Sorry to sound harsh. Maybe it's time to burst out of the English/US bubble and look at what's happening around other parts of the world.
Come to think of it, maybe I should start a blog focused on covering tech in China.
Edit: To give some context, out of 10 videos that I see on facebook, about 3 of them are "directly taken" from douyin. You can spot them because they have the watermark in Chinese. Granted my social circle is more "Chinese", but lots of content are not Chinese specific, like cats or random funny videos.
