Creator Trust Advertising / 创作者信任广告

Creator Trust Advertising describes the advertising tension the source surfaces through Bilibili / 哔哩哔哩. In No.214 寻找同类:小红书、bilibili,以及五花八门的那些社区 | 中国互联网故事 26, the no-forced-pre-roll debate turns on whether the platform should sell standardized attention inventory or preserve the more flexible trust between UP creators and viewers.

The source does not claim creator-read ads are frictionless. It explicitly notes that sponsorship income can concentrate among head creators and leave mid-tail creators with unstable income. The concept is therefore a tradeoff: platform-level ads can distribute revenue more systematically, while creator-native ads can preserve more audience control and community tone.

Key Claims

  • Advertising format can signal who owns the viewing experience: platform, creator, advertiser, or viewer.
  • Forced pre-roll may be economically simple but can damage a community’s browsing rhythm and trust identity.
  • Creator sponsorship can feel more native and skippable, but it can also produce winner-take-most income distribution.
  • The concept belongs to Online Community Commercialization Friction / 社区商业化摩擦 because revenue design becomes community-governance design.
