It never ceases to amaze me how blatantly false, easily disproven claims about China, such as, "Douyin is all math and science videos" become common wisdom in the US. Nobody bothers to check for themselves. Someone makes something up, and everyone else just runs with it.
The best example of this is the social credit score myth, which somehow refuses to die, despite the fact that it's untrue and completely absurd.
Douyin is full of trashy/silly content.
