Basically shaking nations and people down for money; ah, the traditional Anglo practice of piracy.
AI tax that I was talking about
Of late it seems like they just went “fuck it” with any semblance of international image.
As entertaining as this xhs situation had been, I saw an argument saying that this will most likely end up being a net negative. The culture clash plus heavy moderation after the honeymoon period might end up being more of a negative overall? What does everyone else think? I think that it’s highly dependent on whether or not tiktok gets banned. If it survives, most people will probably just return with a small percentage staying as it can be fun and novel so any conflict will be quite minimal. But to me it seems like there’s quite a high chance of massive conflict between the two user bases if they stay given their differences. I think it’s good that to give Chinese people exposure to how actual Americans talk and think vs how libs romanticize them so hopefully the situation doesn’t sour too much. I remember Chinese games like Genshin constantly had controversy with the non-Chinese audience but they pushed through it every time as far as I can tell so it would be nice if it happens again even though situation is different.
