There's already a mass exodus to RedNote, and I gotta say, I love that there are no ads.
Another Chinese app
Except it's owned by Xingyin Information Technology? And I didn't see any ads on Tiktok for Rednote, just creators telling me that's where they're going.
Did you just make that up, or did someone lie to you?
Soon enough, they’ll just rename TikTok to RedNote
I think that's the point... Its a protest, and RedNote doesn't even pretend that it isn't a part of the CCP. The tiktok users know this, they are just trying to give the biggest middle finger they can.
Middle finger saying “yah, we want the CCP to control our apps!”
It's a protest, it won't last forever. Americans aren't going to learn Mandarin fluently.
99% off the comments are in Mandarin, and like 50% of the UI is still in Mandarin even from US app stores.
Given that I live in America, I'd rather China controlling my apps than the American government.
