What is the reason for shitty music?

Low key CCP propaganda. Low effort, quasi-on topic content that’s meant to showcase how
✨🌈amazing 🌈✨China is compared to the rest of the world. Basically, “don’t look behind the curtain at our poverty, human rights and environmental abuses, etc. Look at the shiny Tier 1 cities, Belt and Road Initiative projects and nature we haven’t screwed up yet.” The shills like it here, it’s low hanging fruit.

Hey, if it's a big object or view, it meets the requirements of the sub. There are no rules against posting non-Chinese sights, so go crazy.

We should ban bad music though, so the "CCP bots" should post these clips with good music instead.

I don't mean to dispute what you're saying, but don't we get the same views of switzerland cabins, caribbean beaches, etc. on reddit?

u/karatebanana 1d ago

Yeah I think that description fits a lot of countries

u/mnilailt 1d ago

No but you don’t get it, the CCP is mind controlling you with shitty TikTok music!!

u/GrynaiTaip 1d ago

Videos from Switzerland are usually from the tourists themselves. They are not government-issued like in China.

u/Il-2M230 1d ago

It could have been a tourist. For some reason they like to record and share stuff on internet.

u/GrynaiTaip 20h ago

Could be, but tourists aren't allowed to just go everywhere they want, the government actively works on maintaining their image and hiding the ugly parts.

u/Il-2M230 20h ago

Dude, its just a mountain. Im pretty sure even in north korea should be allowed to do so as long as thr PC offcier says so.

u/_BuffaloAlice_ 1d ago

Yeah, on travel and nature subs. Usually not from bot accounts with shitty music.

u/goug 1d ago

(again I don't know)

u/RykosTatsubane 1d ago

When's the last time you saw Japan in this sub

u/_BuffaloAlice_ 1d ago

Definitely not from the same person as you.

u/mnilailt 1d ago

You could say the same about the US.

1

u/GrynaiTaip 1d ago

Whataboutism is also a very common thing in Chinese propaganda.

"Don't look at our glaring issues, look at US instead! They have poor people, therefore it's okay to have poor people."

u/Ikanotetsubin 1d ago

Hallmark of low intelligence: "everything is a conspiracy and everyone else but me is a sheep."

u/_BuffaloAlice_ 1d ago

Never said any of that, but go off little wumao.

u/Tiny-Wheel5561 1d ago

It's literally a mountain view from a cabin, it's not that deep buddy.

Get a grip.

u/MidnightFireHuntress 1d ago

This is basically Reddit in a nutshell now, and funny enough Reddit is banned in China lol

u/drifters74 1d ago

Ironic, but why is that?

0

u/GrynaiTaip 1d ago

You're right. Naive people don't like this reality, hence the downvotes.

u/_BuffaloAlice_ 1d ago

Even if I’m wrong, I’m pretty sure OP is a content bot based on the behavior of the account. At least two of the bots have asked me if I work for the CIA now, which is funny.

1

u/GrynaiTaip 1d ago

Definitely a bot.

5 year old account that stayed dormant for 4 years and then suddenly started making multiple posts per day, zero original content.

u/MesozOwen 1d ago

This is true but to be fair the US does it too. In fact Hollywood has been doing just this for decades.

1

u/TheGrandChonkus 1d ago

It's pretty much required for videos like this.

u/JafarIsKing 10h ago

Prompting people to comment thus driving engagement on the post. Like we are doing right now

u/Hydrazolic 1d ago

Thank god I'm on mute

u/Danielle_Gomez 1d ago

The music sucks

u/BISCUITxGRAVY 1d ago

Wow, y'know that's exactly the music I was expecting

u/vinsmokesanji3 1d ago

Where is this? Mount Hua?

u/Revolutionarytard 1d ago

Absolutely gorgeous

u/Loud_Ad4852 1d ago

Yeah this doesn’t bother me nothing feels threatening just a great view.

7

u/StuckAtOnePoint 1d ago

As a lurker here, is anyone in this thread actually phobic about this? I’m just curious

12

u/BroThoughtHeDidSmth 1d ago

Half this sub is people who absolutely love looking at gigantic, massive things

3

u/StuckAtOnePoint 22h ago

Same here!

2

u/BroThoughtHeDidSmth 22h ago

Me too, one of the most interesting subs i've ever seen. Mostly amazed by it but every now and then you see a post that genuinely induces megalophobia

3

u/AutumnEclipsed 1d ago

I’m mildly disturbed by absurdly large objects, but not phobic.

u/Xepherious 1d ago

Ban OP
