Tips

culture

The meaning shifted generations. Pre-2020, 小黄车 meant Ofo's shared bicycles (famously bankrupted with millions of unreturned deposits). Post-2020, in Douyin livestream commerce it refers to the yellow shopping-cart icon where the streamer drops product links — 上小黄车 means 'added to the cart link'.
