Maybe someone can explain to me the very American (US citizens) tendency to create videos where they rant, rage, and cry on social media.

Me joining the legions of puzzled Chinese folks watching this phenomenon on XiaoHongShu as they pour their trauma on the Chinese socials. 🍿

Ps: yes, I hear it's quite a thing on TikTok. And yes I know some Europeans do it etc. This may surprise you but I have never nor do I ever will, browse TikTok. Not that I can avoid these selfie videos as they are on YouTube too. I just find it odd as I don't think Malaysians do this much and the Chinese? Almost never 😅

@mcmullin I can only notice what I see from Youtube and RedNote. I notice that the Europeans don't do this as much. In my culture, "face" is a big thing, as you know, so it prevents us from crying or showing any vulnerabilities on the Internet for our family, workmates or anyone of significance from seeing it lest we ... well, to put it bluntly, look less than capable.

So this habit of Americans is mindboggling to me because in my mind, they are shooting their personal image in the foot socially in the most graphic way.

I guess in the US it doesn't work the same?

It’s true that “face” in the specifically Asian sense is less important here, but Americans generally don’t want to look like idiots either. My guess is this is less a widespread cultural phenomenon, and more a learned adaptation to the incentives of social media algorithms which reward that kind of drama. For some, any attention is good attention, especially if it’s monetizable.

@Ripper Magoo Honestly I've not cared much for Sony gear, none of their amplifiers had the ability to drive current that woofers demand at the lower end of the frequency range, nor adequate power. Their shortwave receivers, the high end ones, were not bad, but they were also $3k in 1970's money.
