month, when it claimed that it had lost access to its YouTube channel and associated Gmail account and was struggling to receive an explanation from Google.According to Re-Logic, it received an email warning it of a service violation on its YouTube channel and soon after the entire associated Google was disabled. It had not uploaded a public video to YouTube for three months, it said.YouTube’s Twitter support account did reply to the Terraria developer in January, advising it to follow steps listed on its website. However, the developer claimed this didn’t help.Terraria’s developer has cancelled its Stadia port.The disabled Google account links into many of Re-Logic’s business functions and as such the impact to the company is quite substantial, it said.On Monday, founder Andrew Spinks claimed that after 3 weeks of attempting to resolve the issue he would cancel Terraria for Stadia because “I can take this no other way than you deciding to burn this bridge.”He wrote on Twitter: “@Google…

Feel the beat — Lo-fi hip-hop channels have created a community for minimalist escape. Jason Parham, wired.com - Feb 7, 2021 12:07 pm UTC Dion Lewis was trying to make the best out of a difficult situation. Last August, when a storm left his Chicago neighborhood without electricity for a week, he improvised. Lewis had recently created a YouTube page for tutorials about the various aspects of computer programming called Code Pioneers, and that first night, unable to record, he decided to gather his wife and daughter for some quality time. Together in their living room surrounded by flickering candles, the three of them sat listening to songs Lewis “previously downloaded to use as background music” in his video tutorials. They included tracks like RalphReal’s “Mix It Up” and “Wallflowers” by the Portland experimentalist musician Bad Snacks. The next morning, moved by what he’d heard, Lewis grabbed his DJ controller, headphones, and used “the last amount of power” in his laptop to make “Late Night Coding in Chicago”—a 32-minute stream of soothing lo-fi hip-hop songs and, to date, one of the most-watched videos on his YouTube page. As early comments on the post indicated, Lewis tapped into “something next-level.” The…

Former Blue Devil Zion Williamson is on a really dominant role. He’s averaging nearly 17 ppg in the lane and outperforming everyone in the NBA in that regard. JJ Redick commented on his teammate recently, saying that his favorite thing about Williamson is that he overwhelmingly scores with his dominant hand, his left. Basically no one has been able to stop him and the Pacers couldn't either. Williamson hit 10-14 against the Pacers earlier this week and continued his much-improved free throw shooting with 9-11, finishing with 29 points. There was one play that kind of stands out though. Williams attempted a dunk and while it didn't end well, as he missed it, he nonetheless managed to knock the rim out of place. A crew comes out to fix it and you can see them moving the level around, trying to make sure it’s flush. It’s not rim-breaking -that’s a lot harder to do than it used to be - but it’s another display of impressive power.

There are only a handful of Duke-UNC games that are named. There’s the Fred Lind game. The Gene Banks game. Last night we talked about the Chris Duhon game. Last year we had theTre Jones/Wendell Moore game as the two combined for one to remember. And tonight? Tonight we’re going to talk about the Austin Rivers game. In 2012, Duke was struggling in the Dean Dome and was down by 10, 82-72, with 2:20 to go. Then boom! Tyler Thornton hit a three. Boom! Seth Curry hit a long three. Harrison Barnes got called for a charge. Boom! With 1:05 left, Ryan Kelly, tormented all night by John Henson, hit a two. And just like that was a two point game. Tyler Zeller was fouled and missed the first, but made the second, putting UNC up 83-80. Then he accidentally tipped the ball in duke’s basket, making it 83-82 and setting the table for the final plays. Zeller got fouled immediately on the in-bounds and split again, giving Duke the ball back with 13.9 left. Mason Plumlee got the ball to Rivers who started right then went left and cut back right again. He ended up to the right of…
