- NetEase will provide creators with one billion RMB of subsidies, tens of billions of traffic, and hundreds of billions of exposure support. Creators with a large following and MCN organizations who join and post on the platform will receive rewards.
- NetEase will use AI technology to help creators improve their video content. The “Iceberg Think Tank” will use algorithms to help creators choose topics popular among viewers and develop scripts.
- NetEase will establish a “video creator rights system” to provide users with full support over the rights of their content. It will also launch one-to-one operational services with 24/7 response.
