>>17088013China is a fucking quicksand trap that you cannot extract money from because all foreign business done in china has to be done by a chinese citizen owned company, and they take a massive cut out of anything you do.
Bilibili takes 50% right off the top, and then they have to pay the company thats running it in china for them plus chinese taxes, and then Cover takes its cut.
The chinese also make it incredibly hard to actually withdraw the money from china, with it taking up to 6 months to transfer money from a chinese bank to an international one with tons of fees and such even for businesses.
The girls saw pretty much no income from bilibili which is why none of them even tried to regularly stream there, they mostly stuck to very rare special occasion streams or restreams.
