"AV number guides the way", "seeking XXX drama AV number"... Many years later, users of station B will be confused when they see this statement, because from March 23, the AV number will be upgraded to "BV number ", the original fixed number of the video on the site is replaced by a randomly generated character string.
is placed on other platforms, and the change of the numbering rules is not worth mentioning at all. There is no need to solemnly post announcements and explain posters, but B station is different. To borrow the words of users, "AV number changes to BV No, my youth is over". Isn't
just a string of numbers, as for?
comes from the evil taste of the second dimension
Users who are not familiar with station B, when they see the term "AV number" for the first time, they may think that this is an indescribable website, and they may be shocked why people can mention it openly The word that should have been harmonized.
Of course, this AV is not that AV, it originated from the domain name of the early video storage server of Station B: acgvideo.com, AV is the abbreviation of "ACG video". Setting up the video number is generally recognized as following the example of NICONICO, the ancestor of the barrage website, Japan.
It's hard to say that AV doesn't have a bad taste, after all, the video number of NICONICO is called "SM". Over time, using numbers as work IDs seems to have become a common practice for two-dimensional websites, such as the well-known two-dimensional illustration exchange station P (Pixiv), and the D station (Dilidili), which is rich in pirated animation resources, all adopt the same approach.
I don’t know if it’s to reduce people’s negative associations. The “AV number” often appears in lowercase “av” in station B, but in this announcement, the official use is still in uppercase.
AV number is composed of pure numbers, which is equivalent to the identity number of each video. Therefore, directly entering the AV number in station B or adding "/AV number" after www.bilibili.com can also directly access the corresponding video. Therefore, when sharing videos at station B, you usually only need to throw out the AV number. Some videos are too classic, and their AV numbers have even become a stalk for netizens to keep screens, such as the famous song AV170001 of the Bulgarian Demon King. The size of
AV number usually also reflects the age when the video was uploaded. For example, AV1 is the first video "Green Dam Green Dam River Crab Your Family!" uploaded by the founder Xu Yi (⑨bishi). According to the archaeology of netizens, AV1 was later changed to an announcement Collection, but this URL is currently unavailable. AV2 is a collection of pictures called "Subtitle Jun Exchange Place", which still attracts countless users to "archeology".
▲ The classic AV2 has been replaced by BV
It can be said that the AV number itself is an important part of the B station culture, carrying the user’s sense of identity, but why was it suddenly abandoned? One of the reasons given by
B station no longer enclosing Zimeng
B station is to accommodate more submissions. The
AV number has been expanded to 8 digits before it was changed to the BV number. In fact, many years ago, some users asked "What should I do if the AV number is not enough?" When it comes to a magical learning website, the purely digital AV number does have limitations, and upgrading is imperative, just like IPv6 is used after the global IPv4 address is allocated.
As for the reasons for "protecting the security of manuscripts", the official did not elaborate. The generally accepted view on the Internet is that randomly generated BV numbers can prevent reptiles and block some downloaders. Algorithm, it seems that the BV number is not randomly generated as the official claims, and the effect of blocking crawlers is limited.
As we said earlier, the AV number reflects the age of the video to a certain extent, so some people speculate that B abandoned the AV number in order not to expose the number of his videos to competitors. Furthermore, BVThe name of the number has also been unified with station B, which solves cold knowledge problems such as "Why is the video number of station B called AV number?"
But in the eyes of ordinary users, the reason for changing AV to BV is much simpler.
"If you don't change it anymore, I guess you have to buy tea for pornographic sweeping." Xiao Y, a senior user at station B, said, "Imagine, the fan group of station B posts 800 AVs a day, and the relevant departments don't check it?"
This This guess is not unreasonable. After all, AV is a masked word on many platforms. Since others can’t say it, there seems to be no reason for station B to be an exception.
But for users, changing the AV number to BV number is not just as simple as changing the ID length. The BV number composed of case-sensitive letters + numbers obviously increases the difficulty of memory. It is not only inconvenient to use, but also not conducive to sharing and dissemination outside the site. For example, some platforms that prohibit external links can use the AV number to guide the way in the past. Now changing to a BV number that looks like garbled characters may dissuade some users who originally intended to watch it. If
can’t understand the inconvenience caused by the BV number, you can refer to the description of Zhihu user zacharyhans:
Before:
– I found a sand sculpture video, the av number is 170001
-hhhhh real sand sculpture
now:
-I found a sand sculpture Video, bv number is 17x411w7KC, case sensitive
-what did you say?
Fortunately, Station B does not have a one-size-fits-all approach. At present, AV numbers can still be used to search and access videos, and BV numbers and AV numbers can be transferred to each other, and AV numbers are still being allocated. In this case, what is the point of launching BV?
No matter the reason, the B station with 130 million monthly active users is no longer the self-cutting two-dimensional "little broken station". The highly acclaimed New Year's Eve party and more and more all-encompassing video content , A large number of official media have settled in, and the journey of station B to break the circle has already begun. It may also be seen as station B’s self-confidence in its own development and its determination to further de-ACG. It's just that while breaking the circle, it will inevitably impact the familiar environment of old users. Youth may not be over yet, but old users are not ready yet. The picture of
