This is just an extension of a long lived trend of kids trolling boomers. For example, someone will make a corny fan cam video of a Chinese government leader, with communist flags and symbols waving as an overlay, and the Chinese anthem playing, then the description text will be something like "What Fox News thinks everyone's FYP is like".
Signing up for RedNote is the same thing. Kids are making videos claiming that they are putting their social security number and personal info on RedNote. It's mostly just bait for boomers and US media to eat up. Some people are absolutely signing up for RedNote, but it doesn't seem to be out of legitimate interest, more as a protest meme that they then post about back on TikTok.
- mytailorisrich 2y agoWhat do you mean by "boomers"?
- NathanKP 2y agoIf you've got a kid in your life try asking them. Realistically for many TikTok users the "boomer" being trolled is probably a 70+ person in Congress or Senate who does not understand technology, or someone younger but with a "boomer mindset", in other words a young person who does not understand technology and modern culture.
