>>1445684you're mistaken.
official dealings matter. if there's a concert or event the number of invites is limited. who gets the invite is who is a partner foremost. people who are business competitors and not even in any agreement are left out to dry. hence hololive isn't welcome are bilibili influenced events.
there's also bad taste in the mouth over the drama and exit so they aren't heavily influencing china still. this kinda thing is a fad and people just move onto the next one. it isn't like people got married to hololive and swore to never watch any other vtubers.
i haven't even checked, but it's certain the hololive tags are suppressed too so they won't be trending. like how twitter and youtube can manipulate trending stuff. bilbili certainly promotes stuff and picks winners who get on the front page.
this kinda stuff is legit business activity and competition. the spammers doing illegal stuff and harassment aren't the same as this and aren't even allowed on bilibili. hence there's no anti spammers in the comment section for the cooo video.
