On January 1st, the B-station (Shupao) Pan Opera Group released an official notice stating that, following a request from the copyright holder (TVX), non-paid users would now be required to watch at least one minute of pre-roll advertisements before accessing content, and these ads cannot be skipped. This change marks a shift in the platform's ad policy for free users.
Meanwhile, premium members and those who have subscribed to specific shows on B-station will continue to enjoy an ad-free experience while watching their favorite programs. The announcement highlights the ongoing efforts between the platform and content providers to balance user experience with revenue generation.
In a previous update on May 23, 2016, B-station had already introduced a 15-second pre-roll ad before dramas, as requested by TVX. However, after the initial advertising period ended, no new ad format was introduced until recently. In response to renewed demands from TVX, the platform has now mandated that all non-paid users must view a one-minute pre-roll ad without the option to skip it.
This move reflects the growing pressure on streaming platforms to monetize their services effectively, especially when dealing with high-value content. While it may inconvenience free users, it also ensures that content creators and rights holders are fairly compensated for their work. As more platforms adopt similar strategies, users may need to adapt to a more ad-heavy environment unless they opt for paid subscriptions.
