Do you need to verify to purchase items on rednote

The living standards of Chinese people presented on Xiaohongshu are exaggerated (This is not a question, but it's very helpful for TTrefugees to understand this Chinese app)

I'm Chinese. The lives of Chinese people are not as good as shown on Xiaohongshu If you are a blogger on Xiaohongshu, and you interview ordinary people in ordinary counties about their daily lives and daily expenses, your videos will be banned soon because ordinary people live in poverty (even China's former Premier Li Keqiang said that 600 million people in China earn less than 1000 yuan per month), and showing these poor lives to the public is not allowed in China because it will deepen people's doubts about the effectiveness of the Communist Party's economic policies. When Xiaohongshu first became popular in China (I don’t mean when Xiaohongshu was first established), it was an app about female consumption and entertainment, and as a result, a serious comparison culture was formed on this app. This culture led to a phenomenon called “refined poverty”, which means that young people with limited incomes spend a lot of money (even borrowing high-interest loans) on some items and services that can show off their wealth on social media, while being very tight on other aspects of life. Therefore, generally speaking, the content about Chinese people's lives that you can see on Xiaohongshu is posted by middle-class people living in big cities and people who are poisoned by the culture of "refined poverty". Ordinary people are too embarrassed to post their ordinary lives on it. Even if they do, if they post too much, their posts will be deleted or their accounts will be blocked. So, I can say that the content about life you can see on Xiaohongshu is exaggerated. The content on Xiaohongshu cannot reflect the real living standards of Chinese people.

TikTok and Rednote by Sixty

Truth nuke on RedNote

Can't believe what I've seen on RedNote. I am no longer convinced that we are living in a "first-world country". It's just insanely eye-opening.

Am I shadowbanned?

My post seem to be getting little views and im pretty sure all the views are just mine! The post isn't private but im really not sure why this is happening. Also they aren't showing up for their respective tags. Any advice or help?

Can't pay consolidation fee.

I purchased an item for the first time on rednote. I received an email asking me to pay the consolidation fee for shipping when it arrived at the warehouse. The issue is the app doesn't display anything on the 'To consolidate' tab, it's on the 'To receive/use' Anyone experienced this? I have no idea what to do because there appears to be no real support, just AI agents.

Shipping fee confusion

So I ended up making an order with the direct shipping, but I saw the option for the consolidation shipping. I wanted to do it, but it seemed pretty weird and I didn’t want to end up getting charged more, what is your guys experience with that shipping option? Does it end up being cheaper? $50 shipping is pretty expensive for me, I ended up paying anyways, but I thought about doing the consolidation option. I just didn’t fully understand, I purchased all of my items from the same seller, so I assumed it would be more affordable, but it wasn’t and the consolidation option was still there. Is it worth selecting consolidation, or is the fee the same/similar or more
