The results of the first trial of iQiyi's "Celebrating Years" had been released. The Beijing Internet Court found that iQiyi's "pay-to-view" behavior had damaged the rights of Gold VIP members to watch the drama and reduced their experience and satisfaction.

In addition, the court also rejected the plaintiffs 'other claims. This case triggered a discussion about the "advanced on-demand" model. The court believed that the development of the business model should follow the commercial terms and respect the user's feelings, and did not violate the relevant laws and regulations. iQiyi's one-sided addition of the "pay-per-view" clause was deemed to have harmed the rights and interests of users, and the effect of the contract was not changed.
