Just now (September 12th), the official account of Baijiahao, "Baidu Creator Official Assistant," released an important announcement announcing a major change: the name of Baijiahao is no longer subject to uniqueness restrictions. In the past, in order to ensure the quality of content on the platform and avoid confusion for users when searching and following, the Baijiahao platform explicitly stipulated that the name of each account must be unique. This requirement of uniqueness not only helps maintain order on the platform, but also ensures that users can accurately find the accounts they follow.
At the same time, this also protects the rights of original authors and avoids copyright issues and confusion that may arise from multiple accounts using the same name. In addition, this requirement for uniqueness is also seen as an encouragement for content creators, motivating them to create unique and recognizable brand names that enhance their personal or corporate brand image. However, with the development in recent years, the activity of Baijiahao as a self media platform has not achieved the expected effect. In order to better meet the needs of creators, enhance the freedom of the platform, and allow every creator to choose their own account name more freely, and better showcase their personal characteristics and brand influence, the official has decided to officially lift the restriction on the uniqueness of account names. This decision is undoubtedly a challenging change.
For creators, this means they can more freely choose their favorite names without worrying about duplication with other accounts. For the platform, this is both an opportunity and a test. On the one hand, this may attract more creators to join, increasing the diversity and activity of the platform; On the other hand, this may also bring some management challenges, such as how to ensure the quality of content and avoid confusion in names.
