- skohan 6y agoI see no reason a web-based product of European origin could not succeed in the US or Chinese markets. TikTok for example has done phenomenally in western markets despite the large cultural differences the development team likely has from many of their users.

- skohan 6y agoWould those affect a european-based company hosting and serving users in the US or Asia? US-based companies face the same challenges when trying to reach European customers, so this is an equal playing field as far as I can tell.
