lol. lmao even
Even if the slop creators go back to Tiktok, Xiaohongshu is a much better experience. Within a day its algorithm started feeding me pretty much nothing but naturalists excited about plants and camping/hiking. Like Hexbear removing all of reddit’s gamification elements, that’s so much closer to authentic social media. I get much more value comparing native botany with someone in Yunnan than I do from endlessly scrolling a slopified stream of western social media equivalents.
yeah the algorithm is infinitely easier to sway. interacting with content and hitting the “not interested” button feels like it works 50x more efficient than tiktok.
also haven’t seen any ads, or promotional videos that pretend to not be ads. no hearing the same dozen trending audios over and over and over. the memes are funnier, the creative stuff is more creative, the content is more original, and the people are less toxic. + photos in comments. all around a much better experience
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.
I like how you can modify your algorithm, I can’t read it for **** yet but it’s cool that it’s there!
All I’m getting is communist music, PLA hardbass edits, cosplayers, and occasionally “American friends, is this just propaganda or do you actually have to [pay for ambulances, eat raw unseasoned broccoli for lunch, die in school shootings every week]”
So I guess it’s working pretty well
I was talking about it last night by the dems have fucked up so badly it’s unreal. These bozos were outflanked by Donald “wet boy” Trump, how embarrassing.
is this the shortest lived ban ever?
ok what was it and where’d you get banned for this masterpiece of a joke im assuming?
There was a series of content-farming posts where there was a picture of a take-out restaurant and the title was “What are you getting?”
I made a joke about getting diarrhea from an ethnic restaurant, and given certain context, violence against ethnic minorities, and stereotypes it was considered by users and mods to be racist.
everything to support genocidal entity
no one will remember this whole affair by 2026
