Ku6 / 酷六

Ku6 / 酷六 appears in No.202 盛大的盛大，传奇的传奇 | 中国互联网故事20 as Shanda’s video-platform branch after the company moved beyond [[LegendOfMir|《传奇》]]. The episode describes a swap/merger route involving Shanda’s Huayou Century and Ku6, which made Ku6 one of the earlier listed Chinese video sites but did not prevent later losses and loss of relevance.

In the Shanda story, Ku6 is another example of early asset acquisition without durable platform integration. It belongs with [[ShandaBox|盛大盒子]], [[ShandaLiterature|盛大文学]], [[Haofang|浩方]], and [[Bianfeng|边锋]] as evidence of a broad but difficult entertainment-ecosystem ambition.
