I'm curious what people here think will happen in the future regarding TikTok, Rednote, and western social media in general.

1. Do you think TikTok will be reinstated in the future?
2. Even if it is reinstated, will Americans users go back? Or stay on Rednote?
3. What will be the lasting effects of this ban?

One of the positive things I saw were some videos from Americans saying how surprised they were at how developed China is. Seeing Chinese people's everyday lives will hopefully let Americans perceive Chinese people as actual human beings and not some evil entity that is out to take over the world.

There were also some negatives. I saw some videos from Americans complaining about censo

I've been following western media's coverage of recent events regarding Russia's Wagner Group and in their usual propaganda style, frame the whole thing as a "military coup" or "rebellion" and that Russia is "on the verge of disintegration". The discussion is filled with comments like these:

Hater: I have nothing against the players, but the team is horrible.

Player: How exactly is the team horrible?

Hater: For one, they make fans pay to watch their games.

Player: If you don't think the games are entertaining, no one is forcing you to pay for them.

Hater: The games shouldn't cost that much, it's just cheap temporary entertainment that doesn't last anyway.

Player: So you don't think players should be paid market value for the entertainment they provide?

Hater: Of course I do! It's just the team is charging too much and keeping the revenue from the players.

Player: I'm happy with the contract I signed.
