blew my mind when I learned that China has an entirely different TikTok for its own citizens (more emphasis on education and business) than in the USA

Honestly, as a professional… it gives me hope. I’m a little late on the field, and I thought Id be competing more.

Nope, kids are almost proud to be dumb as rocks.

Almost? My my 20+yo nieces don't know about the Tulsa massacre and CRT, they went to protest during the floyd murder, they thought that was something new.

At least they're trying? Why don't you educate them? They don't teach that in school

CRT is a university level specialist topic that they will never study outside of that field and the Tulsa massacre isn’t part of the curriculum.

Do you expect them to have genetically encoded history or something? Get Uncling/Aunting and tell them about it!

My neighbors are Chinese, and their TikToks are all livestreams of people selling make-up and other garbage

I'm saying he's an idiot for thinking it's not geographical and that simply being Chinese grants you access to the Chinese version of TikTok. Your region determines your viewing, it's like if someone says everyone in the UK watches BBC but I chime in saying "I have a neighbor from England and he watches CSPAN"....like yeah, you idiot, because he's your neighbor here in America

Yh, no. There is literally a different Tiktok app that's not available to you or I and is region non affected and only displays Chinese contents so yh, he might actually be right.

Lol what? Why do you think I wouldn't have considered that? Obviously I asked follow up questions. It's almost a completely different app for them. You can buy things off of it by swiping, and it has a few fundamentally different features like a new UI. It's not like they're just using it in Chinese.
