If you look at the top ten TikTok influencers in China vs. America you will see two very different pictures. In America, the top influencers are lip-syncing artists, dance challenge connoisseurs, and internet pranksters. In China, the top influencers are artists, chefs, actors, and entrepreneurs. Podcaster and comedian Andrew Schulz made this point recently: “We shouldn’t want some other country’s tech influencing us. In China, the way the algorithm works is that it doesn’t reward people doing stupid dances and playing with their dog. The algorithm rewards things they want to see their youth do: cool engineering, cool science… but in America, it rewards twerking, stupid dances, and things that are truly worthless to society.” https://medium.com/yardco.. #ScholER
