A RedNote user from Canada named Jerry went viral for a welcome video that many mistakenly believed to be from the CEO of the platform. The video, which encouraged users to continue sharing their voices on social media, was even featured on local news. Jerry has since clarified that he is not the CEO but expressed his hope that users enjoy RedNote.

The RedNote logo appears on a smartphone screen, and the TikTok logo appears on a computer screen as the background in this photo illustration.in English, according to the Guardian, as the U.S. government stands ready to ban TikTok starting Sunday. But if you’re seeing videos about a CEO of RedNote who tells you how to use the platform, don’t be fooled. Some guy went viral this week for his welcome video on RedNote but people seemed to think he’s the head of the company.

“I want to say, never stop sharing your voice because a platform such as Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, YouTube, Xiaohongshu should never be banned,” the man says. “Like people sharing their actual voice there like about wildfire in L.A., about Gaza, and a lot other things, right?” The video is pleasant and perhaps it was so straightforward that it gave an air of authority, like something a tech CEO might post, but he’s not the CEO. RedNote was actually co-founded in Shanghai in 2013 by Miranda Qu, the platform’s current president, and Charlwin Mao, the current CEO, according toin New York ran a segment that ended with a claim that RedNote’s CEO had sent out a welcome video. But it was clear from the way it was described that the news outlet had been fooled.

In the meantime, hundreds of thousands of Americans are giving RedNote a shot as one big fuck-you to the U.S. government. TikTok users really don’t like the idea of being told they can’t use an app they love and migrating to apps owned by people like Mark Zuckerberg is extremely unpalatable for those who see the Meta CEO as an ally of Trump.
