Another question for clarification, is what contract is bilibili referring too? Is Lex Burner a paid personality of bilibili to some degree? Or is it a normal Terms of Service relationship between the Streamer and the Streaming service? The use of the word "contract" seems to indicate it was an actual contract between the two. Or it could be a translation error.

When you bite the hand that feeds you, it can be quite costly.


Lex-Burner has 9.53 million fans before the incident happens (to backlash his fan count has dropped to 8.2 million before temporary suspension) . By having million fans on their site, Bilibili usually those streamers a "exclusive" contract offer so they would promise only streaming or posting video on their site, instead of on all platforms. The contract, of course, also includes terms that clearly state NOT to conduct anything that would cause harm the company's reputation or financial well-being, thus it was viewed as a breach of contract.

So yes, for having million fans on Bilibili-site, you are seen as a exclusive contractor (not employee, even by USA standards)

I guess the trend of anti Shonen Jump Weekly clickbait posting isn't just limited to Youtube. You would think it would be thanks to the awful ad algorithm
