Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

Bigo Live has become a platform where certain hosts engage in concerning behavior without consequence. One particular host, known as 'Big Papi,' has repeatedly bullied and humiliated another host, 'MoetGoddess,' with no apparent intervention from the platform. Despite the ongoing harassment, Bigo has failed to take appropriate action, raising questions about its enforcement of community guidelines.

I have been on the app on and off for 2 years. While Bigo is an okay app to go live, they ban you for anything meanwhile allowing people to stay on the app that perform inappropriate activities. I withdrew over $700 from the app to transfer into my account, and after 20 business days, it says the transaction was complete in the Bigo app but nothing is in my account.

I wish it when you were having the PK battles that the other person doesn’t see your commentary. Second of all, people will come to BIGO LIVE if the gifts were cheaper than your competitor. Third, if you can post up videos and pictures just like your competitor, you’ll have more people coming in and using your platform.
