I am sincerely glad your daughter is having fun, but I have several female friend who are trapped in the toxic spiral of rednote and cannot quit.
From what I read on the Chinese internet, they have a tendency to serve wholesome content to people at first, then switch to toxic content to encourage consumption. As many westerners don’t know, rednote is a shopping-guide app, and they make money from it.
I hope they don’t do it to non-Chinese people and I really hope people like your daughter can continue to have fun wherever they are.

I am not sure, I don’t have a lot of male Chinese friend, so I don’t have any data in that department.
However, to be completely frank, I sometimes feel that now Chinese female are subject to much higher social expectation, which are likely to be reflect on social media, thus amplifying their anxiety.
But I certainly have plenty of female friends that doesn’t use rednote, and they are doing fine. (except one on twiter, and she also doesn’t seem to do that well 🤣
