The China-centric video sharing platform is expanding with a new international app and an English version of its website – with no identity verification (for now at least)

Seems like a natural next step. XHS works well as a social media app across countries and has opened up China to average US citizens and vice versa. I’ve had a lot of good genuine conversations with people, they’ve managed to cultivate a good culture on the app.
As YouTube continues to enshittify, maybe there’s an opportunity for another app with an already large user base to take its crown.
Didn’t XHS shut down their international users? Their website only seems to allow Chinese phone numbers now
At the time of posting I was chatting with a woman from Guangdong about her recommendations for Samsung phones to buy my partner, so, I don’t think so.
Actually I dug deeper and they separated RedNote (international)/XHS (domestic) into different websites which my search engine didn’t want to show for whatever reason
