Honestly I had that app on my phone for 3 months before I actually started using so I feel you there. It’s not that bad to start off with and it starts super slow. And fuck streaks and notifications and all that shit I just do it when I’m bored instead of scrolling and refreshing pages on my social media of choice.
There will always be alternatives. And honestly I don’t blame them for going to an even more Chinese app. Your data is going to get taken and used against you anyway so you might as well give it to China and fuck over the US companies that are directly fucking you over.
I’m not saying it’s the right mindset, I’m just saying I get it.
