This evolution has not been taken lightly, and the account’s content continues to carry bigger weight and possible impact. The decision to abandon the original, “fun” idea and move toward something far more significant has been made seemingly on its own QQ followers and Instagram users more broadly have demanded a public platform used to, quite literally, influence.
