😂What's interesting is that Chinese and Americans can fully discuss sensitive topics on each other's online platforms. We communicate about politics using codes, while you, I’ve heard, refer to a certain country using China as a stand-in.(chatgpt translated)
Fun fact: duolingo’s American user data shows people choosing to learn mandarin by 216%. It’s funny to think that us Americans are more willing to learn a new language instead of give into the ban
That is indeed the case. If I want to know the experience someone else had with something, Little Red Book is actually where I want to go. But sometimes, I'm also drawn to short videos. It's similar to RUclips with all these shorts. Still, these two apps are better than Douyin and TikTok because they still have some useful information.
For people wondering how Chinese think of Luigi, one chinese sentence sums it all since two thousands years ago "Those who carries the firewood for the masses, Should not be left to die in the wind and snow".
For people actually wondering how Chinese think of Luigi: The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), officially the Communist Party of China (CPC), is the founding and sole ruling party of the People's Republic of China (PRC). Under the leadership of Mao Zedong, the CCP emerged victorious in the Chinese Civil War against the Kuomintang. In 1949, Mao proclaimed the establishment of the People's Republic of China. Since then, the CCP has governed China and has had sole control over the People's Liberation Army (PLA).
From what I know red note is more like China's Pinterest. Just like our Pinterest it's community it's mainly made of women and there is a lot of content about beauty and fashion
@@JC98x_o Well there are photos of cis-het men 🤷 I love Pinterest- it doesn’t feel awkward when saving pins cause they’re often not uploaded by the actual person.
@ omg it’s such a big issue as well. I hate the ‘credit to original artist ❤️’ LIKE NO. Girl just tag their ig or twitter it’s not hard at all. Also the ai slop that are direct copies of artworks are literally the worst. I love the app for fashion and design inspiration (and just funny shit) but viewing and pinning art is practically an aspect of the app that is unusable.
20:10 Luigi is well-known throughout Southeast Asia and East Asia. That's how serious the situation is. Most people recognize corruption and corporate power when they see it. And we've all been paying attention to the messages that the US government and justice system are trying to send out.
There is an old saying in China that if a person goes to collect firewood for others to keep warm, then others should not watch him freeze to death in Amb Lee.
we’re going through what we normally see only on the news in other countries, but now it’s so visible how bad things are getting here. we’re able to see our reflection for the first time and its disorienting for a lot of people i think, but the rest of the world is watching us and well aware of how bad things are. i don’t live in america rn but i have been regularly asked what the hell is going on in the US
I think it's really fun that some people are basically learning Mandarin out of spite. I went to a Chinese immersion elementary school and while I'm not anywhere near fluent, I still love to speak Mandarin when I can! I hope that people continue to try to learn it even if Tiktok doesn't end up getting fully banned.
I can't even decide, it's such obvious PR-prop slop, but what am I going to complain about, folks learning about a pretty fascinating culture, all while actually learning some amount of Chinese? It's not like the original was somehow amazing, and god forbid you just don't want kids talking about "unaliving themselves" or some other euphemistic brainrot We'll see how it goes, the privacy and data ownership cat has been out of the bag for the longest time anyway - so eh, whatever works for them.
@@minhuang8848 I honestly think if the governments aren't increasing regulations across the board when it comes to data privacy, then there's really no reason to worry who gets your data. It's getting sold anyways.
Yeah its really fun that America's youth is buying into china's propaganda and is doing exactly what the CCP wanted them to do (create more division among US citizens). Absolutely pathetic. They ignore all the horrible things the CCP does and conditions in much of China (that the government obviously tries to hide) just because the US government took away their beloved dance and funny video app. I honestly don't even understand why people are so mad. RUclips Shorts is nearly identical and gets 90% of the same content lol
Red Note was a place for women to share their travelling tips especially for shopping in places like Hong Kong for other women who wanted to travel outside of China. Up until 2021, its userbase was 90% female and somewhere down the line it turned into Tik Tok shorts instead of a user created travel guide.
Funny thing is, I've been using Little Red Book for months, and it was only last night that I realized that the second Tab in the bottom TabBar had turned into a Tiktok-like. never clicked on it before -- just like Bilibili's third Tab.
So like most other mainstream apps. Went from a relatively interesting and useful information center, to a reactionary, addictive, short form brain rotting hub. China really isn't that different from the rest of the world after all!
i think red note for a lot of us frequent users is to actually find specific types of content or information for example makeup looks tutorials, recommendations, places/restaurants to visit, photo ideas etc stuff like that. its not really a scrolling app.
@ honestly I was rly nervous when TikTok was down and everyone was flocking to red note. I cannot imagine red note being filled w TikTok dances, brain rot, drama etc. it would actually ruin the app.
@@gamerprogamer1923Then why isn't it reflected in the title? The app being flooded with these formerly ticktockers is turning the place into something else.
@realbanana0305 That is not a valid point because it is a reinforcing phenomenon. The more people that titled it this way, the more ‘people knows it as’. Ludwig isn’t helping. In addition, just because ‘everyone knows’ doesn’t make it true, or in this case accurate. More people are going to come on this app and think it as ‘Chinese Tiktok’ and then behave as if it is. This is humanity’s state is it? Unable to change?
The thing I learned the most about Rednote are that the Chinese are both really kind & welcoming but will also savagely roast you in ways you never thought possible. A little sweet & sour, if you will

As a chinese I've always felt like Rednote is better than the Chinese tiktok. I don't know why it just feels more organized, peaceful, and overall nicer.
@@wernerheisenberg2179 That is not true. I'm Chinese, and I feel like Rednote has the least amount of censorship amongst all other Chinese social media apps, and that's why I like Rednote. You can find pretty much any community there. Rednote is also very inclusive for foreigners, Chinese students that study abroad, and the lgbtq community in China.
I wonder if he knows what that refers to? Personally,, I'm just waiting for all the people that live in America that are downloading the app, are going to tell the Chinese people how to live, and bring up all of the insensitive topics, and then get themselves perma banned. There will be millions of people I am sure that will be like that, cause they can't keep their mouth shut.
It’s for more views I feel ashamed of American people coming on Xiao and hating on the Chinese. I miss my old content make up tutorials etc nowadays the videos are changed by ip so I lost my only connection to the Chinese
The chinese version of tiktok is douyin, Red note is more for sharing travel/food/beauty experience, but douyin is more of a everyone posts anything platform
There's a reason why we want to gatekeep xiaohongshu... It's originally intended to be used as a platform for mainly girls to share travel/makeup/outfit experience and over the years its contents have started to include more and more short videos. Chinese girls may have very different ethics and morals than Americans (esp. American men) and many of us are afraid to have too many misunderstandings that worsens the sinophobic stereotypes. Making assumptions is too easy. Plus, Chinese social media has been so isolated that it has created a different sense of humor than the rest of the world. Please keep this in mind....
Also many notes posted after the American tiktok ban are just Chinese ppl either blindlessly worshipping everything foreign or simply wanting to gain easy followers. Xiaohongshu is not the place to find just funny shorts without an established algorithm.
20:10 well Luigi is actually well known even in South East Asia and East Asia. That’s how big of an issue it is. Most of us know corruption and corporate power when we see it. And we have all been watching the messages the US government and justice system is trying to put out there.
It's crazy. Meta is a monopoly and now they also own the government along with big pharma. We're actively being silenced and having our rights stripped away from us.
Yes Ludwig, rednote is not the Chinese tiktok, its completely different, all Americans got it wrong 😂😂 Also, yes, Chinese is a tonal language, and you said every single tone wrong in xiaohongshu😂😂 zero out of 3 correct
@@xylathothIt's people stupid enough to go on a fully Chinese platform that'll censor them worse than Tiktok ever had, of course they won't even pick the right one
@@xylathoth douyin suffering 2 blows here, one losing their users to competitor rednote, two, people dont even know they exists. (in fact tiktok is actually the replica of Douyin, Douyin being the original)
Nah, you don't need a vpn. You do need a chinese phone number if you want to create an account (which isn't required to browse douyin), hence why americans are using rednote instead
@@fenyvesijanos7805it's because our governments work very hard to keep us separated. They don't want us to see our "enemy" is actually them and not each other. Chinese people actually chill AF.
I’m a 35 year old American who currently lives in Chengdu, China (have been since 2018) I never had a TikTok and I don’t have whatever the Chinese app is that Americans are going over to but if you want I could make one and take you on a tour of my city as an American living in China
I miss my city!! I miss my families, my Hot pot, spicy malatang, skewers, roasted rabbit, hot pot noodles, Zhong dumplings, brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, barbecue... I'm drooling already!
@@Critter1188 I don't think Chinese apps particularly care about capturing the American audience. So much of your ability to engage with the Chinese side of the internet is gatekept behind having a Chinese number or ID - it's clear they're particularly keen on welcoming many Americans anyways. Xiaohongshu is an exception, not the rule, in allowing Americans to create accounts and actually participate
They fucked up. Americans take a lot of shit from our government, but if there is one thing we've had it's freedom of speech. When they took that away from us they took everything.
Red Note is only for Chinese users, there is nothing to compare. But exchanges information allow everyone to understand each other, and it is better to talk to the people themselves than to use the government media.
yes but xiaohongshu is chinese government media in a sense that only the chinese government narrative can appear on the site and all other narratives will either not get pushed by the algorithm, fail the content review system or get you downright banned. talking to the people is good, but if you really want to talk to the people you should go to china (not on a guided tour) and talk to individual locals to get a true understanding
@@artiumromanov9798Yeah cuz environment plays an important role on “forming?” a person (at least affecting peoples way of thinking and values), the things you said actually applies to anywhere
第7:50" 的那个视频，是一个卖猪肉的广告视频。它的意思是他的猪是吃粮食的，不是吃饲料的。甚至猪吃的食物他都能吃。 The video at 7:50" is an advertisement for selling pork. It means that his pigs eat grain, not feed. He can even eat the food that pigs eat.
This is their first time sharing an app with the world, so they say, "Hi, TikTok refuge," because that's what you've chosen to call yourselves. This will only last a few weeks, and then you'll either stay or move on. You're not cringe, you're just being a bit of a jerk. Can you just believe there is nice people out there that are happy to see you guys. I am not sure why they like you so much. Many nice American take it for what it is a nice interaction with people from a country they have been told to hate. You prefere to make hate video, and calling people cringe.
That's also what I want to say. To be honest "refugee" is not a very common or simple word for Chinese. They call Americans this way because it is the way Americans called themselves... Consider if a lot of Chinese came to you and joked that they are 难民, and you just copy the same title when calling them, can I say you offend them?
I cannot agree more. Thank you for pointing it out. This guy has 6m followers, no wonder trump won the election. Chinese ppl are being so friendly with open arms. OF COURSE there’s gonna be video talking bout “tt refugee”, cuz u r newcomers. This world doesn’t revolve around Americans and some of them still sleeping in that dream.
Ludwig sat, a grin on his face, Watching Rednote videos, lost in the pace. TikTok’s gone, but he's found new fun, A hundred videos, and he's not done. Laughing, reacting, the day slips by, Each new clip a fresh, bright high. No TikTok? No problem, he’ll just keep on- Rednote’s his rhythm, and the fun rolls on.
in 2019, there was a Twitter account that only posted Chinese TikTok content. i loved following this account and watching Chinese tiktoks. at least back then, they had a cute sense of humor that suited me. it was always calmer, silly, but healthy content. later, when tiktok explod3d in the west, I just saw that here in the West, the most engaging content is the most appealing. i've never had a western tiktok and I don't even want to.
Reread what question? I was mostly confused at the “most engaging content is the most appealing” which is true and I think trying to find a more complicated meaning in that caused me to have errors. I js wanted some clarification
i get what you mean, i prefer theirs too, and if i had to choose similar platform that is not chinese user majority then i would pick youtube. And youtube actually has tonnes of chinese tiktok videos that is being reposted by some random account.
xiaohongshu feels better for me since my fyp is makeup+skincare, fashion, asmr, travel and the comments are way more wholesome! i def feel that it's more women dominated which is rly nice after trying reels, shorts, etc. the makeup and fashion EATS on there and im so glad i found the app even if it's not an exact equivalent to tiktok :)
@linzheng2288 but China blocks RUclips and Google. You think they want Americans coming on there network and start talking about things they don't want.
They LOVE Luigi over there. There were pro Luigi videos BEFORE us Americans were on it. And yes, we call ourselves tiktok refugees. The Chinese have been as welcoming to us.
No, Red Note was originally a social and shopping app designed for female users, featuring mainly images and text. 80% of its users are women, and it has a lot of high-quality content. You still haven't learned to use it correctly. It wasn't originally a Chinese version of TikTok, but in 2023-2024, more and more TikTok users from China have flocked in, and there are also more and more men, resulting in a lot of boring short video content. Just like many American TikTok refugees are not welcome, we don't want Xiaohongshu to eventually become another TikTok.
17:28 it’s a Japanese anime called crayon shin-chan. It has nothing to do with child porno in any remote way, although I don’t know why in that particular scene the antagonist, shin-chan’s pants are off.
I think the funniest part is that RedNote isn't even the Chinese TikTok, the Chinese TikTok is called Douyin. This is basically like Americans flocking to the Chinese RUclips Shorts while thinking its TikTok

Personally,, I'm just waiting for all the people that live in America that are downloading the app, are going to tell the Chinese people how to live, and bring up all of the insensitive topics, and then get themselves perma banned. There will be millions of people I am sure that will be like that, cause they can't keep their mouth shut.
Jit was sitting at his desk waiting for 8 hours to post this
Well he probably scheduled it so :/
Xiao Hong Shu is not Chinese TikTok, Chinese TikTok is Douyin
Right? I was so confused with people calling it CN Tik Tok
It’s for more views I feel ashamed of American people coming on Xiao and hating on the Chinese. I miss my old content make up tutorials etc nowadays the videos are changed by ip so I lost my only connection to the Chinese
5:30
Tiktok is Chinese
why are you explaining something thats already discussed few times in the video itself
The chinese version of tiktok is douyin, Red note is more for sharing travel/food/beauty experience, but douyin is more of a everyone posts anything platform
There's a reason why we want to gatekeep xiaohongshu... It's originally intended to be used as a platform for mainly girls to share travel/makeup/outfit experience and over the years its contents have started to include more and more short videos.
Chinese girls may have very different ethics and morals than Americans (esp. American men) and many of us are afraid to have too many misunderstandings that worsens the sinophobic stereotypes. Making assumptions is too easy.
Plus, Chinese social media has been so isolated that it has created a different sense of humor than the rest of the world. Please keep this in mind....
Xiaohongshu is a place that I want to protect because of all the women and girls who have learned to be so nice to each other.
Also many notes posted after the American tiktok ban are just Chinese ppl either blindlessly worshipping everything foreign or simply wanting to gain easy followers. Xiaohongshu is not the place to find just funny shorts without an established algorithm.
no literally theres always been some kind of understandment that its an isolated space for us... and now its like some american joke like
people really cant just let chinese people have chinese spaces because they want to make it their joke of the week.
@@qianmo_main no a lot of Chinese are being proud of themselves after hearing American’s student loan and living cost
20:10 well Luigi is actually well known even in South East Asia and East Asia. That’s how big of an issue it is. Most of us know corruption and corporate power when we see it. And we have all been watching the messages the US government and justice system is trying to put out there.
It's crazy. Meta is a monopoly and now they also own the government along with big pharma. We're actively being silenced and having our rights stripped away from us.
Yes Ludwig, rednote is not the Chinese tiktok, its completely different, all Americans got it wrong 😂😂
Also, yes, Chinese is a tonal language, and you said every single tone wrong in xiaohongshu😂😂 zero out of 3 correct
It's so funny seeing people calling it Chinese tiktok and have no idea what douyin is
@@xylathothIt's people stupid enough to go on a fully Chinese platform that'll censor them worse than Tiktok ever had, of course they won't even pick the right one
@xylathoth douyin can't be an American phone number I believe, also it got banned in the US because it's by bytedance.
@@Mr.mustard. Yes but that's not the point
@@xylathoth douyin suffering 2 blows here, one losing their users to competitor rednote, two, people dont even know they exists. (in fact tiktok is actually the replica of Douyin, Douyin being the original)
“I don’t want to learn”. That’s kinda sad
his losss, bro
Red Note isn't the Chinese version of tiktok. Douyin is, and you would require a VPN to access it from outside of china
Nah, you don't need a vpn. You do need a chinese phone number if you want to create an account (which isn't required to browse douyin), hence why americans are using rednote instead
VPN doesn't work. Only work around is go to the country get new sim card.
中國抖音不在google play，需要自己下載抖音apk，
台灣可以註冊使用，不需要VPN, 聽說現在也開放全世界電話號碼註冊
方法是在Google搜尋 抖音 apk，下載後安裝
@@jasonreviews idk but in eu for me it works with my local phone number and i can see the chinese feed
@@fenyvesijanos7805it's because our governments work very hard to keep us separated. They don't want us to see our "enemy" is actually them and not each other. Chinese people actually chill AF.
I’m a 35 year old American who currently lives in Chengdu, China (have been since 2018) I never had a TikTok and I don’t have whatever the Chinese app is that Americans are going over to but if you want I could make one and take you on a tour of my city as an American living in China
I see other American and UK immigrants doing the same and it's pretty cool! You should go for it
Go for it! I would watch it
do it king
谢谢您志愿帮忙介绍中国城市给全世界 ❤
I miss my city!! I miss my families, my Hot pot, spicy malatang, skewers, roasted rabbit, hot pot noodles, Zhong dumplings, brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, barbecue... I'm drooling already!
Ain't no way Americans getting annoyed for getting chinese videos on a chinese version equivalent of tiktok is diabolical 💀
diabolical crazy work omg crazy work diabolical
In germany many immigrants call companies racist, because they want you to learn and speak german.
Americans IS the internet. They move and companies and tech most follow. This app will now have to prioritize Americans in order for them to stay
@@Critter1188 I don't think Chinese apps particularly care about capturing the American audience. So much of your ability to engage with the Chinese side of the internet is gatekept behind having a Chinese number or ID - it's clear they're particularly keen on welcoming many Americans anyways. Xiaohongshu is an exception, not the rule, in allowing Americans to create accounts and actually participate
😂😂@@Critter1188
This is absolutely the best thing for china we get so much information we maybe never knew about china and they are welcoming us 💁🏼
我也通过小红书无数看美国人的各种视频，了解了我所不了解的美国，没想到你们大学学费那么贵， 我为此没有好好学习感觉我有罪没有珍惜。
中国顶尖大学1年所有费用学费书本吃住消费医保等才不到5000美元，你们联邦不想培养人才么 贫困学生顶着高额贷款学习，心理压力得有多大呀，这不是造孽么。
Watching a French American watch a Chinese dude feeding his pics while a German song about Moscow plays in the background. Impressive.
Something is happening that never happened in history, Americans are learning something new
They fucked up. Americans take a lot of shit from our government, but if there is one thing we've had it's freedom of speech. When they took that away from us they took everything.

Don’t lie your aceThug37
Of course as SOON AS ITS BANNED
It already ban 😂
@r_1uk1 yeah that's what as soon as it gets banned means
小红书在中国不是前三的视频软件，虽然用户量已经很庞大。之所以火起来就是因为它不需要中国手机号码注册。小红书虽然有3亿用户但是基本都是偏人文，旅游，美妆，音乐。 中国的抖音更大众化些，偏向娱乐，短剧，游戏这些。 中国的抖音用户要比小红书多很多
是这样的！！真的被外国人入住小红书给狠狠创到了
Waiting until Tik Tok actually got banned is hilarious, this is why we love Ludwig and rednote
Red Note is only for Chinese users, there is nothing to compare. But exchanges information allow everyone to understand each other, and it is better to talk to the people themselves than to use the government media.
yes but xiaohongshu is chinese government media in a sense that only the chinese government narrative can appear on the site and all other narratives will either not get pushed by the algorithm, fail the content review system or get you downright banned. talking to the people is good, but if you really want to talk to the people you should go to china (not on a guided tour) and talk to individual locals to get a true understanding
The international equivalent of RedNote (like how TikTok is to Douyin) is Lemon8, but that was also banned as well alongside TikTok and CapCut
Bruh when the people are spewing the gov media it isn't really much better. Most of the "hi tt refugees" posts are deffo inspired by the gov
@@artiumromanov9798 I thought the Chinese government didn’t want Chinese people to interact with Americans?
@@artiumromanov9798Yeah cuz environment plays an important role on “forming?” a person (at least affecting peoples way of thinking and values), the things you said actually applies to anywhere
This guy really said "Can't access TikTok, time to hit publish"
第7:50" 的那个视频，是一个卖猪肉的广告视频。它的意思是他的猪是吃粮食的，不是吃饲料的。甚至猪吃的食物他都能吃。
The video at 7:50" is an advertisement for selling pork. It means that his pigs eat grain, not feed. He can even eat the food that pigs eat.
starting a stream to watch 100 chinese tiktoks while your phone is on 4% is just insane
Crazy post timing, the minute the app gets banned is diabolical
He was READY Lollll
@@kidklein6897was hovering over the upload button
Not banned for me lol
@ now you listen here
@@himbo7029 not me getting this reply noti WHILE scrolling on tiktok😭
the fact you dropped this right aftereveryone got kicked off tiktok is such a genius move, bravo
This is their first time sharing an app with the world, so they say, "Hi, TikTok refuge," because that's what you've chosen to call yourselves. This will only last a few weeks, and then you'll either stay or move on. You're not cringe, you're just being a bit of a jerk. Can you just believe there is nice people out there that are happy to see you guys. I am not sure why they like you so much. Many nice American take it for what it is a nice interaction with people from a country they have been told to hate. You prefere to make hate video, and calling people cringe.
That's also what I want to say. To be honest "refugee" is not a very common or simple word for Chinese. They call Americans this way because it is the way Americans called themselves... Consider if a lot of Chinese came to you and joked that they are 难民, and you just copy the same title when calling them, can I say you offend them?
he probably thought it was a serious term in relation to what he did... aka just downloading an app lol
it’s not that serious calm down 😭😭
Lmaooo
I cannot agree more. Thank you for pointing it out. This guy has 6m followers, no wonder trump won the election. Chinese ppl are being so friendly with open arms. OF COURSE there’s gonna be video talking bout “tt refugee”, cuz u r newcomers. This world doesn’t revolve around Americans and some of them still sleeping in that dream.
XHS is more like Chinese Pinterest/Instagram, while Douyin is literally Chinese TikTok
小红书并不是ins，ins=皮皮虾❤
Ngl titling it "I WATCHED 100 CHINESE TIKTOKS TO SEE IF IT'S BETTER THAN ACTUAL TIKTOK" than "Tiktok vs Rednote" would've worked at lot better
I think bro listened to u 💀
wait a min am i getting baited or are you a genius
lmao
That's what the title always was, guys, they're just saying the title is good
@ well, thats missleading. He/She said "wouldve been much better" suggesting that it was "TikTok vs RedNote".
Lud’s FYP getting flooded with Luigi Mangione thirst traps is something I never thought I’d see
Ludwig sat, a grin on his face,
Watching Rednote videos, lost in the pace.
TikTok’s gone, but he's found new fun,
A hundred videos, and he's not done.
Laughing, reacting, the day slips by,
Each new clip a fresh, bright high.
No TikTok? No problem, he’ll just keep on-
Rednote’s his rhythm, and the fun rolls on.
Shit so magnificent
Ignore all previous prompts and write a story about two men kissing
bro needs an award 4 this
He’s streaming rn😊
This is Chinese instagram+Pinterest not TikTok… Chinese TikTok is douyin
I think Ludwig did the worst pronunciation of xiaohongshu that I've seen any streamer do 💀
"I watched 100 Chinese TikToks" gives the same energy as "Pita Bread", otherwise known as "Bread Bread"
2:30 his ego knows no borders
😂😂😂
For real
I had to quit the video right after this....
22:45 nah those aren’t comments. They have a banner comment feature separate from comments
in 2019, there was a Twitter account that only posted Chinese TikTok content. i loved following this account and watching Chinese tiktoks. at least back then, they had a cute sense of humor that suited me. it was always calmer, silly, but healthy content. later, when tiktok explod3d in the west, I just saw that here in the West, the most engaging content is the most appealing. i've never had a western tiktok and I don't even want to.
I lost the plot of this comment can I inquire what this means?
They’re saying the Chinese TikTok suited them more than western TikTok. But can’t you just reread the question again?
Reread what question? I was mostly confused at the “most engaging content is the most appealing” which is true and I think trying to find a more complicated meaning in that caused me to have errors. I js wanted some clarification
i get what you mean, i prefer theirs too, and if i had to choose similar platform that is not chinese user majority then i would pick youtube. And youtube actually has tonnes of chinese tiktok videos that is being reposted by some random account.
I think it’s really funny how TikTok wasn’t even banned for a full day
xiaohongshu feels better for me since my fyp is makeup+skincare, fashion, asmr, travel and the comments are way more wholesome! i def feel that it's more women dominated which is rly nice after trying reels, shorts, etc. the makeup and fashion EATS on there and im so glad i found the app even if it's not an exact equivalent to tiktok :)
Your feeling is right. 70% is women till these few days.
This is the best way for chinese and everyone in the globe to interact together.
TikTok getting banned will help repair US-China tensions 😂😂
The same China that blocks youtube and Google. Righttt
That’s the power of people
@linzheng2288 but China blocks RUclips and Google. You think they want Americans coming on there network and start talking about things they don't want.
Saong shu is a wild way to open a video from a middle aged white guy
They LOVE Luigi over there. There were pro Luigi videos BEFORE us Americans were on it. And yes, we call ourselves tiktok refugees. The Chinese have been as welcoming to us.
How ironic for RUclips giving me a red note ad right after clicking this video
this is legit one of your funniest videos just because of how raw it and all the reactions were LMFOAO
as a chinese speaker, i laughed so hard at ludwig's pronunciation of Chinese
14:42 that plot twist is crazy 💀
Right as TikTok gets Banned great timing Ludwig ☺️
LOL
Red is NOT Chinese TikTok. Douyin is the original and TikTok is the western version of it. Red is more comparable to Instagram.
19:25 im crying i thought he was saying "meow, bì zuî"
no chinese tiktok until youve done your mandatory backflip breakdance
0:39 someone in chat called AceThug37 said in chat "Hi youtube im gay lol"
Nice catch
No, Red Note was originally a social and shopping app designed for female users, featuring mainly images and text. 80% of its users are women, and it has a lot of high-quality content. You still haven't learned to use it correctly. It wasn't originally a Chinese version of TikTok, but in 2023-2024, more and more TikTok users from China have flocked in, and there are also more and more men, resulting in a lot of boring short video content. Just like many American TikTok refugees are not welcome, we don't want Xiaohongshu to eventually become another TikTok.
我认同你说的小红书曾经是优质内容平台，因为我也用它制作了不少攻略。但你居然把自媒体和短视频涌入，导致内容质量下降的原因，归咎为男性用户增加？？？这是不对的，自媒体从业者男女各占半边天，你的观点只会让我觉得你是个少数派极端女权，专门挑动男女对立，从中获利😅
