Joe Rogan Calls TikTok “F***king Sketchy”, Raises Spying Questions to MrBeast

Privacy protection is one of the major concerns in the modern, tech-addicted world. Recently, Joe Rogan and YouTuber Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson went on to raise questions at TikTok regarding privacy breaches.

This happened when the famous YouTuber came to the Joe Rogan Experience podcast.

The duo was discussing various social media applications that one can make money through and came across the video-sharing platform. “TikTok is such a f***ing sketchy application,” said Rogan. He also pointed out what the software engineers had to say about the app. 

“You ever seen the breakdown these software engineers have done on TikTok? Of how intrusive it is?… They said it is the single most disturbing piece of software they’ve ever had to back engineer because the amount of cross-platform spying it does,” Rogan told MrBeast.

MrBeast too was skeptical of the video-sharing platform and shared occurrences of privacy breaches. “I have had instances where I would say certain things in conversations and then later that night I would get in my feed something similar. Like if I talk about dogs a lot and then weirdly start getting TikToks about dogs. I have noticed that kind of stuff,” the 23-year-old YouTuber shared.

He also said that he felt the app is following his location. In his own words, MrBeast said, “If you travel to a different state, like even now in Texas, like my TikTok feed will be a lot more Texas content, it’s definitely location-based.”

He later revealed that he has recently uninstalled TikTok from his phone. Although, not for security reasons, but to save the time he was spending on the application.

While on the podcast, MrBeast had a deep discussion with the UFC commentator about his life, career growth, and charity, amongst other things. He also revealed a cool YouTube strategy that he uses to increase reach. By translating his videos into other languages and getting them dubbed by voice actors, MrBeast said his overall reach is nearing 200 million.

Donaldson’s innovative ways and creative content amazed Joe Rogan. He was all praises for the youngster’s wiseness and maturity at 23 years of age.

Notably, MrBeast has various records to his name in the content industry and is one of the biggest YouTubers. He has 91.5 million subscribers on his main account currently.
