| So was this app at one point in time: https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/9/21058399/david-dobrik-disp... It's called Dispo. You probably haven't heard of it because it became almost irrelevant a few weeks after launch. #1 on the app store doesn't mean a whole lot. |

| ▲ | xmprt 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | I agree. But I'm just saying that #1 on the app store doesn't preclude something from being a fad and my guess is that in 1 month's time, no one is going to be talking about RedNote outside of Chinese communities. |

| How many of those downloads originated in China? Genuine question, I read the article and it doesn't say. Apple's App Store is available in China, and China's population alone could be skewing those numbers. |
