Podcast Bilibili

Bilibili and Participatory Democracy

Our words are the bullets, and bilibili is our gun! In this episode of Media Nouveau, we introduce a unique video-sharing website called “bilibili” that features a special “bullet comment system” — comments appearing or moving as a stream of bullets on the video playback screen.

And what is its implication of our contemporary new media environment? Find the answers in our podcast!
