Joe Rogan explains why TikTok in China is \u2018better\u2019 than the US YouTube: Joe RoganJoe Rogan is convinced Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, is \u2018better\u2019 than the US version, explaining its community and restrictions \u201cencourage achievement\u201d compared to the Western app. Rogan isn\u2019t the biggest fan of social media. In January 2021, the podcast host and comedian admitted he\u2019s worried about censorship, explaining that it \u201csets a precedent where the people in power can decide that something is wrong\u201d. A year earlier, in January 2020, he called out TikTok specifically for being a \u201ccyber threat.\u201d However, he believes that the Chinese version of the app, and the way it\u2019s used, is much \u2018better\u2019 than its US counterpart. \u201cThe way China is handling it is so different than America,\u201d said Rogan. \u201cChina\u2019s version of TikTok celebrates academic achievements and athletic achievements. It\u2019s all science projects. All these different fascinating things.\u201d What makes it even more impressive, in his view, is the fact that it has a \u2018youth mode.\u2019 It\u2019s a feature that limits people under 14 from using the app for more than 40 minutes per day, and the shut-off time is 10pm. He believes this is a good thing. \u201cThey\u2019re trying to encourage achievement, right? They\u2019re doing all these things with like this idea of engineering a society of more accomplished, more successful people.\u201d In contrast, he lamented over how it\u2019s used in the United States. \u201cWhat are we doing on TikTok?\u201d he scoffed. \u201cKids are f**king dancing. They\u2019re screaming about veganism and how blue their hair is. It\u2019s wild.\u201d Rogan isn\u2019t a fan of the way TikTok is used in the US. So, he\u2019s probably out of the loop when it comes to who the most followed stars are. However, he\u2019s far more enthusiastic about YouTube. He praised MrBeast for having a \u201cgreat show\u201d and claimed that his approach to content creation, which revolves around high-stakes challenges and philanthropy, is \u201csmart\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
