Not really. It depends on what it is. There are entire games and items that aren’t available in the US, but make a killing in Asia.

Like, here’s Genshin Impact numbers from 2023.

On that game, the US comes in at 7th, is less than half of the top country (Japan) and is notably behind Switzerland.

For Tik Tok specifically, we can look at their annual reports.

Let’s look at average annual users per region. 682M in Asia Pacific, which does not include China. 192M in North America.

China’s numbers are 750M daily.

I don’t think most of their money comes from the US.

I was so happy I could get my cat off of Purina.

How have they been verifying mailed in tax forms with no pictures for decades?

Seems like it unnecessarily disenfranchises the poor and the elderly. You have to have access to equipment that can record you and the tech savvy to be able to use it.

You should be driven more by the content of your food, than how “pretty” it is.

That’s not how people work.

You could have the most delicious beef Wellington on the planet, but if it looks like monkey brains, it’s going to give people a gag reflex. If you have a good that your brain expects to taste one way and it tastes another way, then it might cause a gag reflex or other aversion. Of your food looks spoiled, people will be adverse to it even if it’s fresh and perfectly fine.

You can’t undo human survival evolution because it’s ‘unnecessary’ with the snap of your fingers.

That’s okay, I’m an American and interpreted South East as South East Asia too.

I don’t normally see the space when referring to the Southeastern US, only for South East Asia. I have no idea why that is and have never really thought about it.
