Four years ago In the last year of Trump's first term He threatened to ban TikTok At that time There were no TikTok refugees flooding into Rednote Chinese people wanting to understand the real thoughts of Americans Could only rely on another way To satisfy their curiosity -Hello, I'm Jerry Kowal -I am from -New York, USA... -I'm an influencer Jerry became the most famous foreigner in China He made countless street interview videos Including How Americans feel about Trump wanting to ban TikTok Four years later Trump, who once wanted to ban TikTok, has now transformed Into the great hero who saved TikTok Meanwhile, the last update on Jerry’s page Is still stuck in 2022 Since the TikTok refugees settled into Rednote Chinese netizens no longer needed Jerry To ask Americans questions on their behalf But after the intense "Great Reconciliation Movement" Many Chinese netizens remembered Jerry And started to sigh: It turns out Jerry was right all along! Americans really don’t have savings They can't afford to go to doctor's office Their live is harder than ours! China is truly amazing! Hey y'all! Lele Farley here We all witnessed The brief honeymoon period between Chinese and American netizens on Rednote At first, Chinese people warmly welcomed American refugees Then, American refugees provided Chinese people With emotional value through national pride This is so called the "Great Reconciliation Movement" Now, TikTok is back A large number of Americans quickly packed up and Returned to their comfortable old homes Now, we have finally entered The next phase of this drama That is, the Chinese who gained plenty of dopamine And satisfaction during the "Great Reconciliation Movement" Will now have to face how The excitement fades after everyone has left After all, three years ago Spokesperson Zhao Lijian of the Foreign Ministry said: -China is free to come and go This referred to those TikTok refugees And certainly not to Chinese people themselves So, among the foreigners who chose to stay Could anyone pick up the baton That Jerry once left behind? And continue to fuel nationalism with dopamine for the Chinese? No matter who you support This entire drama around the TikTok ban Trump is definitely the biggest winner in all of this After TikTok was banned on the 18th It was quickly unbanned after 12 hours And the platform showed each user’s TikTok interface: "As a result of President Trump's efforts" This is definitely the best personal brand marketing I’ve seen in my life This move directly won Trump The affection of many young voters And made him seen as "the savior of TikTok" Friends who’ve followed me for a long time should know My views on TikTok If you're new here You can click this link to learn more I have to admit I’ve always had some... Very negative stereotypes about TikTok users And the "Great Reconciliation Movement" on Rednote Has opened my eyes to the ignorance and stupidity Of these TikTokers And thoroughly confirmed for me That leads us back to our topic today Let's first study the types of people among the TikTok refugees. First, there are the ordinary TikTok users who follow the trend. No matter how they package this internet trend as a form of rebellion against authority and government, what they truly care about is finding a substitute for their spiritual addiction. For this type of user, Rednote is just a temporary substitute. Once TikTok is unbanned, they will immediately return to it. This is the case for most TikTok refugees who moved to Rednote Another type of TikTok refugee are influencers who were already quite influential on TikTok. They are worried about their influencer careers, which may be interrupted by the TikTok ban. So they come to establish a presence here just in case. After all, for them, a platform with resources is where they thrive. Once TikTok returns, they will go back to the platform t hey rely on to continue their career. This means the remaining TikTok refugees on Rednote are the following two types. The first type is wannabe influencers who once tasted a bit of fame on TikTok. After experiencing the pleasure brought by traffic, when they come to Rednote they find that they don't need outstanding skills or looks, with zero effort. they can easily gain the most traffic and likes of their lives This instant gratification boosts their desire to become famous Even if they can return to TikTok now, they are unwilling to leave Rednote so quickly. They still want to keep dreaming of becoming influencers and making money here. Only when they gradually realize that it's almost impossible to make money on this app, and that dopamine from likes and views fades, if they no longer have money as a driving force, they will eventually leave Rednote Finally, after layers of selection, the ones who remain are the potential shills -Helle, Rednote -I've made over 200 vdieos -comparing American and Chinese culture... To become the Jerry Kowal in the hearts of the people means you not only need to study Chinese for at least two years but also you have to be proficient in various G-spot issues of the Chinese people. For example, looting gun violence unaffordable medical care, etc. Jerry himself went to the streets of Detroit to show the American decline. So, his successor could perhaps go to Skid Row in Los Angeles, the homeless camp, to show the dangers and decay of America. The Great Reconciliation Movement is a New Year's gift from Americans to Chinese. But the pleasure it brings will soon pass. Before long, as the Chinese people's spirit is once again crushed by 996, 007, and the increasingly declining Chinese economy, they will need more of this China-US comparison... To relieve the suffering of real life. it feels a bit like Trump The biggest winner actually, besides Trump, is the Chinese government sitting back and profiting. They not only preserved TikTok’s algorithm and its continuing influence in American society, but also in this wave of TikTok refugees fleeing to Rednote they have gained countless unexpected publicity. And the losers are all of us. The vast Chinese netizens, although they got a brief nationalist thrill, but in the midst of information disparity and prejudice, they’ve fallen deeper. Most Americans, especially TikTok users, they also only care about easily accessible pleasure. They won’t unite to protest about America’s corrupt healthcare system or big banks buying up houses, etc. They just know to exercise their rights to satisfy their addiction to TikTok this spiritual drug. This reminds me of a scene I once saw in Beijing when I was in school. On the bus, outside the window was a sky covered with smog, and every person inside the bus was eagerly staring at their phone screens. That was the year 2016 when Douyin (Chinese TikTok) became popular No one cared about the scene outside the window. No one thought about the smog in front of them. Everyone chose to swipe through one short video after another to escape the problems of real life. My American fellow citizens also the same, they don’t care which direction our country is heading... So, it can’t just be me wondering where is our Jerry Kowal of the American people! -Amazing, America!
