Abstract

As long as there is culture, there is a Distinction. The distinction is presented as people from different social classes having a different judgments of taste in art forms such as music, photography, and movies. The Internet has been developed for decades and has formed a rich Internet culture, the newest form of culture; people also have different tastes in it, which is still because they belong to different social classes, comparing the long-length video platform represented by Bilibili and the short-length video platform represented by Tiktok and Kwai, the differences in their user groups are not just a commercial phenomenon. From Bourdieu's perspective, it can be found that each Internet platform has a particular culture corresponding to the tastes of a particular social class, which is a distinction. This article will use Bourdieu's distinction theory to analyze the distinction among China's Internet platforms, which reveals there is a symbolic struggle of social classes on the Internet.
