    Just like the “men would do anything but go to therapy” meme, Americans would rather install malware on their phones than get out to vote.

    I think a handful of influencers found it and just started promoting it. It’s a bandwagon thing, I’m not expecting 95% of the TikTok base to be going to another Chinese app just to stick it to the man. They are going their because the people they follow are going there.

      A bunch of people moved over to 小红书 (xiaohongshu) lit. “little red book” aka RedNote. It’s basically chinese instagram.

          You see, as long as it’s China radicalizing people through social media delivered propaganda, it’s totally cool and edgy.

          Plus, many people have let themselves become so addicted to short form content that they are willing to slob-gobble down all of that propaganda and sell beg these companies to take their information without question as long as they get their Mr. Beast fix.
