Back from vacation, and is TikTok really a nightmare? Patroncast S03E09

Hey everyone!

I'm back from my vacation, and so here is your next episode of the Patroncast!


In this one, I talk about:

- 01:13 My vacation, and how I'm apparently now free of the "back to work dread" that filled me when I had a "normal" day job

- 12:19 TikTok, my personal bias, the worries I have about it, and how I'm going to look into it to see if it's just me being an old man yelling at the new thing, or if there is something to worry about

I hope you enjoy listening to this one!


Best,

Nick

True, there was that whole "reporter stalking" issue. Apparently they fired the people responsible, but it still means any employee has access to the data...

I agree on short form videos. They're just not interesting to me at all!

From what I can tell from reading TikTok is definitely tracking more info than they should about users and moving the data to China. And apparently they were tracking reporters writing adversarial articles for Forbes.

Lanzarote is really a beautiful place. I definitely have to spend my next vacation there. Regarding TikTok: Apart from being an App, which doesn't give a damn about my privacy (and also probably sending data to government institutions I will never ever support), I just don't see the value of short form videos. It's more limiting in my opinion. And to me it just feels like there is too much going on, when the app just jumps from video to video in a short period of time.
