A screen-shot of popular Drama on Tudou
Tudou's affection
Tudou and other video sharing website affected Chinese people a lot. Especially the young generation who are younger than 30 years old. A lot of young people doesn't even buy television anymore, because people can find everything online for free now. I don't think Tudou has affected the older generation that much yet, because my dad would rather to go to the video store and pay for dramas and movies.
Bad or Good?
Tudou could be bad and good for different groups of people.
Tudou is good for most of people, because there are so many videos on Tudou. Tudou's update of videos are so fast, and users of Tudou upload things from all over the world. Such as Gossip girl, the users of Tudou record it and translate it into Chinese then they will upload it onto Tudou in less than 3 days. If it's dramas from China mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, it is even faster, users of Tudou will record and upload the videos in less than three hours. People does not have to pay a penny to watch the videos, and they can watch videos from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, United State of America, United Kingdom and other regions any time any where. It is so convenient comparing to television, and the users who upload the videos even deleted the Ad, which saves time for the people who does not want to watch the Ad.
Tudou is bad for the people who actually make dramas, movies and TV shows. A lot of people doesn't watch movies anymore - why would one pay 80 Yuan for a movie when the movie will be available online after a few weeks? People doesn't spend money on buying albums anymore , because the music and videos are all online and one can always download it.
