Probably due to most large social media platforms and entertainment content being from there, so their rules and social norms get imported here along with the content like the Colorado potato beetle, instead of being adapted to the local market and local culture, the way McDonald's is in France for example.

- valicord 2y ago"Doesn't mean anything" is a shorthand for "not well-defined" and "means completely different things to different people" which makes it a useless word for any serious conversation.
