    China recently decimated their (previously thriving) influencer ecosystem, simply by requiring that health influencers have documented health education, financial influencers have finance education, etc… China implemented the rule, and immediately banned like ~95% of all their health influencers. The rule targets both individual influencers and the platforms that host them. And no platform wants to stick their neck out and eat fines for some random influencer. So influencers who didn’t have documented education got banned basically overnight.

      We need this AND it will never happen here.

      China is clearly winning at modern society. The US is an empire in decline and it’s becoming more clear by the day.

      We so fucked.

      IDK if China is really a great example here, considering how many Chinese doctors will still tell you that drinking cold water is bad for you, and garlic makes people horny.

        That’s the funny thing about medicine… Lots of medical advice is largely determined by where you live. In America, doctors tell pregnant women to avoid eating too much fish. In Japan, doctors tell pregnant women to eat more fish.

          Well, there is also a huge quality difference between the average fish you can buy in the states compared to Japan

            Its also which kind of fish iirc prey fish accumulate heavy metals which matters for an embroy…at least that’s the explanation i heard, therefore sushi no good because there will be salmon
