Yea, xhs is better than tiktok. Idk why, but I think it is partially because there is no capacity for Americans to make money directly from the app rn. There are more restrictions on that stuff in China anyway, but no way to get paid without a Chinese ID.

Pretty sure you can still do product placement and shit, but I think youd get banned if you aren't doing it as required.

I don't mind the algo though. It didn't take long to push it in a certain direction. I imagine I'll stop using it soon though, because at the end of the day it's still just easily palatable slop. Cool seeing the books Chinese nerds are reading though. I'll likely keep coming back for that lol.
