Zhihu is a prominent Chinese social question-and-answer platform that allows users to seek information by soliciting opinions and insights from individuals rather than relying solely on traditional forum responses. Established to foster a community-driven exchange of knowledge, Zhihu has grown significantly, with a registered user base exceeding 300,000 by early 2012. The company operates primarily within the online content community space, monetizing its services through a combination of paid memberships, advertising, content-commerce solutions, and vocational training offerings. All of its revenue is generated from within China, reflecting its focus on the domestic market and its commitment to providing users with a rich and engaging platform for knowledge sharing.
