Cool to see!

Are there some stats on it?

Most Americans will just go to instagram/facebook/twitter unfortunately

The great Satan won this round I’m afraid. Still though, I’m really curious to see some metrics (if those are even available anywhere)

like another commentor said, any amount of americans being exposed to chinese culture is a positive.

I tried to make an account months ago to practice Chinese, but it didn't work because of the verification texts. Let me know if someone has strats to make it more likely to go thru.

Too early to tell long term impacts, but as it stands this is probably the largest Chinese -> American cultural exchange like, ever. This number of Americans have literally never been this exposed to Chinese media or just Chinese people.

Half of Americans use TikTok. If 5% of them join LittleRedBook it’s over 8 million people. And I would expect it’s well over 5%.

God reading that back what a stupid fucking plan this ban was. Oh yeah no problem we’ll ban the platform that half of the country uses, arguably the dominant force of culture in this country, surely no one will be upset and there’ll be no significant consequences, they’ll totally understand and go right back to the loving arms of the Zuck.
