Theoretically they could and might. But i dont think they really need to, and the reason why im saying i dont think thats the case is because i feel like i can differentiate between influencers who say anything for views and money versus a broader sentiment that both china and usa just want the data and that security and perception of state spying isnt the primary concern as it has been presented.
But im not an authority on this, which is why this is a lemmy comment and not a published work. However, seeing lemmy comments that demonstrate absolute certainty over the first thought that comes to mind tells me its probably not information worth considering because this is a platform that lives to memeify certain ideologies over thoughtful perception. They could be right, just like i could be right, but im open to learning, and feel like im not being obnoxious.
You think china paid influencers to promote rednote?
Edit: my assumption is that you mean china paid american influencers on tik tok to promote rednote.
Nah, everyone knows influencers don’t get paid to promote stuff. They raise awareness to pressing social issues out of the goodness in their heart.
You think they wouldn’t?
I think they wouldnt
You don’t think our own polarizing politics have paid influences to prop up each side? Why wouldn’t an outsider do the same thing?

Of course they did.
You sound really sure
We’re all talking about Rednote now aren’t we? Apps don’t just explode in popularity without money being spent.
You should always assume that an influencer pushing a product is getting paid to do so.
